I am very comfortable being in the latter. Some asked Joe if he is managing differently because of the lead and he said he was trying to win. That's very, very scary. Girardi is an anchor weighing down this team's chances.

I can sympathize with being a slave to statistics, but if you think variables don't enter into the equation, then maybe you need to look more deeply.

They also "might score eight runs". So, there are no mop-up situations at all. Every situation is high leverage. Mo should pitch every game. [468] “Might score two runs.”

I don't support him throwing in the white flag under any circumstances. If it were up to me, Bruney would be in Scranton, as would Albaladejo. But, right, in a playoff game, you should be less concerned about saving better relievers. I think you should still worry about it (since a crucial situation might come up tomorrow), but less so.
