If you cant get 6 out of your ace it really doesnt matter.
if they lose this game they will not recover, and we'll see another sweep. Good goin, Ron
If you cant get 6 out of your ace it really doesnt matter.
The bottom of the 6th is more than likely Sabathia's last inning as well with that pitch count (in the 90's i think right now)...
EDIT: wtf is up with the camera guy, he made Young's hit look like it was out of the stadium
These announcer are painfully slow.....
"He made the catch! Oh wait he dropped it!" after the balls been rolling around for like 10 seconds
"and the Yankees have tied it up....actually they have the lead."
btw Girardi making the same mistake as gardenhire right now
I guess we can say the same about Girardi now?
how not to manage a baseball game, co-written by the 2 G's
What don't you get? The point is just b/c you're ace is out there it doesn't mean you're guaranteed a great/solid outing. happens, it's the manager's job to see when the wheels are about to fall off. Both managers horribly mismanaged the 6th with pitchers that were CLEARLY showing signs of fatigue
I'm saying if you cant get 6 out of your ace it really doesnt matter, more often than not you lose.
lol Twins shooting their load to early
also I can do without the closeup of Girardis nose hairs every time a yankee hits a ball.
Teixiera crushed that...
I would have left him in too. Granderson is notoriously bad against lefties and it's no different against Liriano. Needed one more out from the ace. I don't think it was a bad decision to leave him in. It just didn't work out for the Twins.
He should've been lifted after the Cano RBI single imo...His pitch count was in the 90's and he was showing classic signs of fatigue at that point (hanging breaking balls, walk, etc).
He struck out Thames on three pitches after Cano's hit. And I can't remember exactly, but I think Posada just gave a really tough at-bat and got ahead in the count before getting his hit. Liriano did show some signs of fatigue, but like I said, Granderson is horribly bad against lefties. He was hitting something like .180 against Liriano in quite a few at-bats since he saw him more when he was in Detroit. Gardenhire was trusting that his ace could get that one last out to get through 6 innings. I don't think it was that bad a decision. Sometimes you just have to live and die with your ace.
tie game! I wish the Twins wouldn't blast that gay-ass Prince everytime someone scores. I know he's from Minny but come on...
Wow, back-2-back games where a guy gets a questionable call, and then ends up scoring on the next pitch.
yeah, Pavano got jew'd on that pitch
