    ...I've seen a few pitchers shaking off McCann, and it cost them. It was ultimately Tanaka's dicision on which pitch to throw and why he wanted to throw a FB in that situation is beyond me...like you said, he made Napoli look very bad earlier on at least 2 ocassions with the splitter which is the pitch he should have thrown.
    ...I suppose McCann could have called time out, got an interpreter, and told Tanaka in Japanese, "Throw the fucking splitter or I'll kick your ass". :lol:

    McCann I'm sure told him that he just arrogantly learned a very good lesson about major league hitters.

    Holy shit has simple comprehension become an epidemic? I agree with 95% of what you've said here regarding what happened in the game & I have very clearly stated that. Several fucking times. Tanaka threw a DUMB pitch & the offense sucked. I watched the game too. And if you bothered reading the other responses in this thread I am not the ONLY one who thinks Girardi should have walked Napoli in favor of a 125 mother fucking hitter. A practice that has been used throughout baseball for over a century. Why this simple part of the game is so difficult for you two to grasp is a mystery & I'm sure not just to me.

    But you know what, fuck it. this thread has been milked to death enough. Lets agree to disagree & move on to today's game

    And btw: NEWSFLASH! part of human nature IS having human flaws. GO YANKEES!

    Plain and simple Napoli is not Babe Ruth. You don't give a team a free base runner with two outs and nobody on in the ninth inning of a tie game.

    Yeah, I guess you give it to him when there's NOBODY out so the the next batter can put him in scoring position. C'mon man THINK!

    Or you give him the base for free and they send in a pinch runner who goes on to steal second.
