Or, he can learn it at the major league level, but that would require patience from the organization, the media, and the fans. And we know that ain't gonna happen.

Or, he can learn it at the major league level, but that would require patience from the organization, the media, and the fans. And we know that ain’t gonna happen.

So he belongs at Scranton this year.

The kid is 22 years old. Give him a break. If he takes two more years to find himself, he could still have a 15-year career! Remember, he didn't rush himself up here and he didn't set such high expectations for himself, the organization did. Imagine if Zack Greinke had been in the Yankee organization. He took a few years to get his stuff together and look at him now. If he'd been a Yankee, I imagine it would have gone done EXACTLY like the Hughes situation. Sad. Maybe we need a few years out of the playoffs so everyone can get a freakin' grip. Jeez, you Hughes bashers need to get a grip. The kid is 22 years old. Give him a break.

Did Girardi look like a good manager yesterday? All about the starting pitching. When we get it, then Girardi and Eliand look good, the team looks like they have "heart", and all these other silly things fans look for. Tomorrow if Joba pitches a gem and we score some runs, Girardi will "save" his job and the team will look great again. yes… it is Girardi’s fault that Hughes gave up 8 runs in the 2nd inning.

But this regime doesn't run things that way and panicking is the dumbest thing they could do. I don't recall this team doing a whole lot of winning when they were firing managers on a yearly basis. If the Yanks lose the Baltimore finale and then get embarrassed by Toronto, Girardi and Eiland are done.
