David Pinto noted the similarity with CC Sabathia...

"Put Roy Oswalt in the same category as C.C. Sabathia. Through four innings, Roy allowed four home runs and eight runs, putting his ERA at an even nine. He's now given up five home runs on the season after allowing 14 in 212 innings last season. These are the Florida Marlins pounding him! Yes, I know they are in first place, but this is Roy Oswalt. It's going to be a sad year for Houston if there's something seriously wrong with Roy."

"C.C. Sabathia gets knocked around for his third start in a row. The Oakland Athletics score nine runs off the lefty in 3 1/3 innings. That raises Sabathia's ERA to 11.57, as all nine were earned. He struck out four and walked two, but twelve of the seventeen balls in play against Milliliter ended up hits. It seems like the opposition is squaring up his pitches well. It makes you wonder if there is something physically wrong with Sabathia. I'm guessing the Cleveland front office is glad they didn't reach a long term agreement before the season started."
