Girardi has been a loving DISASTER this game.

I legitimately have no idea what he's doing out there.

this is actually perfect, thank you

I've always thought that Girardi was a good but not great manager that got a lot of flak for no reason, but his decisions this season have been weird and bad. No idea why he didn't trust Gary on challenging or taking D-Rob out for Kahnle or Chapman

if we sign a new manager I wouldn't be mad

To be fair Contreras has worked two great AB's and been called out on ball 3 and robbed of a hit on a liner up the middle, respectively.

He literally said he wanted to give D-Rob more rest and didn't want him to pitch today. Yet after an inning and a third he sends him out there for another. What the gently caress?

Why get Chapman up in that inning with Green and then sit him back down, get D-Rob up who now needs more time to get ready so you can't bring him in with the bases loaded Lindor situation.

Don't get me started on the no-challenge.

Well as long as we keep running up his pitch count t we should be able to attack the bullpen.

How many pitches does he have?

Even if he was at a high pitch count Dusty would leave him out there for 150 pitches and you know it.
