I don't miss Girardi at all. It was time for him to go. The date on his carton was probably two years past. On the other hand, I can't get a handle on this latest run of Boonisms...
Here are his primary sins...
Resting players who have a hot bat.
Resting players with a day off the following day.
Getting guys going by playing the cold players (often in place of hot players)
Resting players the day after a great performance (is this like buying a little league player a milkshake if he hits a HR)?
Leaving in his least experienced starting pitchers for too long.
Turning to Shreve too often in games that are still winnable.
Using Shreve to get him going.
Now, we have the hit and run with Stanton on deck...two down in the eighth etc.
The hit and run sign today apparently was Boone bumping his eyebrows up and down...Dumb sign...
And oh, yes. I voted that I was satisfied with him. I don't know how much rope he should get, but mine is getting shorter...
