Well, it took over a year for a CC win. Imagine, it's been 13 months since the Yankees got a W from this guy. I guess the "jury" will be in deliberation for a while. lol
Rick, he pitched 7 innings allowed 3 ER on 6 H with 9 Ks. Can we agree he gave us a "good start" to begin the road trip? Or at least a "pretty good" start? Unless the team is firmly entrenched into being a LOW scoring team....the above pitching line is quite acceptable ( imo ) alot of the time from the #3,4 or 5 SP. Sure, of course I want to see a couple/ few games where "they" allow less than 3 or 2 runs over 7 or more innings. I know CC has already been written off by many, but as we speak, he's just pitched a pretty good game.....some may even call it a GOOD game.
...you were the one who decided to bring up Porcello....why did you compare his ERA to Boston's "ace" whose ERA is still 3/4 of a run lower than CC's?. ..kinda dumb on your part. ...after I referenced Boston's team ERA you decided to cherry pick once again by showing only their four worst starters in an attempt to make CC's 5.2 ERA somehow look good...also dumb on your part. ...And yeah, "4 runs in 7 innings" is OK, (acceptable) remember? .
1 decent start (if you want to call it that, a bit over-hyped of a term for CC's win)...... We will know if CC is learning how to pitch with finesse over months to come. 1 game; 1 Win, 5 Losses; doth not make for an Ace....... Had it not of been for 4 HR's and double digit runs, CC would of lost this one too.....
As "wins" for CC are at issue this season, the Yanks are averaging 3.43 runs per start for him in his 7 starts. Nope, I'm not saying he's having a "good year" so far....but there ARE pitchers with more than one "win" who have a comparable ERA to CC.
Hold on a minute.....are you saying 7 IP, 6 H , 3 ER with 9 Ks is not a good outing? And, as far as ridiculing him for having only one win, the Yanks are averaging 3.43 runs per game for him when he starts. Oh, incidentally, I have never described or called CC an "ace" in his comeback from last year's knee surgery..... The best I was hoping for, and believing BEFORE the season and ST began was for him to be a solid # 3 SP as the season progressed....and I even went as far as to give him at least the first two months of the season before I began "to think about getting the shovel out of the shed" ◀ quote So, all of a sudden we need CC to "avg" 7-8 IP per start allowing less than 3 runs or else he's a bad middle of the rotation SP? If that's your opinion, I'll respect it.
Now here we have a poster, who appeared to be fairly intelligent, saying CC has had ONE DECENT start and also feels as if somebody has called, AND expected CC to be an "ace". Not sure what to think.....but it's safe to say idiots, ignoramuses, and ignorant people who choose to confuse facts with with their own dream world come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and stations in life.
Lmao.....I "cherry picked" by only pointing out Boston's FOUR worst SP.....lol....you're beautiful...... What was I supposed to do, "point out".... their other FOUR SPs? Lmao....please stop...my side is hurting from laughing so much. And yes....I mentioned their "ace" Porcello with his 4.50 ERA.... Having an "ACE" with a current 4.50 ERA compared to the Yanks' #3 starter with a 5.16 ERA puts it ALL into it's proper perspective when comparing a team (REDSOX) who were picked by most to win more games than the Yanks.....weren't YOU one of those? Lmaooooooooooooooooo
It's not surprising that Boston's starting pitching is bad. It's that nobody expected them to be this bad over the first fifth of the season.
