They finally did it. Joe Girardi has finally been relieved of his manager position after an awful 22-29 start to the season.
You never want to feel the need to fire your manager, but Girardi’s lack of energy and mismanagement of the bullpen are more than enough cause for termination.
Will this fix everything? Not at all, but it’s a clear message to the big names on this team that you want to succeed. Rob Thompson has been named the interim manager until the end of the season.
