I think it's interesting how they manage their pitchers....seems different than during the regular season.

Time will tell! Using starters as relievers....but I guess if your BP is less than stellar it's a strategy

Well, they're not using a fifth starter anyway. With all these off days, they won't need to.
Nice that he won’t go to waste.

So, if someone is EVER close enough to do anything about it,
I need you all to solemnly swear you’ll pick up a blunt object and strike Joe Buck and/or Tim McCarver repeatedly with it.
Hit Buck first because McCarver will stare at you doing it for the entire time and regale you with stories of some inane connection he’s made between your beating Joe Buck to death and the conversation he had with Yankees manager, Joe Girardi.

That's true.
But his home run call is SO much worse than anyone else. I’ll take Berman’s home run call every day for a month over one of Hawk’s.
Hell is Hawk Harrelson doing the home run derby.

Phil Hughes is the most overrated pitcher in mlb.
Total garbage. Gio Gonzalez is going to have a more meaningful career than him.
And yet it pads his postseason save totals.
No, there's no light,

No save.
Didn’t pitch “an inning with no more than a three-run lead,” nor was the tying run on deck when he entered.
NO SAVE FOR YOU!

Incorrect. Unless the tying run is at least on deck when you enter,
in a 3-run game you don’t get a save unless you pitch at least the last 1.0 IP.

in Joe Buck’s narration of the deluxe edition DVD of Yankeeness, the Yankees fell behind 43-0 in this game until Jeter hit 26 home runs and threw out 54 runners at home to seal the thrilling comeback victory.
Then, upon further reviewing the tape, they’ll discover a few A-Rod HRs they thought were foul.
