Doesn't matter. This slob will get shelled in the playoffs against the good AL teams. He will then get his huge FA contract anyway and show up for spring training weighing about 400lbs.

That's assuming the Brewers make the playoffs and then the WS.

The point is not whether he was laboring or not after 111 pitches. It is about POSSIBLY overworking your ace when it's not necessary. Is the bullpen that bad that they can't hold a 7 run lead for one inning?

Hell, even Bob Howry has a decent chance of giving up less than 7 runs in an inning.

I would tend to agree with the national media outlets and Bill Wrigley on this one. While Yost has a point about the ease that CC is tearing through the NL, what he's definately not looking after Sabathia as if he was there long term ace.

I'd also like to add that I think Racer X is a dumass.

Yeah Ned Yost, be real easy on CC this year because the Yankees need him next year.....

Any possibility that CC is pressing Yost to get all those complete games for contract negotiating?

Everyone complains that starters don't go far enough anymore and now he does and everyone still complains. Hypocrities. If CC isn't complaining, then shut up about it.

Thanks Ok. Burn him out. The Brewers won't have him next year anyway.

You're over-cookin' my grits, Yost.

I second that motion

You're damn right he's riding this guy into the ground! Why not...Sabathia will turn around next year and hold some team hostage for close to $200M.

sheets and cc should agree to go back to the brewers for less money each. if they do that team would be a contender for the next decade

Who cares? He is a pitcher and he is doing what he gets paid to do. I see no ill effects of letting him pitch 5 complete games ocer his last 9 starts. More managers should be doing what Yost is doing. All I see is pitchers being babied and yet it seems more of them are on the DL now than they were back when pitchers routinely threw 130 pitches a game. And since when did 6 innings and 3 earned runs or less (quality start) become something to celebrate?

The guy is 6-7 and weighs 290. Give me a break. He gets paid to pitch and he's not complaining, so let him pitch.

AFScott... good point. If you're gonna get someone you know is a rental and will inevitably sign for big bucks with another team, why not get the most out of him?

Where are my effin comments?
