LHP - C.C. Sabathia, (3-8 5.59 ERA) VS. LHP - Scott Kazmir, (5-5 2.56 ERA) C.C. Sabathia BY THE NUMBERS...... 5.59 = ERA this season, nearly 2 runs higher than his career average of 3.69 94 = MLB rank in ERA among the 97 pitchers who qualify. 19 = Home runs allowed, 4th most in MLB. 5.06 = Cumulative ERA over his past 3 seasons with the Yankees (56 starts). 3.22 = Cumulative ERA over his first 4 seasons with the Yankees (129 starts) Tonight's lineup..... CF - Ellsbury LF - Gardner DH - Rodriquez 1B - Teixeira RF - Young C - Murphy SS - Gregorius 2B - Pirela 3B - Petit
I can't wait for him to be done... I still stand by my statement from the offseason that he will never pitch a meaningful game again... Another Cashman failure...
Girardi, team mates and fans deserve better than seeing him out there every 5th day. I'm wondering where the order to let him "earn his salary" originates.

If a miracle happens and he wins tonight, the Yanks may have their biggest 1st place lead since June 9 at the end of the day. Jeez, I'm kooky. Lmao
All kidding aside, imo, if we really want the team to benefit for the remainder of the season- let's hope CC gets demolished and knocked out of the game VERY early... Maybe then, perhaps, this will be the beginning of the end for CC in the rotation as the Yanks are finally shamed into making the correction/adjustment over the All Star break.
Joe pulled Eovaldi in the 6th inning last night with 2 outs in the 6th & nobody on after throwing only 85 pitches, and allowing only 2 runs. I'll be real curious to see how much rope he gives Sabathia tonight.
Yep, GJG....doesn't hesitate to show tough love unless it's an older player with a PAST track record, PAST their prime and struggling. CC, Drew, Beltran (especially earlier in the season). It's been overdue for GJG to clear his throat and send a loud message or two to Beltran, Drew and CC. If Beltran is feeling his age with his body breaking down and not lighting up the stat sheet, then by all means rest his ass much more often....replace him for defense earlier than usual.....give Pirela a few more extra starts at 2nd base. There are ways and methods....but I don't think GJG has the balls to be the "bad guy". I'm not, and never have been overly impressed with his so-called expertise in managing pitching and the bullpen. I'll take Showalter any day over him ESPECIALLY when it comes to handling "pitching".
