Hard to steal when few of your players have base stealing ability. Hard to play hit and run and run and hit when your players strikeout so much. Hard to hit to the opposite field when so many of your players are mostly pull hitters and again, strikeout so much. A manager's style is limited by his teams shortcomings.
Well now Boone won't have to wait as long
Nice! Thanks buddy!!JG, if Boone doesn’t work out, you have my support to be the next Yankee Skipper....
Nobody is fielding a team full of punch & Judy hitters. Everyone is swinging for the fences nowadays, and if there is one absolute concept that emerged from the movie, Moneyball, it’s that a sacrifice bunt is essentially throwing away an at bat.
Wow, he eliminated the Red Sox?
Yes, my man Nolan!
Stanton had all the leverage so he chose potential championship teams in the biggest media markets: NY & LA.
Next year Yankee Fan Bryce Harper!
Babe Ruth hit the first Home Run at Muzzy Field in Bristol Conn. history!
Loved the humorous tweet from Didi Gregorious to new manager Aaron Boone after the announcement of the Stanton trade: “Am I still batting cleanup Skip?”
As is my point. Girardi's coaching style is predicated by the team on the field. The game you want him to play is not the game his players can play.
I understand. One thing that I was trying to point out was the fact that the news stories that were published the day before the trade was that he had said that he would not void his no trade clause if he was traded to either the Red Sox or the Yankees. Just makes you wonder where these "reporters" get their information. And this isn't just about this story but news stories in general.
