Is it just me or is Phil Hughes having to throw to a smaller strike zone than Sabathia and Lee? Every pitch to Victorino has looked good to me.

that called ball 3 sure did look like a strike...

I think the Phillies are a bit underrated again. It's going to be interesting to see what Pedro does tomorrow, but with Cliff Lee on their side, and Sabathia quite honestly not nearly as good as Lee is, they have a chance to take all 3 of those. It's only one game, but the Phillies chances of winning got astronomically better (assuming whoever comes in to pitch the 9th can hold a 4-run lead).

How is Sabathia not nearly as good as Lee? I'd like to hear this.

I know it's cool to get Lee a shutout, especially with how efficient he's been and how little he's labored, but don't you want to save his arm for game 4, even if he only goes out there and throws 10 pitches? Have Madson or Park go out, hell have Lidge go out there...I think any of those 3 can get you through the 9th without giving up 4 runs (and maybe 5 if Victorino can get Ruiz home here).

Just this postseason. He's just seemed much more hittable overall, and looked worse tonight too (though he only gave up the 2 homers). The Yankees never really had a chance to score, and the Phils had atleast the one chance. And, though barely, the numbers do back it up.

 

Sabathia has been fantastic and is a fantastic pitcher, I just think Lee is the superior pitcher at this point in time.

Lee has been better but saying that Sabathia is not nearly as good implies Lee is much better and that just isn't the case.
