Hang on, let me be sure I understand this.

I totally get why the forum disallows saying a player "stinks" (or worse).

But we're not even allowed to qualify it and say a guy stinks tonight?

Seems to me that's a fair comment to make.

Yanks's veterans hasn't done much with Wakefield for years now. (Hack. Hack. Hack.) How about giving someone else a try.

This is one of their better game, and they're not exactly blowing Wakefield away.

So it's Joe's fault Proctor is laying an egg???

Of course not. But why take out a guy who has thrown 5 shutout innings and only 73 pitches? At the very least, wait until he leaves someone on base. And as someone else mentioned, we might need our bullpen tomorrow when RJ pitches.

gold23
05-23-06, 08:01 PM
No, it is his fault that he pulled a guy who had 73 pitches, had just gone through Boston's heart of the order, and looked very good.

As we've said...let's all wait to hear if there is a reason. Common logic says that he at least started to tighten up a bit, so let's wait for the info before we start jumping on Torre.

If it turns out it was simply a decision to go to the pen, terrible move and we ALL will grill him for it. But I suspect that's not true.

Wright was at 73 pitches and 5 innings. Proctor should be sitting down watching the game and scratching himself in the bullpen right now.

Unless Wright is hurt, Joe made a completely stupid move. If Wright is fine, there is no possible way to defend that move. None, at all.

I'm afraid it's time to put my Joe Torre apologist cape on again....

It seems to me that none of us have the information that Torre does about Wright's physical condition, stamina, blah, blah, blah. Why not wait until you hear what he has to say before you burn him in effigy?

yanksphan

alright, i am not going to knock the T-Long/Melky decision, as long as Cabrera comes in when wakefield is done

I completely disagree. Long is better defensively than Melky, so why would you make that move with only 1 at-bat for Melky?
