How’d you like to see this coming at you?
If last night was any indication, either I’ve severely overestimated C.C. Sabathia or Eric Wedge way overused him during the season. Over 240 innings in a year is a lot these days. (Santana pitched 219 this year.)
Last night (and in game one of the Boston series) he just wasn’t sharp at all. Zellar opined that it was because he was just tired…and he’s not in very good shape to start with. Over 290 pounds is a lot of weight to move around. About 90 pounds more than Johan has to heft with each pitch.
Sabathia did go 4-1 against the Twins this year, though, while Santana was 0-5 against the Indians.
I’d still take Grady Sizemore for Mauer in a heartbeat though.
