CC Sabathia Wants to Get Back to Normal After Game 1 Boost From Teammates

Filed under: Rangers, Yankees, MLB Playoffs, American League Championship Series

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The only thing CC Sabathia would like more than to finally pitch on normal rest in Game 5 of the American League Championship series is if his next start comes on 11 days' rest.

Because that would mean the Yankees swept the Rangers and were off until Game 1 of the World Series.

"I'll take it in four," Sabathia said. "Definitely."

This series smells like a sweep after the Yankees crushed the Rangers' spirits with Friday's comeback from a five-run deficit that was Sabathia's responsibility.

If Texas can win a game, Sabathia gets his second choice.

"I am looking forward to being able to throw my regular bullpen (session)," he said, "and be in kind of a normal situation heading into my next start."
