greg775 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Oz gets no credit for this win? He managed very very well in a game the offense stunk again. By the way, yes the Yankees bunted in the ninth inning as Oz also woulda done. People think Oz is so different. It called for a bunt so NY bunted.

No, they really don't. I have a feeling Girardi looked at Granderson's career numbers against Thornton, and decided to bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got credit up until 1) the pierre SB attempt in the 9th and 2) taking out floyd after jeter's hit. Both ridiculous. I was there again tonight - those catches... lemme tell you guys. I know you saw them on TV, but live it was even better. Those Yankee fans dejection was so, so sweet. Brent - f***ing - Lillibridge. Single handedly responsible for the win!

Then why it is written in the manager's book, 'play to tie at home and win on the road.' teams bunt in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been replacing Quentin with Lilli on the basepaths late in games for most of the year now. It's the only reason Lillibridge has a roster spot. I'm sure part of the reason he uses him for Quentin is because he also serves as a better defensive replacement. Ozzie deserves credit because he is willing to put Lillibridge out there in close games even when Quentin might have gotten another PA. This time it paid off. Another time it won't. I'm just happy we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
