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)

Obviously, playoffs there is "no tomorrow". On April 20th there are 145 more games and 6 more months of baseball to play.

It just smacks of desperation. I'm no Torre lover, but I'm not a Torre basher either. That said, I might give another manager the benefit of the doubt and might view it as an unconventional yet progressive move. However, with all that is said about Torre's horrendous handling of pitchers and his bullpen -- most of that coming from Yankee fans -- I just can't give him the same benefit here.

WANG CHIEN MING COMING BACK TODAY!!!!!!

[Karak567]

I was going to make a post earlier, talking about how happy I was to have the whole Yankee lineup back and healthy. I never got around to it... I probably would have been accused of being a jinxer.

Jeter out of the game in the first inning, hit in the knee area with a pitch. He was down for quite a while too. GREAT [censored] LUCK

damnit this injury stuff pisses me off

[Karak567]

wang gives up ONE hard hit ball and torre lifts him after only 81 pitches...

why?!?!

on top of that he starts making defensive substitutions in the SEVENTH inning with a one run lead

WTF

[bisonbison]

I'm sure vizcaino appreciates owning that runner on first.

[Triumph36]

god i hate mike myers, i hate the fact the yankees have him, and i hate the fact that torre uses him. he gave up a big home run to ortiz last year, and now one to crawford.
