Seriously, Mo better not start the 9th if it's tied.

The pen needs to hold on.
We haven't had a walkoff win yet this year... would be really sweet tonight.

I'm in between here...bottom of their lineup, though some good hitters down there. I won't question either decision on this, though I'd stay with Farnsworth and then give Mo 2...

A walkoff tonight would be an emotional scene.....Originally Posted by Nick
My guess is he is 3-4 with a walk. Unless the bunt he got down was called a hit... But I would have thought that would be an error by the catcher.Originally Posted by CoyoteYankee

Mo is in?? What happened to Farnsy???

So you agree with taking Villone out after 1 pitch and putting in Proctor (8 innings in 10 days)Originally Posted by WebsterMulligan
Torre is hoping this will be a 9 inning game.
we don't have any good arms left for a 10th

Mo is in.. I think this is a bad decision since we are not leading...
Agreed...we're at home, it's the 9th.Originally Posted by JeffWeaverFan

Villone needed to pitch to more than one batter tonight. There was no reason to throw Proctor out there.Originally Posted by WebsterMulligan

why not let Kyle start the 9th .

Yes. The difference is that I don't think he should have been available tonight. Well, I don't think he should have been available last night and then maybe he could have been used tonight.Originally Posted by WebsterMulligan

Yes I can ... this game could remain tied for a while and he just took out a pitcher who'd thrown 9 pitches and was slated to face the bottom of the lineup. Bad move, even if it does work out.Originally Posted by JeffWeaverFan

The standard rule is that you put your closer in the bottom of the 9th of a tied game since there will never be a save situation. I don't mind it although this time I'd like to have seen Farnsworth.Originally Posted by iWant27

It looks like they are getting ready to play blow hopscotch
Or Farnsworth gives up a run (or two) and we only have one crack at it.Originally Posted by sweet_lou_14
Go with your best in the 9th at home.

Ugh.....rrrr
Damn it..
another broken bat single on mo, great.
why the hell can proctor throw 2 innings every day but farnsworth can't throw more than 9 pitches a week.
what does torre plan to do if this game goes into extra innings, stretch myers for 3-4 innings?
I don't like this version of Mo
he isn't very good

Erickson used to be a starterOriginally Posted by JamieMadrox
Every manager brings in their closer in this situation. Usually I always want Mo in here. Hopefully it works out.Originally Posted by sweet_lou_14

he only pitched like 9 pitches ...he could have easily pitched another 20 pitches .....Originally Posted by JeffWeaverFan

How to beat Mo:
1. get leadoff man on
2. pinch run
3. wait for win
Joe`s problem is that he doesn`t have a direct line to the NYY.Fans Game thread to get our decisions.We`d never make the wrong move.
That's not the point. The point is you go with your closer/best pitcher in this situation because if you give up a run then you have to face their best pitcher needing to get a run.Originally Posted by iWant27
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
Erickson comes in, Lisa Guerrero distracts the batter, should work for a few innings if we get that far.Originally Posted by Jace

Maybe Joe knows something we don't? Nah, that can't be it.....Originally Posted by JamieMadrox
