yeah Francisco would've caught that. Anyway, Manuel waits an inning too long before finally pulling Lee. I think he's trying to make sure Lee can't pitch out of the bullpen in Game 7.
are you serious man? its real easy to say pitching gaudin would have been a better option after burnett blew up.
If you'll notice, I said it before Burnett blew up, too. And now we have Pettitte on short rest at home (where he's much less effective), instead of of AJ on full rest at home (where he's much more effective). Not saying I'm happy about it, or that I was predicting that Burnett would suck this badly... but Burnett pitching poorly on the road on short rest doesn't exactly surprise me, and now they're in worse position for the rest of the series. *shrugs*
