Nice bounce back games since Friday.
Was very emotional at the post game presser last night. I hope he's back. I think he does a great job 90% of the time and I don't think he's fully appreciated here.
of hard data showing that man on 1st with no outs yields more overall runs and increases the likelihood of scoring a single run over a man on second with one out, you're still complaining that it was a failure for Gardner to not bunt?
If stats were the be all and end all then Girardi would have 5 rings as a manager. My argument all along has been that scoring runs in the playoffs is much harder than the regular season and managers who are playoff bound need to prepare for this by priming their team for small ball in case they need to manufacture runs in October, something Girardi did only one season that I can recall, I'll let you guess which. I'd be very curious if the stats posted above can be parsed to show if there is any difference between regular and post season.
Girardi may decide it's time to move on. He would be highly sought after, and he might feel that 10 years in one place is enough and needs a change
