mbn007 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you're loading the bases it IS to get a DP. If he strikes out the batter, Torre will have no complaints. Loading the bases is to set up the DP, in addition to setting up a force at any base, so a slow roller back to the mound becomes a force at the plate. But any kind of out that prevents a run from scoring is gladly welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 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. No he DID NOT. He was playing for the DP by walking Baldelli. And he brings in a pitcher with a .60 GF to get that DP which is insane by itself. If he was going to go to the pen he should've brought in Burney and played for the K. Thinking vizciano could get a DP overworked and ineffective as he is, shows what a horrible manager he is.

AFJF Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yet clueless joe CONTINUES to pull starters early and rely on this bullpen that has been nothing but HORRIBLE all year. Okay...the season is 19 games old. You're saying that a bullpen has been "nothing but HORRIBLE all year" In their first 11 games of the season (which at this point is more than half of the games played) the Yankee bullpen had a collective ERA of 2.42 and if you take out the 3 run homer that Mo gave up it's 1.91. So now a bullpen with a collective ERA of 1.91 is HORRIBLE? In EIGHT of those games the bullpen allowed 2 ER or less. Please explain how this is HORRIBLE.

Now it's not possible to prove an opinion right or wrong Mike. I know you love to rip people all the time and tell them how stupid they are becuase their opinions are different than yours. I dont do that. If you think Torre is terrible then I'm fine with that. If you're going to make grossly innacurate statements that can be proven wrong with facts then I'm going to point it out. It's bad when you're trying to make a point and in making that point you use completely false or innacurate statements to make that point. Oh, and of course I can always say that Joe Torre was managing the Yankees 'pen when they won four rings and he was the one that came up with what many consider to be the most lethal 1-2 combo of all time using Mo and Wettland back to back.

And you can throw Cashman's awful record of signing bullpen pitchers in with that too. Mike, you can't PROVE that a bullpen has been mismanaged or not, all you can do is speculate, It is entirely within teh realm of possibility that if Torre had a direct connection to you, and asked your opinion on every move, that those moves could have backfired too. Again, as AFJ told you, it is impossible to prove a subjective opinion. I know you hate to hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
