i would bet that cash was asked for input here and they didn't want thier pitcher not to have his guy behind the plate in game 2
And if it goes to game 5 and Burnett is pitching, what do you do then?

Matsui has been so good, that it's tough benching him at all during the series. I personally think that Girardi should tell Burnett to man up, be quiet and pitch to Posada.

if joe had not been a catcher similar to molina ......bobby v would tell him what you say but that catcher's perspective plays out here

It's a mistake to take Posada's bat out of the lineup.

Like the Yankees need any more bats? Pitching wins in the postseason...period. The numbers don't lie in this case and Im sure Girardi and Burnett had more than one conversation about this before it was decided.

Yeah, this is the most overrated story of the postseason. Posada will still be available to pinch hit and come in to catch once Burnett is out of the game. Plus a couple games off can only help a 38 year old catcher. Didn't the Braves always take Javy Lopez out of the lineup when Maddux pitched? And they had a lot less bats in their lineup than the Yankees.

Oh, it's done (they have to use Molina.)
