Wait for it.  You know.  It’s the Yankees who already have 2 more errors tonight.  In the Joe Girardi era, the Yankees were always strong on the fundamentals.  What’s up?  Cold weather?  Maybe although many teams are playing in damp, cold conditions.  Combine this with all of the base running blunders early this season, and you wonder why?

Did you see Tommy Kahnle was put on the DL with a sore shoulder?  Did you see that Boone had him throw 48 pitches in one outing last week?  SU has said this several times: Girardi protected his relievers.  He was the anti-Joe Torre.  In the cold weather, is Boone paying attention?

Rookie manager, rookie mistakes, learning curve in a sport where the  manager is just not that critical.  Look, this is nothing that 250 home runs won’t cure but it will not get it done in the post-season.

SU issues this parental warning: do not let your children watch Giancarlo Stanton play at Yankee Stadium.  The dude comes up with RISP every time and is just not getting it done.  It’s hard to watch and the viewer needs to turn away.  Boone, the great communicator, needs to tell him in a soothing voice while rubbing the back of his neck that he will bat 6th for the foreseeable future as he is killing every rally.  Let him be Graig Nettles and hit 32 home runs with 68 rbis down in the line up.  Lower the expectations for the $30 million man.
