greg775 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2014 -> 03:56 AM) Could be worse, but should be better. Ventura has no business being a MLB manager. Downs shouldn't ever ever face a righty again. Just save him for the one lefty you MUST get out late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 This is also going to be a 3:40 or so game with only nine runs scored. Yankees' baseball, nothing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees' baseball, nothing like it. More concessions revenues!!! And now we're leaving Petricka in when he's obviously lost his stuff. Sigh. No good options right now with this pen. I'm sure if he gives up more runs, we'll have wanted Webb, though. Or Guerra. Edited May 24, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Wow...this outcome wasn't completely predictable, Mr. Manager? All this game needs is Mike Hargrove hitting. Petricka doesn't have a good enough breaking ball to miss bats. Edited May 24, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is when you have a starter only go six and have to manage the final three innings, you have to have an old time set-up guy who can get you a full inning, lefty/rightymatchups be damned! Do we have anybody like that? Webb maybe. Choosing Downs was dumb because he sucks against righties. It's kind of early to be playing the one-batter thing.

Why not just go with Putnam, Webb and Belisario again? Putnam is effective against LHP anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Probably not going to be able to use Petricka now until next week. Now he's bringing in Daniel Webb, when he could/should have used him against Soriano? We're burning through our entire pen anyway at this rate.
