cc's numbers should only get better.

cc's numbers should only get better. I said that after his first (2) starts, and his 3rd start was the worst

[/QUOTE]Given's Cleveland's injury reporting acumen, it may come out after CC's next start that his arm had actually fallen off 3 weeks ago but they re-attached it with surgical tape thinking he could pitch through it. :rolleyes:

[/QUOTE]His 4th start is almost as bad - so far

4.0ip 94pc 8er 9r 5bb 1k

Awful - if I'm an owner - I'd say it's time to get worried.

But - on the bright side Miguel Cabrera owners can start breathing a sigh of relief - 3-3 1HR %RBI's and 2 Runs tonight so far - so who's the new first rd bust? Fielder???

The deciding factor in starting him this week was how bad DET was playing. Since they busted out I've just been hoping he pitched well. This one hurts. At least my offense will be rising with Miggy.

Didn't see him pitch tonight, but I gotta think something is wrong.

Didn't work too well for me last week, but I stuck with CC again for this week.

Was I alone, or did the guys that benched him last week start him this week?

I commend you for sticking with your "studs" and trusting your draft through a tough start!

18 Starting Pitcher were taken in the first 6 rounds (ADP below 90). With Lackey & Kazmir on the DL the other 14 total 36 wins a 3.44 ERA and 1.18 Whip. However when I pull out Sabathia's 24 IP the ERA drops to 3.06 and whip to 1.12

burnout, just like with zambrano CC "Burnout" Sabathia just tossed an 11K shutout.

Last 5 starts:

1.49/0.88 ERA/WH

43/8 K/BB in 36 IP

CC and Zambrano (2.03/1.11) are looking like their same old reliable selves, once again defying the over-use broad brush theorists.

Ehhhh, what's new, happens every year?
