The reason to hold him out of today's game had nothing to do with his performance in non-save situations. The reason today was that the team ace still had about 30 bullets in his gun and he was strong (hit 97 in the8th). He was throwing very well. There was no reason to go to Mo unless the game went to extra innings. If Mo had pitched a scoreless 9th and the Yankees didn't score in the 9th, Genius Girardi would have had to whip Mo for a second inning or go to the pen of horrors. Sorry, this was a bad move. Maybe Sabbathia can shoot his last 30 bullets in the clubhouse.
