" and on the field here after game five Angels go down ten to want to the Yankees the bombers big tonight all over the halos in with cameras oppose. In the broadcast all game long in person -- about the or the -- CC sabathia three days' rest he comes out eight innings pitched. Dominant. Christian I spoke with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin today and of course he's the guy who treated receives the last year then watched him pitch. -- street teams in three days rest down the stretch and he all but force out of what was going to happen. He said that CC sabathia relishes this kind of he said -- is one of these guys what does it of war by -- innings on three days' rest. He wants to go deep into games. That's exactly did and this pitcher is showing so much in this situation this post season. He's thrown a ton of innings. And yet he seems to be getting stronger. At least a little bit tiring in the fifth that he left the all the -- Morales but regrouped and was dominant -- law absolutely and what's so impressive about him is he has but he pitches working -- he's so relaxed and just control himself and everything else going on in the game. It's at this on the air tonight to a half hours before the game. On a golf cart outside the clubhouse talking on the cell phone reporters walking by he was waving and smiling at them. Normally -- walk to pitcher golden era pitcher that David start. As the hardly the days of -- one of those personalities at loosened up the Yankee clubhouse and on the other side Scott Kashmir for the gala tonight boarding -- 89 pitches in four innings from my aspect it looked like. He got a little rattled by the strike zone early in the game kinda -- an option is confidence and got frustrated what did you see from him tonight. He has always been high pitch count guy in. Kazmir is an erratic pitchers just never know which you start the start the -- the stuff to dominate salute always stuff but. He also has trouble at times finding the strike -- slider over. Tonight it was simply a case of him not being able to make his pitches go where he needed and ago and he -- the Yankees when that happens forgetting god. For the Yankees Alex Rodriguez yesterday are -- game three we -- the home run from him but he was up by someone in line small world. Tonight it made it over the fence but again it's over in the postseason he's on record -- It's ridiculous what he's doing right now it's Barry Bonds of 2002. And here's a guy that. Actually been through quite a bit always say him you'll look back to the typical post season he's had with back to the hip surgery that he had left off season. In all the controversy in spring training over the revelations of the steroid use. He told me before the -- story that was the low point in his career get a choice. You go home quit -- fold up or you say okay I'm 3444. Might go on the rest of my career like the final chapters of my story. And man this first chapter of the final chapters is going pretty well. It almost seems like all those controversies all the things surrounding his private life now that it's all of the open. He's more comfortable in being more open it's translating onto the field he did what so many people felt he should do for so many years. Just focus on base. Guy is a wondrous days where -- maybe the best of our generation. All extraneous stuff a lot of which ones of detracted from the perception of him as a player. Now it's all about baseball he is all about baseball again making a big difference cupboard is a long time as he's the best you've ever seen. Bonds when he was going well steroids or not we can talk about the effect of that. He was as dominant hitters -- think we'll ever see. But this guy's pretty good. Now -- from A-Rod the Yankees offense had been struggling with runners in position was that really can for the Yankees come into this game. Christian -- money talk with the Yankees people for the game and they hardly seem concerned at all about what was going on. In the interview it was a relatively small sample size and they just felt that their hitters were too good to stay down for too long. Really that's who we thought and I finally some eruptions and some guys who haven't done much so far Melky Cabrera Geico were a little bit you know. Of course they're kind Jeter in the rest. It's a very good offense and I have a hard time seeing -- being held down by any. Role at the time. Johnny Damon -- into the game at the crowd stampeding to the exit. Last night the Horry was Joe Girardi over managing the game tonight it was almost like he let them play you need one move with -- pinch runner and beats that easy on the other than that. If you let him go let them be themselves and -- didn't have a heck of a lot to -- and it's a perfect way for any manager. Just kind of have the game of the above in front of him. CC sabathia dictated strategy essentially was strategy you'll leaves these the end and he was on three days' rest -- is so strong. Granted he's also going to be pitching on four days' rest if there -- game seven and I sincerely doubt that we'll be. It just wasn't much for Girardi did do. All the issues we talked about yesterday revolved around -- management of the bullpen. I imagine they'll let it -- again before this post season is over. He told us in the private meeting with the fox broadcasters before the game is indeed managing differently in the post season and he did in the regular season. Simply because of all the days off you can deploy its relievers and more of them without fear of hurting them now and finally on the other side of the -- for the Angels. A lasting effect with a -- like this for them what do you think. Typical for them to come back 31. We ran a graphic right into the broadcast only sixteen of the -- who have gone down 31 have come back. The Red Sox did the couple years ago but they had Josh Beckett and they were going home. The Angels -- have John Lackey but he's going to pitch once and then if they win on Thursday night they've got to go back to New York in two games there. Not impossible but it's going to be very difficult for them to do."
