Answer: Should be an emphatic no, except when you factor in Cashman's plan then all logic goes to hell and you keep running him out there. At that point the mgr and pitching coach are the scapegoats in waiting.

 

[yankeesince59]

...CC would have a hard time holding down a mop up role.

 

[Majorball]

With our Front office, that's not always a lock. But No

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Pretty Boy Wilson, the Yankees need to knock the props off of this Clown today. CC pitching today why am I not confident?

On this date in 2007, Joe Torre becomes 1st person ever to win 2,000 games as manager and have 2,000 hits as player. pic.twitter.com/SCCfC8u5j0

 

[Rick2583]

Well that didn't take long, back to back jacks by Trout & Pujols 2-0 Angels in the top of the 1st.

Sabathia.........................................you really suck!

 

[Messiah717]

Slobathia.

 

[totus44]

Its early....he did K the first batter, lol!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

As expected CC once again fails to live up to even his own miserable performance standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rick2583]

Sloppy D about to create another run with only one out.

Sloppy base running saves them. Still 2-0

 

[totus44]

Nice to see run production from the bottom third.

 

[totus44]

BTW....how many errors is that for Headley?

 

[yankeesince59]

...9 or 10 I think...whatever it is, it's too many.

...just checked, that's 13 errors.

 

[totus44]

CC now missing low, unlike in the 1st. He could earn a QS if he keeps his shit together.

 

[yankeesince59]

...terrible call by the HP Ump...that ball was well below Tex's knees.

 

[Messiah717]

Chris Young....Champions of baseball!!!

 

[totus44]

GODner! 5-2

 

[totus44]

OK CC, they gave you a lead, now fucking hold it.

 

[Majorball]

Girardi better have a quick hook

 

[Rick2583]

OK CC, they gave you a lead, now fucking hold it.

This team seems to be determined to get him a win.

 

[totus44]

This team seems to be determined to get him a win.

But is he determined as well? Utoh, might be speaking too soon.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees just went ballistic on home plate umpire.
CC and Girardi got tossed.

 

[Rick2583]

My damn phone rang at the wrong time, what happened?

 

[Messiah717]

This crew needs to go study the strike zone. Both teams have been perplexed.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I don't blame them...he has not been consistent at all.

 

[Rick2583]

Pirela goes yard, I'm happy for the kid.

 

[Messiah717]

Kick this teams ass!!!

 

[cagedlion]

Bellino, HPU, has been calling low pitch strikes. LA catcher
pushes the low pitch up & has been getting called strikes.
Girardi shouts from the dugout...."both ways". Been going on
for 5th & 6th innings. CC throws the same pitch and was not
getting the strike call.
With the way things have been going with CC, he just exploded.
