Sooner or later the bottom line will be......just win. Forget about his pitch location, his velocity, his focus.... can he win a game? That's the only bottom line any Yankee fan cares about.
Rogers you dumb fuck, two out and give up three straight hits, Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess we will be waiting to see what Nova can deliver once he's able to get back. Not happy about CC but looking at deGrom and Harvey going for the Mets I'm not upset at a split.
Terrible outing by CC, disgusting. Gives up Duda's first HR vs a LH this season, gives up Campbell's first HR of the season and Pawlecki's first career HR. pee-yoo.....stinks. Too many lazy hanging breaking balls up in the zone AND he was AHEAD ON THE COUNT when he did it. Never mind how he feels and his velocity....the man is missing his spots and hanging too many lazy breaking balls. I don't think you have to be a young ace pitcher with a 95 heater to improve on the location. I said earlier, I'm giving him April and May before thinking about getting the shovel out of the shed. He's made four starts, I think you can say so far, two have been bad and two have been good. Last time I checked, he was still the only SP (A.L.) with a complete game. Yanks will make the eventual adjustment and he could probably, maybe moved to the the number 4 or 5 spot depending on how Warren and Eovaldi are doing. Let it play out.....Warren and Eovaldi are probably going to have a say in this matter. Lol. Don't jump of the ledge yet, let's take tomorrow's game and 2/3 from the Mutts. East does it....as of NOW, we're right in the middle of things in the last week of April. Long season.....looong season.
I think Nova will be fine but in the meantime we'll I guess have to put up with the big boy struggling every 5th day. I may even be happy to see Crapuano return. Meanwhile the World Champions with the best rotation in baseball and big boy Max are getting their asses kicked again.
A batting average is not the best performance indicator but seeing those posted by the Mets Players makes CCs crappy start even more deplorable, this ass is the highest paid with the least performance. He should be ashamed that Pineade, Eovaldi, and to a point Warren are kicking his ass.
So theoretically, if he or any other pitcher pitches consistently to a good ERA/WHIP/BAA and for some reason on the days he pitches, his team averages 2 or 3 runs a game and the pitcher LOSES more than he wins......his losing record is HIS fault? Not talking about CC's poor game today, but the job of a SP is to pitch well enough to give his team a chance to win......NO, I'm not talking about a performance like CC gave today. CC did manage to pitch 8 innings vs Detroit, gave up 2 runs and took the loss. Your move. lol
Have you been watching the same games that the rest of us have? I think you're the ONLY one that can say that, ONE (1) has been good & THREE (3) have been bad. He's given up at least 4 runs in 3 of his 4 starts & had the Yankees playing catch up in 3 of his 4 starts. Please be serious.
...and? ...what about the majority of his starts over the last 2 years?...but you decide to take one anomalous start vs Detroit and see it as a positive sign?
Okay Rick.....his first start went 5.2 IP with 4 ER....not good. Yanks scored THREE runs and lost. His 2nd start at Baltimore he pitched 7 innings gave up 4 ER, Yanks didn't score until the 6th inning and HE lost 4-3. His 3rd start at Detroit he pitched 8 innings gave up 2 runs, HE lost 2-1. Today was a terrible game...oh, by the way the Yanks scored two runs. What the hell are you talking about? "Falling behind".... Since when is it the end of the world if your team falls behind by a 2 or 3 runs early in the game.? Smarten up.....a lineup is obligated to score (avg) at least 4-5 runs a game. Obviously CC sucked today...but you have to stop acting like a hysterical little girl. CC is NOT expected to be a top of the rotation guy and it remains early and undetermined yet if he will/can be an effective #3....maybe a # 4 if need be. CC sucked today,..obviously..... .....Yanks have been scoring runs this year...not to make excuses for CC but they haven't scored more than 3 runs in any game he's started, so stop overreacting and show your age, not your shoe size.
...because a team's odds of winning a game drop exponentially once they fall behind...does this really need explaining?
What are the odds of a team winning when they score at least 4-5 runs a game? Just curious, do they exponentially increase? And how does THIS affect a team's chances of winning (from post 36): "but they haven't scored more than 3 runs in any game he's started,"
Like I said Einstein ONE good start. Or are you thinking giving up 4 runs in 7 innings (I'll let you figure out that ERA) is considered a good start. And I guess judging by your humorous response that its also okay for a team to HAVE TO come back from 3-0, 4-0 & 7-1 deficits. You're doing it again Bob, Removing all doubt. And to think, for a few days there you were doing so well.
