Right..because he should have known that the guy on his roster who gets paid to do one thing and one thing only (get lefties out) was going to give up a decisive HR...to a lefty.

He walks baldelli to try to get a DP with Vizcaino who sucks and has a .60 G/F when Wang should've just stayed in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best option between Wang and that awful bullpen was Wang, period.But Padre Joe, leading all-time with pitching changes to this point, cannot help himself. Sadi bullpen is ragged exactly because Torre refuses to let starters work out of trouble nor go much past 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yesterday I said the Yanks bullpen had been abysmal. I would like to change that statement. The Yanks bullpen right now is pathetic. The last game against Cleveland, the three against Boston and two against Tampa Bay the bullpen is 0-6 is shutting the door. Only Arod game winner against Cleveland has kept it from being worse.

If the bullpen keeps blowing games like this then he might have to extend his starters which in my mind would not be a bad thing considering the way he has abused the bullpen the last couple of seasons. I can't blame him though for pulling Wang last night. He gave you 6+ in his first start back from injury. I would not have pushed it first time out either. Pulling Pettite early on Friday I had a big problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I just want to know if Wang was on a pitch count. It seems that way, as he was not struggling with his command, yet was pulled around the 80 pitch mark. So before we blast Torre, we should find out about this. And Torre bringing in Myers to face Crawfors was the correct move. It worked on Monday. And the pitch before, Crawford was frozen on a breaking pitch. Myers just put the next on right over the plate, not outside enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was on a pitch count, then he gets pulled, no matter if it's the 3rd inning, or the 7th inning. That is the way things are these days. All teams follow this practice with their returnees from the DL, to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All teams follow this practice with their returnees from the DL, to some extent. Janks fans should know the plan was to pitch Wang 5 innings, he gave you 6 and you blame torre!!!!! If wang gets hurt and goes DL for rest of year, you would all be crucifying Torre. Your bullpen blows, deal with it,, tock...tock..tock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 OT the Rays have themselves a nice closer in Al Reyes. 3rd time he has closed out the vaunted Yankee line-up in 3 weeks and ARod is the only player who has touched him up all season. Nice story coming back from two TJ surgeries. Al Reyes > Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Farnsworth and Vizcaino suck badly. I think the Yanks should trade/release them and bring up some Columbus pitchers..I think they would have more success. Interesting note in ESPN...if the Yanks did not have A-rod they would be 4-15 right now. That is a scary proposition. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the pen is pitching badly is because TORRE pulls every starter earlier than he should and that puts tremendous pressure on the bullpen and it's all on torre.

Wang was on a pitch count last night, that is why they pulled him. When you ste a pitch count, normally you follow it. Why would it be the pen's fault that Torre decides to go to them. They share no blame in not getting teh job done. They are there for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you know with absolute certainty that Wang was not tired, and that 5 pitches would be all that was needed to finsih teh next batter, if he even got him out? There are a lot of assumptions there that you can not jump to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought in Vizcaino to intentionally walk a guy, and get the next hitter, which he did. Not to get a DP, although that would have been nuice if it happened. Then he brought in Myers to get 1 guy, which he did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of assumptions there that you can not jump to. If you were watching the game, you would have noticed that the single and double Wang gave up in the 7th were pitches up in the zone. That tells me he was running out of gas, as he almost always leaves his stuff down. Maybe he could have gone another batter or 2, maybe not. But if he was on a pitch count, and today's NY Post has an article that indicates he was (an 80 pitch limit), then Torre made the right call in the 7th. It just didn't work out.
