Yankees vs Dirty Laundry (8/21-23)

hes facing a quality pitcher....he made contact with 2 strikes and got a run in. Cant complain

 

CC works out of a jam.

 

Fuck. That was probably the best chance they're going to have the rest of the night.

 

Sabathia has thrown 18 more pitches through two innings despite having much more success.

the Ks and that AB by Pedroia explain it, really.

 

the fact remains he is at a lot more pitches.

 

they're willing to go higher with CC than Boston will go with Beckett, and CC has been pitching better.

Beckett could get chased not by pitch count, but by runs.

Plus, CC threw a lot of pitches after my post.

If I counted correctly, that was a 23 pitch inning.

 

yes, because CC's 6 ERA this game is so much better he can't possibly be chased by runs.

 

Robbie Cano goes deep! 5-2

 

i don't understand where beckett has been this week.

 

maybe a little tired shoulder on beckett?

 

and that's what I was talking about. I don't think Beckett will make it through 6. That would be the absolute max.

Beckett has simply not been good tonight.

Three homers allowed in four innings.

 

but your argument was, CC was doing doing far and away much better , and couldn't possibly be chased first, yet the pitch count and the 2 runs in 3 innings.

 

Yeah, but Beckett has been getting hit hard, and Sabathia's pitch count is up because of a few long ABs and hasn't been hit nearly as hard.

You want to bet as to who lasts longer?

 

no, but to make such a claim that bold is a bit of a stretch.

 

I would also bet as to who lasts longer. Hint: I won't be betting on Beckett.

And that was my point to begin with.

Is that so hard to understand?

Beckett has not been pitching well, and he's in danger of getting chased early.

 

That Beckett won't be able to complete six innings at this rate? Doesn't seem like that big of a stretch to me.

 

Please work on your reading comprehension.

My post said:

"At this rate, Beckett won't be able to complete six innings, and the overworked Red Sox bullpen is going to be relied on once more."

And you inexplicably started arguing with me because I said that.

I didn't even say "I guarantee Beckett won't complete 6 innings", where maybe I could see you taking issue with it.

I said "At this rate..."

 

touche. good point.

 

meanwhile, this game is taking FOREVER

 

Cano does it again

second time he overran the ball

bad job by Bay slowing down, but it doesn't hurt the Red Sox.
