I know I am in the minority but CC will be fine. CC is not going to tell Ned he is fine if his arm is tired at all. He's in a contract year and knows darn well if he hurts his arm 25 mil is not going to happen. Twenty years ago nobody would be saying a thing about it. He's pitched like this his whole career and has had very limited issues. He's a big dude with a big arm.

Innings eater, not waste of AB

 

Admittantly I didn't even look at his offensive value, which is certainly shaping up to be pretty darn good. It doesn't add 5 wins or anything but it certainly has value.

 

Calm down, It was a joke...

 

Where did this "Player X says hi" joke come from, exactly? It always seems to be used to try and dispute something that it really doesn't dispute.

[razzzorsharp]

Pull him Ned.

I never argued anything, it was a joke.

Weeks must be rubbing off on Hardy.

[sauveb]

Don't forget that CC gets an extra day of rest before his next start.

[razzzorsharp]

How can you have a pitcher with over 110 pitches out there and not have anyone even warming.

[rluzinski]

Infield defense... so many errors.

[Gobias Industries]

Ray Durham, where have you been? Oh yeah, on the bench in lieu of Rickie Weeks.

Ray Durham himself says he can't play everyday anymore. Starting one over the other wouldn't cost the Brewers even one game the rest of the way.

 

He's having a nice night, but let's not get crazy, 2 of his hits were groundballs that found holes.

[Bernman23]

Joke defense, that should be the end of the game.

 

TAKE HIM OUT NOW NED

[moofnelson]

Has it been officially announced that Braun left because of an injury? The ESPN dude said it was a defensive replacement.

[tyguy20204]

Yost you dolt, get CC out of the game.

[razzzorsharp]

Over 120 pitches in a blowout. I guess it's a win at all cost mentality.

[endaround]

So who will Yost completely wear out first: Jason Kendall, Craig Counsell, or CC Sabathia?

[trwi7]

124 and counting...Ned is officially dumber than I thought he was.

[Gobias Industries]

I'm assuming this is his last batter regardless. Hopefully he has a efficient start against Pitt.

 

Edit: I assumed wrong.

[thablingster]

Is Ned waiting until this is a save situation so he can use Torres?

[brewers19]

The ESPN announcers are absolutely incredulous that CC is still in there, and rightfully so.

[ELCABALLO45]

He does have an extra day off.

[endaround]

Well he's got to face Berkman to keep him hitting right handed now!

[brewcrew00]

He's fine, he wouldn't be out there if he wasn't. Relax everyone, it's the difference between thousands and thousands of dollars to him I'm sure.

[TauPentaRei]

regardless of score: TRAVESTY.

 

unbelievable

[ELCABALLO45]

W!!!

[trwi7]

130 pitches. That's just inexcusable.

[razzzorsharp]

I don't know if I have ever been more flabbergasted after a win.
