C.C on the mound tomorrow night.. He’s throwing good stuff this year. I just hope he isn’t used too much like he’s been in recent years.

CC Sabathia Signs With the New York Yankees | The Starting Five — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:03:10 +0000

[...] CC Sabathia has signed with the Yankees for 6 years and a record contract during the winter meetings in Las Vegas. The Yankees have been down the last couple of years and had to make some kind of splash heading into the new stadium. Last year was the first year in Derek Jeter’s career that the Yankees did not make the playoffs and honestly this couldn’t come at a better time. CC had one of the most electrifying years in memory for Milwaukee last season when he went 11-2 and had a ridiculous 1.65 era after being traded from Cleveland. The Yankees originally CC last summer but resisted giving up a bunch of prospects for the opportunity to sign him now. Look for the Yankees to sign a couple of more pitchers in the upcoming weeks in hopes of offsetting a serious weakness on the mound.

I agree with Temple. If ever there was a player who put his team on his back it’s CC. Pitching 3 straight games on short rest in such high pressure situations is amazing. His performance in those games was legendary. He is the MVP of the national league. Without him as Temple stated the Brewers would be watching the playoffs at home.

Santana was also great for the Mets. The Red Sox will greatly miss Josh Beckett until he returns. Josh is another amazing pitcher that I’m a big fan of. For years to come these three guys will most likely be the best in the majors.

Now that the Brewers are into the post-season battle for the World Series, it’s worth noting that since April, Carsten Charles Sabathia is 17-7 with an ERA of 1.87.

He has not allowed more than 5 earned runs since his first four starts of the season. He has 10 complete games, 5 shutouts. He has a nearly 5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

In the dog days of summer, he was 9-0 in July and August. In July, his ERA was 2.27. In August, it was 1.12. In five August starts, he struck out 51 and walked 8.

Upon his arrival, the Brewers were 50-40, and they trailed the Cardinals by half a game. The Brewers finished the season 18 games above .500 and finished with the 3rd most wins in the NL. While it appears the Cardinals certainly fell off, the Brewers went from a +18 run differential to a +61 run differential.

Sabathia deserves a great deal of credit for shutting the door on NL opponents and allowing the Brewers to get to the next level. Without Sabathia, the Brewers are at home watching the playoffs.

Okori,

How many years has he pitched in the playoffs? Not every player is an instant phenom. Many players have growing pains. To win a Cy Young this early in his career is a major accomplishment. Calling people chokers at least for me is lame. These athletes do things that none of us can do so we don’t have the right to apply such a label. The geek sports writers that were the last guys picked in gym class calling out these players is a joke. I say, SAY IT TO THEIR FACE! Ahh, I didn’t think so. The average sports fan takes those kinds of labels and goes over board. Remember I’m in the Philly area so I’m talking about meat head so called fans. No person on this earth should be judged by a few moments in their career. Now if he has many years of not pitching well in the playoffs then why not just say he doesn’t pitch well in the playoffs and leave it at that. Personal attacks are not needed.

Yes he is. He’s on a collision course with a second consecutive Cy Young award.

CC is rolling. Most pitchers stumble a bit when they change leagues but CC is rolling. I guess WI is saying Farve who right about now. There is a new star in town.

I don’t call people chokers commonly Michelle. But Kwauku has a point. When he could have put his team on his back and carried them to the world series (in a game 7) he didn’t. He actually didn’t pitch all that well. He’s still got a lot of work to do to prove he’s a big-time playoff performer.

Thanks for the nod to the late, but ever so great Skip Caray. The twelve years I lived in ATL I became a fan of Los Bravos despite their boneheaded trades (David Justice anyone?) and lack of American-born Black players but Skip along with Pete Van Wieren and Don Sutton made summer rush-hour traffic on 285 much more bearable and turned me into a Braves’ fan for life. RIP indeed Mr. Caray.

CC is on the road to greatness but I don’t think it’s going to be in Milwaukee. Don’t be surprised to see the Yanks make a run at him this winter if they don’t make the playoffs.

Kwauku,

Stop dogging C.C. He’s a young pitcher. People like you crack me up labeling people chokers. Always talking trash about talented people that you are obviously jealous of. He has a long career and many playoff games ahead of him.

C.C. I like. I hope he stays in Milwaukee long-term. There is something about him and that city that just fits. However, i’d feel a lot more comfortable if they went back to the 1982 uni’s.

and re Dontrelle: your point was that he is mroe effective when he gets to hit. but that point gets torpedoed because he was bad during 2006 and 2007 when he was hitting every 5 days.

main point: don’t trade with the Marlins if you’re the tigers. They dumped Miguel Cabrera on the tigers and look what he has done.
