Kim Jones: Joe, Jose Molina is a back up catcher, a good one, but a guy not known for his hitting. And, the more he plays, the more he's exposed. He got three hits tonight. How much of a boast is that for this offense?
Joe Girardi (in my perfect world): Well Kim, clearly we don't WANT him to hit. I mean, really, what would be the point of putting a guy in the lineup and EXPECTING him to drive runs in, or even make contact with the baseball? No, we want our guys to know they don't need to do anything productive, especially when filling in for an all-star the likes of Jorge Posada, who he had to put on the 15-day DL. Obviously, Molina's three hits tonight were a product of this coaching staff not getting its message across. We'll have a meeting before tomorrow's agame and make it clear. Just showing up is good enough.
Seriously, can clubhouse/sideline reporting be any less informative? Possibly, but unlikely.
Hooray for four in a row.
