HIGH AND TIGHT
So now Brian Cashman, in an effort to deflect attention on his comments regarding the Mets and their use of Pedro Feliciano, has directed that fire at Joe Torre, specifically naming relievers Scott Proctor and Ron Villone as Torre victims.
I was lucky enough to sit in the primo "Giuliani" seats once, and I remember Ron Villone walking off the field looking completely gassed. You could see it in his face. In addition, the GM stated that he personally tried to intervene on Proctor's behalf, as it was Torre's habit to ask the pitcher if he could go, as if he would decline.
Based on the story related by David Wells and Game 5 of the 2003 World Series, it seems that it doesn't even matter if the pitched did say he couldn't go.
I'll bet he could confirm my theory on "The Joba Rules".
