Why Does Joe Girardi Do That?
Joe Girardi's whole, "I will let the pitcher start the inning but if anything happens I will change my mind" always bothers me. If CC Sabathia was strong enough to start the ninth last night, he was strong enough to finish the ninth. If Pettitte was strong enough to pitch in the eighth, he is strong enough to keep pitching after a ball is lined up the middle. He's not necessarily wrong to go to the bullpen at that point, given that he's got some very good pitchers back there, but why not give them the luxury of starting the inning with the bases empty instead of bringing them into a stress situation?
