Chapman should not be used in such situations now. Give him low leverage situations until he can prove himself worthy. I could care less what inning it is. Let him "close" when we have a 6 run advantage going into the 9th.

Wow, that's...completely predictable.<br /><br />Here are Brett's career splits:<br /><br />First Half: 424 R 667 H 106 2B 30 3B 58 HR 248 RBI 140 SB .276 BA .357/.417/.774<br /><br />Second Half: 248 R 391 H 70 2B 22 3B 24 HR 143 RBI 93 SB .241 BA .330/.356/.686<br /><br />Now granted, a lot of the quantity stats speak to the fact that he's played over 200 fewer second-half games. But that's largely because of all the time he's spent on the DL, which speaks to the same point.<br /><br />Brett Gardner has rarely possessed the durability to remain effective and on the field for a whole season. He really has always been more of a fourth outfielder type, more like a lower-grade Tommy Henrich, or part of the old White-Piniella platoon. <br /><br />Nothing wrong with that. Those guys were critical to winning Yankees teams, just as Gardner has often been a key contributor.<br /><br />But it's the tried and disastrously untrue Cashman mode of operating to pretend that you have, say, Rickey Henderson, when what you've really got is Roy White with a much better arm.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-56138827013814108652017-08-15T11:36:08.455-04:002017-08-15T11:36:08.455-04:00@Tom....yes Chad Green will win the race for the f...@Tom....yes Chad Green will win the race for the first reliever to be completely overused this season.

Bring in the right guy for the situation -- like Terry Francona did last fall -- instead of the assigned guy for the predetermined inning. <br /><br />This is the big frustration with Girardi. He seems to be most comfortable with routine, and he sticks to the plan come hell or high water and he doesn't have the flexibility to deviate when the dam is about to break. Billy Martin was never my favorite human being or Yankee manager, but he was capable of strategic thinking and improvisation, as opposed to how Torre and Girardi manage from a script they put together before the game. If you have a bullpen with as much horsepower as the Yankees', why create a hierarchy? Some competitive tension seems smart to me.<br /><br />As it is now, it looks like Chad Green is first in line for the Scott Proctor plan for career ruination, and the rest of the guys will pitch only when circumstances precisely match Joe's predetermined conditions.

He can lose a game in the eight inning as well as the ninth, so why move him there? Joe is correct in giving him more time to work out his issues. If he doesn't regain his form soon then make a change. But athletes go through times were their game is off and need time to readjust. The fact is, as deep as the bullpen is, it is much better with Chapman playing well and closing . He is worth giving more time to. He may or may not regain his stuff, but is worth the time.The Ghost of Yankees Pastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-30488404973360709882017-08-15T09:54:30.972-04:002017-08-15T09:54:30.972-04:00The proud, volatile Posada could be humiliated but...The proud, volatile Posada could be humiliated but the proud, volatile Chapman can't?<br /><br />Guess Posada wasn't packing heat. <br /><br />C'mon guys.

The manager is smart enough to know Chapman is a liability right now and that his ninth-inning failures have a corrosive effect on a team’s confidence. But Girardi also wants to avoid lighting Chapman's short fuse by demoting him to eighth-inning duty."<br /><br />We have to figure out a way to get rid of Chapman. If he's sucking and won't take a seat without having a temper tantrum, we don't need him.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-46440262617563089012017-08-15T08:57:44.027-04:002017-08-15T08:57:44.027-04:00and if Gardner manages to go 1 for 5 in every game...and if Gardner manages to go 1 for 5 in every game, he will be starting a hot streak.Parson Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312179928176617912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-32153397836798127462017-08-15T08:40:57.329-04:002017-08-15T08:40:57.329-04:00Sweep?
