Yanks down 3-1 with Cheeseburger Cheeseburger on the mound this afternoon. Anyone think they can come back?
I'm still shocked they didn't pitch fatso 1, 4, 7.
cvilleagle {l Wrote}:The reason they didn't pitch C.C. 1,4,7 is that they had to go 4-deep anyways. Last year they could pitch C.C. 1,4,7, compress to 3 starters and keep everyone on regular rest. But this year if they would have done it and gone to 3 pitchers Hughes still would have been pitching game 5 with 4 days rest, and Pettite would have been pitching 6 on three-days rest. They just don't have 3 horses that can go every three days. Sabathia could, but then you would have had Burnett in game 5 (or possibly Hughes 5 and then Burnett 6). Either way you had to put the ball in his hands.

I understand that they would have to go 4 deep but if I was a Yankees fan I'd prefer to get my ace out there as much as possible:
1) CC
2) Pettite
3) Hughes
4) CC (3 days)
5) AJ (as you said he's going to need to pitch anyways)
6) Pettite
7) CC (3 days)
Meaning you could move back Hughes to the pen after game 3 (where they clearly need help).

If this doesn't sum up the fan base, I don't know what does.
