1) does he really believe he needs to tell Pettitte and Posada how to pitch Vlad? He stops the game, maybe takes Pettitte out his groove, maybe plants a seed in Pettitte's head, maybe gives Vlad some confidence because he's showing the Angel's flailing slugger so much respect, whatever it was, it was an epic failure. We know Vlad hits a two run homer after Girardi walks off the mound. His 1st home run in over a month
2) he may have been 1 of 17 people in the country that didn't know Scioscia was going to pitch out on an 0-1 count with Gardner on 1st base. The other 16 people never watch baseball.
3) why on earth would you take out your better right handed pitcher, Robertson, and put in your lesser right handed pitcher, Aceves, with two outs in the 11th? Robertson just threw 11 PITCHES and retired 2 batters. He was loose, warm, confident and effective. Why would you bring in a new untested pitcher in that spot? why? Why would you waste another arm when it was possible you might be involved in a long extra inning game? why? that move was so assinine on so many levels it's literally pathetic.
Good thing that bozo has lots of talent. This is a game a Torre team probably wins. He knew enough to let the players play and not over manage.
