I'm a lifelong Yankees fan, and love Torre, but sometimes he makes such baffling decisions.
For those who weren't following the game tonight, Chien-Ming Wang pitched brilliantly, including achieving a career-high 10 K's. He let up a run in the 9th inning to make it 8-2 Yankees, but then got a double-play to clear the bases. So it's the 9th inning, 2 outs, and nobody on. He just needs one out for a complete game, and yet Torre someone yanks him. Wang threw 113 pitches, so if it was the matter of pitch count, he probably would have been taken out before that point, besideswhich, what's 3-10 more pitches?
I just don't understand the decision. He deserved the complete game. Does someone care to rationalize the decision?
