Saunders against Andy Pettitte, should be interesting, both pitch pretty well.
I would be scared to see Oliver and Fuentes on the mound, especially Oliver. I hope we bring Weaver, Jespen, Santana then Fuentes (Fuentes only if we have 2 point lead) to close out the game. Unfortunately we do not have any solution to Mariano Rivera in this series as he basically owned us.
It would be nice if we could go to game 7 to set up a decisive game between 2 aces, CC Sabathia and John Lackey (on short rest). Again we should let Weaver pitch 2-3 innings, could even bring Saunders to pitch 1 more inning if necessary. I would never want to see Kazmir again, never.
BTW, it is not fair to blame Girardi for keeping Burnett there through 7th inning, as he was pitching pretty well till then. Maybe Girardi should have taken a huge gamble and let CC. Sabathia pitch the 7th and 8th inning then let Rivera to close it out in 9th inning, after the 6-4 lead. I would have to agree that Mike Scioscia deserves tons of blames for his disastrous move by pulling John Lackey.
BTW your bullpen really sucks as well. |
