Isn’t Moose supposed to be smart?

Via Peter Abraham comes this gem from my favorite Yankee starter:

“With my National League inexperience I didn’t think about who was on deck. I probably would have pitched a little differently had I thought about it.”

Not that the extra run mattered in the end, but everyone makes such a big deal about Moose being a smart baseball player and a cerebral pitcher. I think we can put that notion to rest right here. Situational pitching; it’s more than a good idea.
