Ken Rosenthal had another interesting article this morning, this time about whether CC Sabathia or Chad Gaudin should start game 4. If the Yankees lose game 3 he says that CC starts, end of story. I agree. But if the Yankees win game 3 he argues that starting Gaudin wouldn't be a bad idea. He ...
The Most Important Game
nybaseballdigest.com 30 days ago — Blogniks and the more hyperbolic writers out there have been writing since roughly about 6½ seconds after the Yankees won the AL pennant, that the Yankees Must Win Game 1! It’s the most important game!!! A Must Win!!
I disagree. I believe the most important game has already been played. It ...
Three starters or four?
yankees.lhblogs.com 10/27/2009 — One of the big questions for Joe Girardi tomorrow – and one which he may not answer – is how many starters the Yankees will use in the World Series. In the ALCS, the schedule had an extra off-day (between Games 4 and 5) that allowed the ...
Yankees Rotation On Short Rest
camdencrazies.com 25 days ago — During the liveblog for Game 4 of the World Series yesterday, we discussed whether CC Sabathia should have started the game on short rest or if the Yankees should have let Chad Gaudin start and pushed CC back to Game 5 to pitch on normal rest.

Why It May Not Matter If CC Or Gaudin Go In Game 4
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/15/2009 — I know I may be getting a little ahead of myself, but I'd like to bring up the fact that all this controversy over using a 3-man rotation and weather to start Chad Gaudin or CC Sabathia in Game 4 may not mean anything come the day of Game 4. Here's why: First of all, the Yankees are playing the ...
Yankees Rotation On Short Rest
mlbnotebook.com 25 days ago — During the liveblog for Game 4 of the World Series yesterday, we discussed whether CC Sabathia should have started the game on short rest. In The Book there was a study about effectiveness for different rest periods, and the results seemed to be about a 17 point increase in wOBA ...
Yanks make the right call by tabbing Sabathia for Game Four start
riveraveblues.com 10/19/2009 — With the Yankees heading to Anaheim sporting a 2-0 series lead in the ALCS, Joe Girardi announced earlier tonight that they’re going for the kill and will start CC Sabathia in Game Four Tuesday night. It’s the first time the big guy will ...
Game Six Is The Key
yankeesredsox.com 10/23/2009 — I fully expect the Yankees to get to the World Series this weekend. There I said it, but when you have Andy Pettitte and C.C. Sabathia both ready to go on full rest, at home and you only need 1 win, I don't think I am taking a making waves. But, the timing of victory is very ...

Yankees
fans feel when CC Sabathia takes the mound, they can expect dominance
in this postseason. They’re also aware (as their opponents should be as
well) when Andy Pettitte pitches, he’s going to give them a solid effort when October rolls around; much like he has in all of 2009.

Sabathia To Go In Game 1, But Should He Get Game 4 Too?
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/12/2009 — With the Yankees completing their sweep of the Twins last night they're now able to set their rotation whichever way they'd like for the ALCS, and it what should be no shock to anyone, it appears CC will get the ball in the opener on Friday. Marc Carig had this quote from Girardi, which told ...

boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 10/28/2009 — It's about 10:15pm EST on Tuesday night. The first pitch of the 2009 World Series is a little more than 22 hours from now. I just got finished watching MLB Network's "Path To The Pennant - New York Yankees" special. If you missed it, it was basically a recap of the Yankees 2009 postseason so ...

During the past few days, Pedro Martinez has spent a lot of time telling us -- usually rather amusingly -- about all of the things that Pedro Martinez is. He is the most influential player that has ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. He is the would-be ...
