Listen, I hate ragging on CC. He's one of my favorite Yankees of all time. But he stinks. If the Yankees lose tonight it's probably going to be because CC sucked. He's literally the worst player on the team and for at least the next month they'll keep running him out there every fifth day. There's really nothing else left to be said. The dead horse has been beaten. He's going to keep pitching because of the money he's making and there's nothing we can do about it.
There is going to come a point in the season where winning games is going to take precedents over protecting financial investments. If the Yankees didn't have such a comfortable 6 game lead in the loss column over Toronto would CC still be pitching? Not sure. But if things start to get hairy as we inch closer to October losses like last night may not be as affordable. And when that moment comes, CC has to go. I'd like to hope that when Pineda comes back Cashman will do the right thing and jettison him to the bullpen. But I don't know when that's going to be or what shape the Yankees will be in when it happens.
I've been hoping and praying CC could channel his former self start after start this season and it hasn't happened so I'm done asking for it. I'm just gonna close my eyes, hold my breath and hope for a win.
