talking about CC in October. Want him no where near pitching in a meaningful game
I don't either. He's only slightly better than Nestor Cortes at this point. Love his heart and what he has done and I really thought he should have retired last year.

My own bet is that he will somehow see a few innings if his knee permits -- which it may not. He can be effective at any point when he's on, if only for say three-plus or four. When he's not, well then it's a mistake to have put him in. Kind of true about a lot of pitchers.

Does CC for 3 innings really earn him a playoff spot? He'd be the 12th or 13th pitcher. And I can name 12 pitchers more useful at this point if Severino and Betances make it back, which looks to have a decent chance now. If Happ keeps up his recent success, he probably makes it. I originally had Happ off and CC maybe on. Not sure now.

I don't know either, especially about Severino and Bettances.
Hard to believe we're only in the top of the 7th. Tanaka has been out of there for a while so it wasn't all him. It's the batters hitting a lot, I guess -- 17 so far, to say nothing of foul balls, all with only one walk.

out? Could they be setting him up to follow Severino?
He's just killing them. And could give up a little without getting anyone hot and bothered. Interesting note about possibly being set up to follow Sevy. Could be.
The video of them streaming out at the beginning of the game to sit in that tiny warm-up area they have up there, described as like a marching band, was pretty funny.
They play poorly and the announcers talk way the heck too much.
Football always sucks 1st few weeks.
Not only that, but giving up a single to Leon.

Happ as long relief. And Sevy isn't starting by then, he's long relief.
I don't see a place for CC.

That and what 6 or 7 pitchers for the Sox?

Six it is. True about what that does to time.

EE gets his, too. That strike one way inside put him off his stride.
