Wouldn't the Indians be better off with Sabathia in game 6 and Fausto Carmona in game 7? I understand that Westbrook and 4th starter Paul Byrd had more success against the Red Sox than Sabathia and Carmona, but is that trend going to hold? If the Red Sox come back to win the series, I think the Indians (and everyone else) should take notice of wasting one of their top 2 pitchers by sacrificing him to the best playoff pitcher right now, Josh Beckett.

Why waste Sabathia?
Josh Beckett outdueled the Indians ace again, sending the ALCS back to Boston. CC Sabathia pitched well, but he wasn't going to beat Beckett tonight. Now, the Indians will face Curt Schilling in game 6. A win by Boston will force the Indians to send out Jake Westbrook in game 7.
