Sabathia gives up 6 runs in first two innings as Yanks drop opener to Astros

Team "ace" CC Sabathia gave up 6 earned runs in 6 innings of work and the offense as a whole collected just two hits through their seven at-bats tonight as the Yankees again lost on opening day to the Astros, 6-2. Going into this one, I'll admit I had some really high hopes for #52, but obviously I was wrong. Apparently, nothing has changed with him. He's still terrible.

Anyway, in tonight's eighth inning the Yanks kinda rallied, putting across two runs thanks to a couple of RBI Singles from Brian McCann and Mark Teixeira. But besides that, I really can't think of any positives. I guess Vidal Nuno and Dellin Betances both throwing scoreless frames of relief was kinda cool, but still, this game was depressing. Definitely not a good way to start a championship year.

  1. CC was absolutely terrible for 2 innings, but that was also some of the worst defense I've seen in a long time. I count a lot more than 1 error. Tex threw a ball away, McCann threw a ball away, and Gardner kicked around a few. Plus, I thought Johnson was supposed to be a platoon guy. Bases loaded, Solarte on the bench, and Johnson faces a lefty? Bad game.From CC all the way through to Girardi.

  3. yes Jeff but don't worry. Girardi is benching the binder for a new iPad and it did not have all the latest and the greatest information as far as splits go on it yet. That's why Johnson faces a lefty there and Solarte sits on the bench. Also why we saw some really weird shifting going on.

  4. I'm not worried. I've never seen a team win 162 games before. Plus, I'm not a fair weather fan. I love my team through good and bad.
