Yankees have a big lead. That may help him. And the crowd is pretty much silent (I though CBP was really loud and devoted). He can just go out and use his stuff.

I'd rather not use Mo today

it’s not a save situation right now. If Hughes pitches a scoreless inning, then how about letting Robertson, Bruney, Aceves, or Coke to start the ninth? They should be able to hold a 4 run lead, don’t you think?

Assuming we keep at least a four run lead, will Mo pitch the 9th?

Can’t hit the Phils to retaliate for the HBPs, but you can hit the ump to retaliate for his lousy strike zone.

As far as I can tell, Carlos Ruiz is a pain in the postseason. He’s done that to the Dodgers, the Rays, and now the Yankees.

Don't worry about it

still a 3 run Game. Throwing it down the middle and giving up a HR is better than walking everyone you face.

I don’t blame him, if hughes gives up another, we go all over him.

4-3 Phillies. It’s always a one run win for the home team. That’s how the math of baseball plays out (batting last).

Don’t know if I agree with this…3 runs is still a BIG cushion, and we don’t know if we’ll need Mo for 2 tomorrow.

Shows no confidence in your bullpen. Hughes should get one more batter.

just no confidence in hughes

he like joba in, and marte to work more than an out and to a righty. Hughes just isn;t cutting now, and we have given him tons of chances but he isn’t delivering

i don't like this move

this will destroy any confidence Hughes still has. Does he think that he can’t get 2 more outs before giving up 3 runs?

And now Mo has to be used again.

by nyyrocks29 on Nov 1, 2009 12:39 AM EDT reply actions  

I would've

given Phil at least 1 more batter. If someone gets on, then pull him.

I got no problem with """'taking no chances"""....

cuz uh…Mo hasn’t pitched since Thusday.

He should be able to get 2 outs without killing himself.
