When a fat pitcher pitches eight shutout innings, he is durable.
When a fat pitcher continually blows leads in the sixth and seventh innings ... and when he can't make a play on a crucial infield single ... he is no longer durable. He is just fat.
"Machado went to third on a fly ball to center by J. J. Hardy. Adam Jones, the dangerous cleanup hitter, then tapped another swinging bunt up the first-base line. Sabathia ran to retrieve it and tried to make a spinning play. But he is not athletic enough, and his feeble throw dribbled well wide of the mark, and Machado scored to even the tally, 3-3."
"Not athletic enough."
