CC Sabathia: What's Gone Wrong?

[JTWood]

But now people are saying they are still waiting to see how he does against the Yankees and that's just plain dumb in my opinion. Could he have a rough game? Sure. But, you wouldn't sit any other top 10 pitcher because they're facing the Yankees and CC showed he still has top 10 talent yesterday.

My argument is that he's having issues with pressure situations.

I think the Yankees bring a little of that to every game.

Hope you guys had some sense knocked into you and started your ace.

Seems like this thread is ready to be done away with.

I tried trading for him two games ago, but the owner in the end was able to stand his ground.

Glad I started my ace.

Didn't start him this week... and it will cost me a win.

I def would make that decision again. My only regret is that I started him last week.

Other than the fact that he is overworked and overrated?

He pitched great. In the 7th he gave up one hard-hit ball and was beat by a bunt single, a dribbler through the infield, and a ball that Franklin Gutierrez flat dropped in right (which was bizarrely ruled a double). Even then, only one run had scored when he left but the bullpen imploded and let everybody home.

The only bad thing to take out of that game was that CC is awful at covering first on ground balls. But I think we could have guessed that.
