Jose Abreu

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 19m RV on Brad Ausmus' "weak" comments about Chris Sale: "He's not weak and we don’t do weak things. And Chris doesn’t do weak things." 1/2

Why did you all discount number 2 so quickly?

Very interesting. http://www.southsidesox.com/2014/9/24/6840...victor-martinez A completely new theory.

Sale has won the ERA battle as Hernandez, even with a CG shutout, would be at 2.25, .08 shy of Sale.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 03:46 PM) Ausmus seems to be a douche Probably still mad about 05

Felix's ERA now at 2.34... Sale leads AL at 2.20

I don't know how many of you go on Facebook, but these days, it's just 10,000 pictures of Derek Jeter... but this was a pretty cool comment:

... talk about a ghost game thread. 3-0 TB in the 4th

Not a good day for our studs- Sale and Abreu

Can Aoki just stop? Seriously, 11-12 this series?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) He's quickly "sale"ing away from the Cy Young Too soon.

His ERA just won't stop rising. It's now at 2.21.

By the way it's at 2.17 now

2.12... there goes any chance at the Cy

Looks like another one of those 95-97 kind of days for Sale. I prefer him as more of a 92-94 guy, especially with the recent increase in Tommy John surgeries, but I feel like I'm the only one with that opinion.

Way to not show the PK ceremony right behind you guys during the beginning of the broadcast, WCIU

Contrary to many reports, RV says he still hasn't made a decision on whether or not Sale will get an extra start during the last weekend of the season.

Can someone please summarize his MLBN appearance?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) But then once I told you that baserunning was factored in, you said this.... I'm just saying they are weighted based on people much smarter than you or I using crazy amounts of data and equations. While defensive WAR is a flukey system, according to the people who calculate it, they are pretty damn confident in their offensive WAR calculations Yeah, I'm not a big Sabermetrics guy, so referring to the first part of your post, I didn't know that baserunning and hitting were combined for offensive WAR. As for the second part, I understand, and I know that McCutchen is obviously a much better baserunner than Abreu, but I just don't get how baserunning is so important when it comes to the stat as opposed to hitting, that's all.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) Ok, but these are scientifically calculated based on which are more indicative of a good hitter. My original post was referring to baserunning being weighted in the offensive WAR stat, not the AVG/HR/RBI/OBP stats individually.
