Torre on Lee

Joe Torre talks about what made Cliff Lee effective Sunday night:

Asked what he thought of Lee’s performance, Dodgers manager Joe Torre said, “What I always think of Cliff Lee. He’s pretty damn special. Again, he attacks the strike zone and works fast. He comes at you quick, and I think that startles the hitters because they’re not ready to hit. He not only throws strikes, but he does with different speeds.”

So why didn’t the Dodgers do more to try to upset Lee’s rhythm? I didn’t see a lot of Dodgers getting dust in their eyes or having to adjust batting gloves.
