True, pitching on short rest may have caught up with him, but this is the third lousy postseason start in the row. Some team is going to give him ridiculous money when he hasn't proved himself when it matters most.
Sabathia cannot handle playoff pressure

I will say he hasn't pitched well in any of his playoff games, but does that necessarily make him a "choker"? I think a person who chokes is one who succumbs to the pressure of the situation. Is Sabathia really succumbing to the pressure of the situation? Do we know that for sure?Last edited by SamtheBravesFan; 10-02-2008, 09:23 PM.46 wins to match last year's total

Anyway, Sabathia has pitched on three days a number of occasions since September began. He's a choker, because a offensive club like the Phillies hit him? That's fair. Brewers should have pushed him back to Game 3, but look at their situation, they had no choice.

I'm not calling CC a "choker" just yet, but his playoff numbers are terrible.The official website of the Milwaukee Brewers with the most up-to-date information on scores, schedule, stats, tickets, and team news.
What are you talking about? A majority of the Cub starters were in the lineup and remain in the lineup.
If you wanted to say the Brewers offense went up against minor league pitching, that's not entirely untrue, but to say the Cubs threw a minor league starting lineup out there on Sunday isn't true.

Now, everyone quit bickering about the Mets and A's. It's irrelevant to the discussion.
The reason Sabathia sucks is simple. He's gassed. He threw 241 IP last year and 253 IP this year. He simply has nothing left in the tank by now. Thank Ned Yost for having him throw complete games when the team was up 6-8 runs.Last edited by NYMets523; 10-03-2008, 06:20 AM."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

Playoff pressure is way overrated for someone who has been in the league as long as CC, i dont believe the fact that it was just the playoffs is why he had a bad game. The guy has been a beast, he had an off day against a good hitting team.
