flavum Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Great game by Sale. Flowers' homers really may come back to kill the A's season. They go to Seattle for 3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 pushing Oakland fans over the ledge has been a lot of fun these past few days. Good job Sox. Avi starting to find a little rhythm at the plate. Good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I went with 77 and 85 or something like that so a bit optimistic but if Avi didn't get injured they'd probably be a couple games better. The rest of the injuries were just the usual stuff but Avi's was a bit of a freak play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I worked all afternoon and just popped on to see the score. If the White Sox were in a pennant race I would have gotten no work done and they would have blown it in the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) I think 8-8 will keep them in the top 10, and since I predicted 74-88 before the season started, I'd take that. Seconded. Nice 11 game improvement over last year shows progress to prospective FA's and should maintain the protected pick. Fortunately, the Mets, Pads, Reds and Phils have been playing well enough to stay ahead of the Sox. Hope that continues. Probably won't catch the teams below us (maybe Houston), but a great pick can be had at #9, 10 or 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro in 2000 had an ERA of 1.74. That was an ERA plus of (get ready...) 291. Sale's ERA+ is "only" 190. Pedro Martinez is possibly the greatest pitcher of all time. You check his B-Ref page and it blows you away. Dude was dominating during the steroid era, just filthy.

flavum Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Pedro also did it with 217 innings. I love Chris Sale, don't get me wrong. But at 180-185 innings (if he gets there), it becomes a little asterisk-worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for picking me up SS2k5. Wanted to start the game thread last nigh tsince I knew I'd be working when the game started but I forgot and fell asleep. Great game Sale and Semien and Petricka.

Jose Abreu Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If Sale finishes with a sub-two ERA and Felix is around 2.15, it'd be a crime for Sale to lose the Cy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
