Example: The Sox come back on Sunday, so Tito leaves Matsuzaka in to face Arod. That was the right move. Arod gets a hit, so he is gone.
If Torre's pitchers had a 7-2 lead going into the 7th, its time to take him out. It's like Torre thinks his starters will spontaneously combust if they go into the 7th inning, even if they have a 264 run lead.
Torre burns his pen in games he WINS for no reason, and the bullpen is ineffective in games he LOSES. Coincidence? No freaking way.

Gom, likely one of your strongest posts and one of my biggest pet peeves about Torre. In one of the games vs Cleveland when we had a 9-2 lead, he brought in Proctor to reliever Igawa, who was at 92 pitches through 6. The same Proctor who needs to have a new arm attached by the AS break. He refuses to stretch out his starters.
