Those looking for Joe Girardi to take the fall for a third straight disappointing Yankees season are wasting time and energy.
“It’s a fact, nobody should be looking for anybody different,’’ general manager Brian Cashman said when asked if Girardi, who has two years and $8 million remaining on his contract, was in trouble. “He is signed for two more years and managed the team to the playoffs. It’s not his fault we didn’t hit. He managed a perfect playoff game.’’
And got beat, 3-0, by the Astros in the AL wild-card game Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium because of a lack of hitting, a malady that hurt the Yankees in September.
