Joe Girardi has plenty of time to second-guess himself.
He visited his office Friday for the first time since the Yankees' season ended Tuesday night. He has a hard time watching playoff games on TV, and as a sign helpfully pointed out as he came into the stadium Friday, he had 122 days until spring training. It's no wonder that his internal monologue can read like a police interrogation.
Should he have played Jacoby Ellsbury instead of Brett Gardner in Tuesday night's 3-0 wild-card loss to the Astros? Was there anything he could have done to mitigate the Yankees' second-half decline?
