7th game of the World Series, which of these two pitchers would you rather have on the mound?

Question

CC Sabathia or Rich Harden?

Answer 1

if you know both are healthy, Harden. Harden is just filthy. Sabathia is great and could win the Cy Young over Harden any year, but not any day. When Harden pitches, he's lights out. Sabathia hasn't had one yet with the BrewCrew, but shaky starts come all the time. If it isn't like Rich Harden's first start back from the DL, and I know he's healthy, he's my guy. Not jsut cuz  like the A's.

Answer 2

CC Sabathia.

He's always been a top notch pitcher, but since he came to the Brew Crew, he's been absolutely phenomenal.

Answer 3

CC

He has expierence in the playoffs

Answer 4

Sabathia hands down!!

Answer 5

definetley cc. i mean didnt he throw like 130 pitches in a game the other night?

Answer 6

Im going to move away from the crowd and actually say Rich Harden for this one.  I know his numbers arent great in the playoffs, but keep in mind that those games that he played in were during his rookie years i beleive and he struggled in his rookie year as the A's made the playoffs and were beaten by the Red Sox.

I want Rich on the mound in game 7, because, we know this is the last game of the year.  He wont have to hold anything back at all.  He can clock out pitch after ptich at 95-96 without having to worry about his bad shoulder.  ANything that happens he can deal with during the postseason next to the MLB World Series Trophy.

Answer 7

CC Sabathia for shizz, he's doing absolutely amazing. I agree with Greta all the way! Although, Rich is doing very well also...good question.

Answer 8

i'll go with CC. hands down, been dominating since the trade to Milwaukee.

Answer 9

i would pick CC Sabathia  

Answer 10

Until about 2 months ago I would have not wanted either. I never have been a CC fan, but he sure has been money so far for the Brewers. Keep in mind though that pitching in the 7th game of the WS is a far different situation than pitching in mid-July or August. Given the choice you've provided, I would have to go with CC, but both are unproven in that scenario.  

Answer 11

Ohh... why u got have it be so hard man!

I mean Rich Harden is an amazing pitcher....when he's healthy so u have to take that into consideration....and CC well that big man can just pitch. Period. I mean 14-8 but he must be like 8-0 as a Brewer AND he's also a hitter! Rich harden was also a very good addition to the cubs (I miss him in Oaktown, though :( ) becuz that just made them like almost unbeatable. Seriously that's wut an 8-2 record with an era of like 2.04 !

So I'll take CC please with some good hitting on the side

Answer 12

Well that's hard because both are good but Sabathia in the Postseason has been Horrendous, but i think i will go with him

Answer 13

I would take cc anyday but with the teams they are currently playing on they might meet in the playoffs but not the world series.

Answer 14

Neither of them has pitched stellar in the playoffs yes.  Harden is 1-2 with an ERA over 6 in 3 postseason games, and Sabathia is 2-2 with an ERA over 7.  His numbers look a little sharper in Division Series: 2-0, 4.09 ERA, 10 strikeouts in 11 innings.  That gives him a slight edge of those two pitchers.

When you're talking about either one, I think they lose *some* edge in the World Series, because they both came over from American League teams, which means that other AL teams know them a little better.  They've both been on fire in the NL, pitching against people who have never - or seldom - seen them before.  But if they get into the WS, they lose a lot of that edge.

Answer 15

none, id put my gf on the mound, and have her win the WS for us....then i can bang her afterwards.....ehehe, a win-win situation

Answer 16

CC.  Harden is a great pitcher, but CC is GREAT.

Answer 17

harden has problems with injury so the cubs barley let him get passed 100 pithches

but sabathia is a hourse who keeps the score low(i also think the brew crews d-fence better)

so sabathia

Answer 18

Sabathia would be my pick.
