Bobby Meacham

Has to go. Absolutely has to go.

He went through a period where he got people thrown out by 30 feet. I tink he's afraid to have anyone else thrown out at home.

Now he stops people who could walk home. The hold of Abreu at 3rd on Giambi's hit last night was awful.

I really cannot believe it.

Girardi, also is in panic mode. What the heck was the drama last night when hw went and talked to Pena twice before pulling Jete for a pinch runner.

Well the stupidity didn't cost the game. I'm afraid it is possible the Staff has lost the players. You could see Giambi trying to wave Abreu home from first. He was a very frustrated man.

There were 2 outs. That's when you take the chance. The throw went to second because they conceded the run, but Bobby stopped him.

I don't care that they did get the 2 out hit and score him.

Something has to change.

Bobby has to go.

The Yanks really need a new third base coach. Bobby Mecham is terrible. He sends people when they need to stop and he stops people when they could ran back a forth before getting out. The Yankees are not in the position to play it safe, they need to be aggressive and get every run you can and last night was the icing on the cake. Not sending Abreyu was a joke. My mother could have ran home safely.

Did anyone notice when he sent Giambi home? If the Joe Mauer didn’t drop the ball, Giambi was out.

This garbage needs to stop and Mecham needs to grow a pair and send some people on close plays with 2 outs.

I agree

Mecham has been horrible over there this season.

Bring Back Bowa ...

Both great ideas

And we might well be easing the next manager into the clubhouse.

i agree

but i don’t think bowa would leave torre. i am all for bringing willie into the fold, however cbeck brings up a good point. how do you think girardi would feel about having him in the dugout? big pink elephant in room!!

He was a terrible player

And his skills translated to the coaching box. Please get him out of the Yankiverse ASAP. He’s a bad reminder of our embarrassing 1980s era.

Double tag at homeplate

I was at the game when Dale Berra and Bobby Meachem were tagged out at home on the same play. It’s has to be one of the worse base-running blunders in Yankee history. When I learned that Bobby was to coach third, I immediately thought back to that infamous play and thought “this is gonna’ bite us in the collective ass.”

100+ games into the season, it has bit us in the collective ass.
