Yankees fans were chanting, “We want Torre,” in the ninth inning Tuesday night. That can’t sit well with management. The one thing I thought Girardi would do well as a manager is get the pitching in shape. As a player, he was the catcher you wanted behind the plate to coax a good game out of a starter. The Yankees pitching since he began has been a disappointment, however. The probability is that the staff is just off to a bad start, but Joe hasn’t seemed to work any magic in a year and a month.
