Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
Torre thinks that you should use your closer in a tie game at home but not on the road because you can get a save situaion on the road. Why managers think this way I'll never know. If it's tied and you're on the road in extra innings, there is no margin for error. Isn't that when you want your best reliever pitching? Sometimes you end up scoring more than 1 run in the top half of the inning anyway, so the save isn't as difficult. So stupid. It basically cost the Yankees the 2003 World Series when Joe had Jeff [censored] Weaver pitching instead of Rivera.
