” The way we utilize our reducers all year because we have so many of them lined up, I hate them to sit down and get up,” Sabathia stated. “They never end the inning and get back up. So you want [ Chapman] to do that s– t two times and he [does not] ever do that.”
“Any one of those guys begin the game and we score five runs, we win Game 2.”
Aroldis Chapman provided up the game-winning home run to Mike Brosseau in Game 5 of the ALDS.Corey Sipkin” I mean like, hes gon na get 7 outs?” Sabathia said. “What the f– k? Im sorry, but begin male. What are you doing?”
From the ill-fated pitching plan in Game 2, to how Aroldis Chapman was deployed in Game 5 and Chapmans pitch selection to Mike Brosseau, Sabathia was not a fan.
“Any one of those guys begin the game and we score five runs, we win Game 2.”
And going to Chapman in the seventh inning of Game 5 was a mistake.
Sabathia stated.” The way we use our relievers all year since we have so many of them lined up, I dislike them to sit down and get up,” Sabathia stated. “They never end the inning and get back up.” He had him set up for the strikeout if he threw him the slider,” Sabathia said of the final pitch of the at-bat.
The retired left-hander, currently listed as an unique adviser to basic supervisor Brian Cashman, said the Yankees should have used either Deivi Garcia, Masahiro Tanaka or J.A. Happ as a standard starter in Game 2, when Garcia was pulled after simply one inning and Happ came on to begin the 2nd, with Tanaka held back for Game 3.
Chapman set out Brandon Lowe to end the seventh and got Randy Arozarena out to start the bottom of the eighth before Brosseau pertained to the plate– whichs where Sabathia was dissatisfied with Chapmans pitch selection.
Include CC Sabathia to the chorus of individuals who questioned the Yankees strategy in their ALDS loss to the Rays.
Since reducers like Chapman and Zack Britton arent used for more than one inning during the regular season, they should not be asked to do it in the playoffs– definitely on consecutive nights, according to Sabathia.
” We tried to play their video game and they beat us at it and it wound up costing us the series, is how I feel about it,” Sabathia stated on his most recent “R2C2″ podcast with Ryan Ruocco.
” He had him set up for the strikeout if he threw him the slider,” Sabathia said of the last pitch of the at-bat. He could have tossed a split up there and struck that guy out.”
