That game was nuts. Houston is one scrappy team.
Yanks shit can Girardi right after the only team stupid enough to hire him fills their vacancy. Dirty.

A bit surprised by that decision.
Took that team to game 7 of the ALCS, well beyond expectations.

Good thing the Sox already nabbed Cora.

Now the Yanks can hire Farrell
I really think they purposefully waited until they were sure he wouldn't be hired by the Mets or Red Sox.
I don't how people can speak so confidently about the impact of a manager in baseball. We don't know shit, really, other than the obvious outliers.
Girardi was ok but had some annoying habits in my view. I don't mind a new manager, I wouldn't mind keeping him.

Yes, that seems to be the case.
Wit that said, Girardi had a solid managerial career with the Yankees. The pressure is on for his replacement. (A given, of course.
) The 2018 Yankees could be poised for a World Series appearance.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Nats at least interviewed Girardi, they wanted him back in 2007 but he went into broadcasting for a year after the Marlins fucked him over.

Though I suppose nothing is tying Girardi formally to the Marlins yet.
Also, Mattingly for head coach of the Yanks. Take Stanton with him, probably.

At this point anything is possible. Imagine if Jeter dismissed Donnie Baseball and hired Girardi. Then imagine if the Yankees signed Mattingly. And Mattingly manages the Yankees to a World Championship. You can dream, right?
I'd imagine Cashman has a pretty good idea as to who he wants to hire, otherwise why wait until after some of the other top candidates are already off the board before making a move?

I actually went to the movies instead of watching the game (The Florida Project, it's good) but still managed to get back in time to watch the last three innings, including LA's final comeback. Glad the game went on as long as it did.

I fell asleep after the Astros went up in the 7th.
This is true.

Anyone want to defend Dave Roberts's decision to leave Morrow in that long? The guy gives up a home run and a single before eve recording one out. Altuve is next to bat. Houston has now tied it up. Wouldn't you yank Morrow at that point? I don't know who else was available but that seemed like a pretty big mistake to me, as Morrow then gives up a double (scoring another run) and then a 2-run homer.

I was actually awake when the game ended...and still got up at 645 in the morning.
I have to get up at 5:30, so after Springer tied it at 8 the TV went off.
After having his #4 hitter bunt on a 7-7 game with a hobbled Justin Turner on second and no outs. That was legitimately the worst managerial decision in this postseason (Girardi's non-challenge being hors concours).
