blame torre for overextending randy
Joe Torre was selfish in pushing Randy Johnson to throw over 100 pitches in the Yankees' 7-2 victory over the Angels. Six shutout innings apparently weren't enough. Randy's small triumph wasn't enough.
I was so mad when I saw the game tied up, 2-2, with Randy still on the mound. This was an important game, with a margin for error too small. You can't treat Randy like an experienced ace anymore. You have to treat him like a risk-prone kid who gets shaky after 85 deliveries.
Randy should have come out after six innings. It would have given Posada a break too: Jorge doesn't like catching Randy's pitches any more than Randy likes throwing them to Posada.
