Get A Long Guy!!
Bad luck and bad planning contributed to this debacle of a fourth inning tonight. The bad luck was the rain, forcing the Yankees to pull Hughes after two innings. You can't do anything about that and you can't question the decision to pull him, you don't mess around with franchise pitchers.
But, Brian Bruney was seen by multiple reporters wearing a knee-length boot in the clubhouse today and went for a MRI at some point Thursday. He is going to NY to see a specialist tomorrow. Why would the Yankees mess around with that and not put him on the DL to get another pitcher up to help out the pen? Or, would this have been a smart time to DFA Chad Moeller for another reliever? (I am nodding yes as I type that)
This game is far from over in the fifth, but I don't understand the thinking here.

Yep, I agree. I would have pulled Hughes after the delay as well.
Kyle may have an elbow problem - in addition to Bruney's foot problems. We may be seeing more than one new face coming in from Scranton tonight. Perhaps Rasner and Ramirez?
