    CC Sabathia

    The CC Sabathia trade is looking pretty good right now for the Brewers. After a rough first outing that Milliliter still managed to win, he's pitched three complete games, shutting out the division rival Cardinals Wednesday night. Here's the four game stretch. Notice how he's gotten better with each start. In addition, the three complete games haven't been that taxing. He did throw 122 pitches in the first one against Cincinnati, but brought that down to 110 pitches against the Giants and just 106 against the Cardinals. He now has six complete games on the season, tying his career high.

    CC is striking out 8.5 batters per nine while walking just 2.2. He's allowed just one home run in his 33 innings pitched. His rate with Cleveland was 21.3 per 200 innings pitched.

    Looking at CC from the batters perspective, they've hit just .180 against him, and their slugging percentage (.243) is lower than their OBA (.244). They are just 1 for 19 with runners in scoring position and have collected just five hits with men on base.

    The Brewers now sit just one game behind the Cubs. Milwaukee is 9-3 since CC first started for them. This is exactly the kind of boost Doug Melvin was looking for when he decided to pull out all the stops to win this season.

    The Sabathia Effect

    July 8, 3:22 PM
    The trade of CC Sabathia to the Brewers is being hailed as a bold move by Milwaukee.  It should be noted, however, that Sabathia's contribution, at first glance, may not be that big.  In my latest column at SportingNews.com, I calculate... Read More

    The Wang Stuff
