Wow it's Cashman "From my perspective, it is how Alex has recently looked against right-handers" that led to the decision to bench him, Cashman said.

and Chavez has been better this postseason?

Gardner? Dude hasn't hit all year & typically wasn't as good at the top of the lineup anyway.

and Noony isn't nearly as good vs. RHP as he is vs. lefties.

All of this against Verlander at home, btw. :why:

I'll take my chances on him being more productive than Alex at this point. As far as the rest of the changes..just a combination of the binder and Joe throwing shyt at the wall and hoping it sticks. I don't necessarily agree but I understand his reasoning.

This is NY's way of looking elsewhere for clutch AB's.

fukk it. Every other team pulls shyt outta their ass and has it work. Descalso, Kozma, Joaquin Arias, Avisail Garcia. It's our turn.

Arod 4-7 2 hr for this year :stopitslime:It's organizational trying to get out from his money . He had better Atbats than Chavez and grandy its a scapegoat tactic

This looks tacky as hell when the whole team isn't hitting and you keep scapegoating him . The manager threw him under the bus when Arod said he was working on his wrist girardi said no Arods healthy implying he's finished. The binder made no defense of Arod at all while defending swisher and grandy and cano. The guy hit 4-7 this season with 2 hr off verlander and now he gets benched .
Noony is a horrible Ss to throw him out there is a slap in the face , they really trying to get out from under his money

I'm glad to see Swisher finally got benched. Whether Gardner does anything remains to be seen, but something had to be done. Maybe this is a reality check for Swisher and it can help him turn it around :manny:. A-Rod getting benched every other game for Chavez is getting ridiculous. Chavez really hasn't done anything with the bat in months. They need to stop scapegoating boli and bailing him out. I want to see A-Rod out there. Either he'll continue to choke for the world to see, or he'll somehow find a pair and pull off what would be one of the more memorable turn-around's in post season history.

Honestly how can Arod and girardi coexist next year ?? He embarrassed the guy repeatedly :snoop: by doing this they give him sympathy cause his numbers aren't worse than lackadaisical cano and he's fielding like a boss .

Nunez batting .205 versus righties :youngsabo: he keeps killing Arod for his struggles with righties damn joe . That's a bytch move. Nunez can't field and can't hit righties
