You knew, for example, when this guy came up in the 7th with s runner in scoring position, Tidrow is coming in to pitch to him. Girardi is all over the place, sometimes seemingly irrational in his choices. He's Italian. He should know better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-39239313221101025892015-02-25T09:01:56.230-05:002015-02-25T09:01:56.230-05:00I will say it again: Ichiro was completely misuse...I will say it again: Ichiro was completely misused by Girardi or whoever was calling those shots. Benched against lefties when he hit lefties better than anyone else on the team. Benched so guys who truly sucked could play. Played against righties who he can no longer hit...well, he can hit them as well as the rest of the team, but that's not saying anything.<br /><br />Meanwhile, he was still faster, a better fielder, and had as good or better an arm as guys who, many times, played ahead of him.<br /><br />Maybe he never should have signed Hal's paper. Like Belushi said in Animal House, 'You fucked up. You trusted us.' But his misuse on the field is just another example of the genius that is Girardi.
