CC Confident As He Heads Into Second Start

From Mark Feinsand:

Sabathia allowed six runs on eight hits and five walks in 4-1/3 innings on Monday in Baltimore, struggling with his fastball. Sabathia worked in the bullpen on Wednesday with pitching coach Dave Eiland, and the results from his side session left the ace in a positive state of mind.

The side session were done to correct a flaw in his mechanics. According to Peter Abraham, Sabathia said he was having issues with his foot work and was planting his front foot too quickly but also said the issues had been worked out.

OK, now back to the Feinsand article:

"I felt good," Sabathia said. "I'll just get back out there, throw to both sides of the plate and make sure I'm catching the plate instead of throwing off the corners."

Sabathia said he spent his bullpen session trying to hit the outer third of the plate on both sides rather than nibbling at the corners, giving him a wider target and some more room for error.

"I'm not trying to be too fine; I just want to get ahead," Sabathia said. "Anytime you struggle and follow that up with a good bullpen, you tend to carry that over with you to the mound."

I'm pretty confident too, and I think he'll go out there today and pitch a good game. And to be honest, I just hope he has a good game so I don't have to read all the 'sky is falling' articles tomorrow.
