Community Picks: Boston Red Sox 0% vs New York Yankees 0%

Yankees starter CC Sabathia continues to shine as he picked up his fifth straight win last night over the Red Sox. The lefty didn't let up a run, allowing only three hits while striking out five and walking none. He now leads the Yankees in wins, and owns a 1.11 ERA over his streak. While RHP Masahiro Tanaka struggles, Sabathia has been a bright spot in the rotation. He could have gone for the complete-game shutout last night, but given his age and value to the Yankees at this point in the season, manager Joe Girardi knows he must be cautious.  "There's always temptation (to leave him in there), but as a manager and a pitching coach, you're weighing the risk and reward there," Girardi said following Continue to Article

That was the case for Price’s postgame reaction to other media members, including the Herald’s Steve Buckley -- but particularly to me, who discussed part of the Shaughnessy column on Twitter.

After Wednesday night's game, CSN Red Sox Insider Evan Drellich revealed that he had a conversation with Price.  “After the game, Price wasn’t happy. He was directly unhappy with me,” Drellich explained on Boston Sports Tonight. “We had a conversation about it. I prefer not to detail it because I think the conversation was meant to be mostly private. But it was loud enough that most of the reporters overheard it and it will probably be talked about to some extent. “My takeaway is that, from both the story and from the conversation I had with him, is he’s unhappy with how he’s been treated in Boston.

CC Sabathia had just gotten the first out of the fourth inning when he pulled up his right pants leg, then unstrapped and unscrewed the large black brace that has supported his knee during starts since September 2015. "I was watching every pitch on his landing leg," New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said later. Sabathia allowed an infield hit but got out of the inning with a double-play grounder.
