Like today, as he gives the "Girardi better be right or else" treatment, criticizing the decision to start Andy Pettitte on short rest...but offering no alternative. Why?

He is nothing like the unpredictable arm of A.J. Burnett or the aged and often fatigued arm of Andy Pettitte. To the dejected detractors of the three-man rotation, Sabathia’s body is an outlier that explains everything. However, when you truly reflect upon that notion, that Sabathia’s buxom body is somehow behind his short-rested success, you quickly come to the realization that such an ...
