Girardi and his handling of the staff

George King of the Post talked to Sabathia yesterday and asked him what he thought caused the pain. Was it throwing 253 innings in the 2008 regular season and making his last four starts on three days' rest? "No, that's not it," Sabathia said. "It could be the 120 pitches this year."

 

Sabathia has thrown 119+ pitches three times this season: April 16 (122), May 2 (119) and June 11 (123). In his 14 starts before the injury, he pitched into the eighth inning eight times.

 

When Sabathia was with the Guardians and Brewers last season, he did not get to 119 pitches until June 5 and his first time over 120 was on July 2. He pitched into the eighth inning four times in his first 14 starts.

This is unfair because when Girardi took CC out after 101 (June 6th vs. Tampa Bay) he made comments about wanting to stay in the game.

He hasn't been on the team for a season and he's already calling Girardi out.

 

He better watch out for his job...........

Players throwing Girardi under the bus, then?

I really try not to read too much into those things. We're not in the clubhouse, and we really have no idea the kind of relationship Girardi has with his teammates. It's purely conjecture, and I really don't think anything is gained by debating and speculating about it.

 

I was only refuting the claim that Sabathia has a right to be upset because he is being overused.

If Cashman could give him a pen, he wouldn't have to pitch CC so many innings.

[redsoxrules]

with the money CC is getting he should be pitching complete games all the time

The truth, you speak it.

No one likes Girardi. No one. If the Yankees continue to disappoint, there will be plenty of backstabbing of the manager through the press.
