At some point somebody is going to have to explain to me why Joba was in the game against 2 dangerous lefties last night in the 8th inning, especially one, Morales, who completely owns him (4-6 w/ a HR career before last night). I understand he is now the official setup man for Mo, but Joe's got 2 lefties in the 'pen out there and so far Joba and Mo have been the 2 guys with the most appearances so far this season. Why not use Marte for the 8th and then maybe Joba for the 9th?
2-game losing streak? No problem. The stopper, Andrew Eugene Pettitte is on the hill today. It's all good.
