In his defense, there have been some bad performances from the bullpen lately. He can't use the same guys every night.[/quote]
To paraphrase the late George Steinbrenner, “I’ve seen enough of this A.J. Cole experiment!”
Actually I don’t understand why Boone keeps throwing him in close games. He had a nice run when they first picked him up but he has been horrible for months.
As for Sanchez, enough, it’s just not going to happen this year. Put Romine as the starter with Sanchez as the back-up until you are done. Work with Sanchez over the winter (including mentally) and try again next year.[/quote]
Maybe it's because Boone is a retard.
Cole is the first one in after Happ, why???? Cessa after Cole allowed one run in the next 3. So why is Cole the first one in?
Cole, now has a 9.60 ERA in his last 14 appearances, totaling 15 innings.
Please bring back Girardi, atleast he's have the brains to know who to not put in, and don't give me that rookie manager bs. I never played in little league, HS and coll. I'd do a better job then this idiot.[/quote]
Girardi has his faults too. His circle of trust would be so small sometime he'd bring guys in even when he could have gone with someone else due to the size of the lead. And while I don't get Boone (or Cashman) hitting Torres 9th, I didn't get Girardi hitting Ellsbury 3rd either.
Torre would kept giving us Scott Proctor (used him up) and what was this thing for Sergio Mitre?[/quote]
Cashman is telling Boone how to manage and who to put in? He's telling Boone that Coles comes from the pen first?
If that's the case then I tell Cashman that i'll quit and you could manage the team your damn self.
I'm not an ass kisser, and won't look bad for anyone including my boss. I's rather be fired then look like a clueless idiot that know wtf he's doing.[/quote]
I didn't say that Cashman was telling Boone to bring in Cole first however if you don't think Cashman has a say on the roster composition and the makeup of the line-up you're kidding yourself. That is the way these teams that are going with more analytics are run. The old school (no pun intended) way of going on gut feelings, hunches and the manager having total control on the day to day with the club is few and far between. Boone knew that going in as do must new "younger" managers otherwise they wouldn't have gotten hired.
Control is one of (if not the main one) reasons that Girardi isn't back. The Front Office did not have the control over him and the lineups that they wanted (they also didn't think his style was going to work with the younger players over a long term and a host of other things but No. 1 was control. For proof all you have to do is go back and look at some of the comments made about control.
While I don't believe everything I see on TV or in the movies even if they are "based" on true stories (based just means that, doesn't mean it tells the story truthfully), if you haven't seen it, catch the movie "Moneyball" or read the book. It gives you a good idea on what is going on now in terms of how involved in the day to day the front offices are. Again there are exceptions and degrees but the role and rules a Manager goes by now is a lot different than in the past.[/quote]
Well if cashman know how the team should be run and manage then he should be the manager. You're the manager, and know Cole should never go in, but because of Cashman, you have to put in Cole. Then when and not if Cole gets lit up, you're the one that looks like a fool, while Cashman looks all pretty in his suit.
That's a no win situation to me, I'd rather stay on t.v. and never manage.
