Chad Jennings:
“I can see (being worried) if I hadn’t beat them in the last three years,” Sabathia said. “But I have. So that gives me confidence to know that I can go out and pitch well against this team.”
The problem with that statement is that this Sox team is better than any team they've run out there "in the last three years", and he has still yet to prove he can beat
this team.
“Fastball command wasn’t there. Everybody knows I throw everything off my fastball. It was just cutting and up-and-out and just all over the place. It was a tough day today.”
...
“When I’m right, I can get anybody,” Sabathia said. “It’s just one of those things.”
...
“It’s just me not recognizing it early enough and going to other pitches. Maybe use my changeup a little more, maybe use my cutter a little more. In some of those hitters counts, I was just trying to make a pitch with a fastball and it just wasn’t working out for me.”
Sabathia is now 0-4 with a 7.20 ERA against the Sox this season.
