well, it was his throwing day anyways, so torre gave the bullpen a rest and used pettitte

it is standard for pitchers to throw, typically, on their 2nd day of rest

While it is standard for guys to have throw-days in between starts, it is obviously by no means standard for them to take the mound in games on those days.

It was an interesting move by Torre, to say the least.

well yeah, it's obviously not standard to do the throwing in a game

it's not such a terrible idea though

anyone remember mussina in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS? (granted - that's the playoffs and an entirely different situation, haha)

chien ming wang did this last year once or twice as well.

i don't know the rules with regard to assignments and callups, but the yankees should definitely get another arm out there in the bullpen somehow. can they send igawa to the minors and call him up 3 days later for his start? somehow i doubt this is allowed.

also thayer you know colter bean's PECOTA gives him a 5 ERA, right? i don't see who's worse than that in our bullpen right now.

Hughes starting on Thursday!


I didn't know his PECOTA is so high, but I'm still high on him(Bean)

[THAY3R]

PECOTA actually has his ERA at 4.5, which isn't good for a reliever, but still worth of being in the majors I think. I didn't realize his BB numbers were so bad, but he strikes people out a ton, and hardly ever gives up the long ball.

[Triumph36]

it could be just because players who start their MLB careers at 30 tend not to be any good - so even guys with excellent minor league numbers like Bean tend not to succeed.

[Huh?]

Yea, but he's put up good numbers in AAA since 2003, Yankees are just dumb.
