... Why was Al Leiter pitching in the eighth inning?
I know your team would have probably lost, anyway, but unless you're a fortune teller, you couldn't have known that. While you can't guarantee victory every game, I think you have an obligation to the fans who stay up until 1:00 in the morning to at least try to optimize your team's chances to win. Don't worry about Friday's game, worry about today's game.
All season long, you've saved Gordon and Rivera for the playoffs. Guess what? Now it's the playoffs! Guess what? New strategy!
But I digress. That follow up question had nothing to do with Robinson Cano. Let me try again.
Are you concerned with Cano's poor defensive play at second base, a season-long problem which you've seemingly ignored until people started noticing because it's the first round of the playoffs?:
"There's a certain style that players play with, and he certainly is reminded when he is nonchalant or maybe a style that doesn't fit what we're doing. But I think a lot of that, too, also comes from the lack of knowledge or remembering who was running....I don't know if it's as much nonchalance as much as not paying as much attention as he should."
First of all, nonchalant is the Yankee style for the entire season. Nonchalant is the Yankee style for the entire decade. Nonchalant fits what you're doing. Nonchalant is the Torre Way.
Secondly, what is more nonchalant than not paying attention?
Third, were you angry when Willie Randolph didn't toast your pastrami sub in that commercial? Since you're talking gibberish about baseball, I thought I'd change the subject.
