Chris sale. This is getting ridiculous.

How does it feel to know the Indians bitch has more rings than your entire rotation?

The Braves have beat his brains in every time they've faced him too, and we have Dallas Keuchel.

Meh. Rings are overrated. When I got mine, the BJs I received immediately went from two a week to two a decade.

Rock’s Chris Sale posts always do. They’re like a fine bordeaux, they just get better and better with age.

3 bad starts.

still a 1.075 WHIP this year, which is about what he had in chicago.

hes on pace to throw 193 IP and fan 275 guys...

and go 5-14.

So, I guess we can put all that nonsense about "statistical trends" and "expecting it to continue" to bed now.

Just wait until Sale's annual pussy strain in August. He'll probably finish the season with 165 IP and 4 wins.

3 is a small sample size. i call it a blip for now. hes had 18 starts. hes given up 4+ ER 6 times. by comparison, max scherzer has started 19 games and done it twice. its the long ball. 1.3 HR/9 for sale is by far a career high. he has a chance to match his career high of 27 he gave up for chicago in 2016. he was at a 3.49 ERA before his last 3, which is ok.
just a weird season.

Too bad he is letting more people score than Madonna in 1991.

The number of ER per start is a useless stat unless you provide the number of IP in said start.


4 ER in one IP is not the same as 4 ER in eight IP.

no, its not useless at all. 4+ER is a measuring stick. sale has never gone 1 IP of 4 ER in a start here, so thats immaterial.
for your reference tho, sales had 2 starts where he didnt go at least 5 and gave up 4+ ER (opening day in seattle, for which i give a pass due to his lack of ST innings. 3 innings, 7 ER and 4 innings and 5 ER). scherzer hasnt done that yet, but came VERY close in 5.1 IP, 11 hits and 6 ER.

The number of IP doesn't matter when saying how many ER a guy gives up in a start?


I obviously said 1IP vs 8 IP for emphasis, but wow. You're a funny guy. Big Red Sox fan, I assume. Huge Red Sox fan.

 

[Ty41Office]

And why do you keep bringing up Max Scherzer?

funny. i didnt say that. i was following your logic.

good comparison against another pitcher considered elite.

would you prefer i use someone not as good?

Ok, if you are going to say something and then not stand by it and tapdance around it and not answer the obvious elephant in the room.

Why even bring it up?

i stood by it with metrics which i posted. you made reference to sale going 1 inning of 4 ER, which he never did.
just following the bread crumbs.

Max Scherzer is the best starter in baseball. Chris Sale is somewhere around #70.

Your wife and Mila Kunis both have vaginas, but is one really the measuring stick be the other?



Note: (If your wife is a babe, then I'm jealous)
