Let me tell ya something. When you see Mota in any game it's like saying "Here, I got a 7-9 game lead. Beat us with this scab pitching, because I'm not willing to use anybody good to win this game." Surely, anyone who bets on baseball (I don't bet single games) would have to be aware that Torre is not going all out to win some of these games. THAT GAME LAST NIGHT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. Mota is in there because we're willing to lose that game (in order to save the arms of our 3 best relievers.) The lefty that pitched before him is like our 4th best reliever. To bet this team, one would have to be fully aware of what pitching plan Torre has for that night. Everybody's got a hard-on to beat this team. So, 6 innings is usually gunna be about the most any of the starters can go without getting lit.
