My head can't comprehend a Yankees manager making such a good strategic move. 12 years of Torre made me just think IPK was hurt.
Same exact situation here. I was stunned when they started explaining it. Cone said he can't recall ever seeing something like this done. Me either. Joe Girardi may have been the best hire since Billy Martin.
Believe it or not, Torre did the same thing last week, with Billingsley (he's on my fantasy team, that's how I know). Of course, he screwed it up, since it started to rain again, and Billingsley came out again.
That would suck if the game was called in this inning. Oh wait... do they need to play the whole thing now? What was the rule change?
