Joe Girardi's propensity for burning through his bullpen finally caught up to him when he pulled David Robertson after he had retired the first two Angels in the 11th inning and watched frozenly as Alfredo Aceves promptly lost Game 3.

Girardi deserves the heat
New York Yankees Fan Blog —
Girardi deserves the heat By Aziz October 20, 2009, 7:03AM Joe Girardi generally makes good decisions. Yesterday, he did not . Girardi exhibited a classic case of overmanaging yesterday in the 11th inning, and the Angels basically got a gift-wrapped victory a few innings earlier than you would have expected that game to go. The Yankees were rolling, and appeared to be settling in for another long haul extra inning game. But David Robertson just wasn't good enough, and in came Alfredo Aceves. With two outs. Two hits later, the game was over. ...

... was deemed the absolute worst manager in baseball. You just have to love the media (especially its New York manifestation ). The guy wins more games than any other manager in the 2009 MLB season, sweeps the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins in ALDS, takes the first two games from the Anaheim Angels in the ALCS, and yet all those accomplishments are seemingly wiped away by Monday's egregious example of micro-management or over-management or bad management that apparently led directly to the Yankees'loss. Yes, apparently the New York Yankees were defeated in Game 3 simply ...

lennysyankees.com 10/20/2009 — All year, Yankees fans like me have seen Joe Girardi use a short leash on relief pitchers.
