The players are ultimately responsible for the outcome.
But this disgraceful game-changing at-bat is Girardi's fault:
"Kendry Morales: Intentional ball, Ball, Hunter stole third, Ball, Morales homered to center, Hunter and Matsui scored."
At first, the Yankees were going to intentionally walk Morales, but then they changed their mind.
If you're going to throw an intentional ball, then you have to stick with the intentional walk. You can't just put your pitcher in a 1-0 hole.
The 3-0 pitch was grooved, despite the fact that the Yankee coaches were reminding Cervelli/Marte that Morales was going to swing.
Well, Cervelli/Marte didn't get the message.
That's Girardi's fault.
