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

No no. Two guys in a row have to stare at strike 3.

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 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!

Just a third.

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.

My god!

The best lineup money can buy were DOWN 3-0 in the 4th, Joe Buck?!

What an amazing comeback!

Let’s put in on ESPN Classic RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

yawn

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.

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

Yes, thank god, because I had no idea that Favre was going back to Green Bay....

And that was a very awkward exchange between Buck and McCarver at the end…
