mickeef2 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 ...I like the move by Francona to not bring in Papelbon for the 3rd game in a row, win or lose. That's too desperate a move for this early in the season, especially with his arm trouble last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeef2 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sweeeeeeeeet! What a job by Okajima, coming into his first Yankee-Sox game and saving it against the heart of the order in the 9th. And great call by Francona bringing in a guy who they've never seen before. I have to say that I have always laughed at the Yankee fans who criticize Torre all the time, but the one flaw I always saw in his managing is really starting to become glaring. Panic move bringing Mo into the game to get 5 outs with a 4 run lead on April 20. He is burning out his bullpen at an unbelievable rate. That 8th inning screamed for bringing in someone at the very back of their bullpen. Instead he brings in Myers and Vizcaino, who've now pitched in 10 games each already. And I don't want to jump the gun, but Mo looked way ordinary. Where was the cutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so-cal dub Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah. Clueless Joe... Product of a great staff(pre Stottlemyre). He's a really bad manager, and it shows now. :brooding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 not to take anything away from the sox, but torre didnt do that bad of a job tonight, hes done worse...bringing in vizcaino wasnt the smartest move...but WHY THE FUCK ISNT DOUG MANTOOTH GUARDING THE LINE WITH THE TYING RUNS ON BASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know. I usually defend Torre, but I thought he was awful tonight. They made an even better point on YES after the game- Why take Proctor out? You've already used him anyway, so why not let him start the 8th, even against a lefty in Ortiz? You're up 4 runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're up 4 runs. youre right...andbrian bruney is the best reliever on the team, why do you bring in vizcaino when h just got shelled yesterday......also, pinch running for giambi with a 4 run lead in the 8th inning on the road is retarded...you take away his bat if the bullpen blows the lead....looky what happened Mick, youre 100% right, torre fucked up...but he's done evn worse than what he did tonight. I never liked torre from day one, his horrible game management is fianlly being realized by the casual fan and I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
