Kyle Hendricks. 2 Earned Runs total in 5 postseason starts. I wake up this morning and everyone was talking about Strasburg yet they forget about KH all the time. All pressure squarely on Nats now. Regarding Yankees/Girardi. Those losses are the type that make a franchise change direction. Will always love Joe (Cubs fan) but maybe a year off or change of scenery is needed. Not a Yankees fan so I don't know what most of their fans think. Edit: Didn't read other posts before I asked about Girardi. Kind of what I expected.

Well the way I look at it is that Joe got them into the post season. And most of the Yankee fans I see on other boards say it is time for a change.

5fouls Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I would be perfectly okay if the Reds hired Joe Girardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I’d say Girardi is one of the better managers. Where is all the Francona talk coming from? He should be locked in there. Their next five years look really good. That’s a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 As a Yankees fan, Joes managerial job in last nights game is akin to Creans Syracuse game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a tough 13 inning loss to the Indians (after leading 8-3). Fans are ready to run Girardi out of town! Especailly after not challenging a call in the 6th that came back to bite them. Francona was clearly the better manager tonight..... Tito is one of the greatest and most underappreciated managers of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get off topic much but it's amazing how the great coaches in different sports just need a fresh start somewhere else. Belichick fired by Cleveland look at him now. Saban at MSU was average at best...look at him now. Same with Tito. 4 years in Philly and his best finish was 8 below .500? Now look at him. Was funny reading an article that when Theo was hiring his manager in Boston. I think it was after 2003 season. He narrowed it down to 2. Francona and Maddon. Funny how 13-14 later these are 1 and 1A guys in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Phew!!! What a nail biter at Yankee Stadium last night! Girardi got booed during the player intros.... Judge robs Clevelands' Lindor of a 2 run homerun. He used all 6'7" of his frame to grab it at the wall (Yes size does matter ). Greg Bird smacks a homerun that stood up. I though if you blow a 5 run lead like they did on Friday, no way a 1 run lead will hold up, but it did. Not sure this 'ol guys ticker can take more games like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Both Cubs and Nats agreed to play Game 4 at 1:20 today but TBS refused to move time up from 4:38 start. Rain is in forecast all day in Chicago. Couple of small windows here and there but I doubt they can get this one in which means Nats could pitch Strasburg if game is pushed to Wednesday. Big break for Nats if game gets called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The Yanks got off the mat after being down 2 games to none and tied the series at 2 games apiece. Now the decisive game 5 shifts to Cleveland on Wed. No matter, win or lose, I'm proud of what this team has accomplished this year, in spite of their sucky manager. I can't help but think what could have been if the Yankees had held on to their 5 run lead in Fridays game....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
