*** ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Indians (Pettite/Carmona)

lol Damon out.

LOL@Damon getting pulled for throwing like a girl.

HAHAHA! Replacing Damon's arm is a good move, but it just cracks me up that we just saw a guy get pinch-armed.

Sac bunt is 100% the right play. You trade an out for a significant increase in ways to win (sac fly, single scores the run 100% of the time, walk, HBP).

[Kos13]

Also, shouldn't they be replacing Damon with Cairo so they can use five infielders? I don't think anyone is throwing Lofton out at home.

[kyleb]

They might tag on short fly balls.

[ajmargarine]

Pincharm

hahahahahahahahahaha

Question - is there a rule that all the fielders must be in the field of play when the ball is pitched? One of the announcers brought up the fact that if Viz threw a wild pitch during the IBB, Lofton would come home - why wouldn't the Yankees put a player behind the catcher to prevent this very unlikely scenario?

Remind me to check the math after the game. I don't think it's as big of a slam dunk as you're saying.

[SL__72]

Because its very unlikely?
