Hope Joba had a good nap in the bullpen while some guy who should be with the Columbus Clippers turned a 2-0 game into a 4-0 game. Wonder what the bottom of
the 9th would've looked like if Chamberlain could've shut them down in the 8th and 9th, like he's paid to do and kept it 2-0? Maybe Lidge
would've had to come in, maybe he would've coughed up the game. Well a World Series boxscore doesn't look to good with a 2 run 8th and 9th inning
and the names Robertson and Bruney in it.

Hughes had a good season, and deserved the chance. Chamberlain, in the post season, had been no better. Rivera can't pitch the 8th and 9th of every game.

I agree, it was a good call with Hughes, but after he failed and Marte did his job, it just seemed like Joba's spot. Be darned if I let a Series game get
out of hand with David Robertson. Why all the press for Joba if he's not the guy? He seems to get more of it than anyone on the staff. If Girardi has no
confidence in him, THAT I understand, but if he's saving him for something, THAT I don't.

Yanks would pull him from rotation for extended rest, somehow, they are VERY concerned w/ his arm and increasuing innings/workload to much/too fast/too soon,
these guys get babied! I STILL like Ryan's work w/ Rangers org getting pitchers to stay as healthy by throwing more, maybe we could - in our lifetimes see
the end of 12-13 man staffs say, back to 11pitchers and add some offensive strategy w/ a full bench again??

I get the sense things are slowly coming back around. Alot of fans, owners and gm's are sick of seeing games torched by middle relievers and setup guys.
After those 3 games in a row that Hillman (KC) lost at home to Tampa by refusing to bring in Soria, I noticed he had a few saves of 4 outs or more.
We won't see the days of 20+ complete games anymore from the workhorses, but I do think we'll get back to the 10 cg mark for most good starters and the top closers being asked to get more than 3 outs on a regular basis. That's how it 'should' be. |

I agree, one of the things that I like is how the Yankees, under both Torre and Girardi, haven't been scared to use Rivera for more than 2-3 outs in a
playoff game.
