Jose Abreu

His hitting streak was snapped today. He had a solid liner to deep center but Jones made a great catch. He also would've had a couple more at-bats, but Leury Garcia pinch-ran for him in the ninth.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) No. Fangraph has its own WAR. (People usually called fWAR around the internet). Fangraphs does use B-R's war, they just call it rWAR. So fWAR is more accurate?

QUOTE (BBaum21 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) Just curious, where did you see that? Saw a page with ESPN experts picking their respective teams and Petricka wasn't found on any of them. Glad to see they all had Sale in, as he deserves it despite that DL stint. http://espn.go.com/mlb/playerratings/_/typ...starprojections

ESPN has Sale, Ramirez, and Petricka making the all-star team...

Jones Bloomquist Cano Hart Seager Zunino Morrison Saunders Miller

Eaton Beckham Abreu Dunn Ramirez Gillaspie Viciedo De Aza Flowers

I wonder how many hot dogs were sold tonight.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m Chris Sale on if he was frustrated losing shutout: "W/ all the cacophony going on in ballpark, emotions get best of you sometimes."

Eaton with stolen base #8. He's on 2nd with 2 out for Abreu

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 06:45 PM) Have lefties gotten a hit off Chris yet this year? 2 or 3. Mariners are 20-11 VS LH-starters.

kkkkk

Konerko and Conor blew that inning

He had a nice outfield assist and a sharp single tonight. Good start.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) Sale touching 97. Odd, that brings me back to his reliever days

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) Hoping for a big series from Viciedo Well there's a great start. Peg from LF and a sharp single

I didn't realize how many good defensive plays Abreu has had this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) Go look at their numbers this year. There is absolutely no way you can make a case that Sale is more deserving than Felix. Both advanced and regular stats agree on this one, he's been ridiculous. The other guys are earning it too. I retract the "maybe Felix" part. But Sale's definitely more deserving than Price and Lester. It's pretty close with Kazmir.

How are all of these pitchers more deserving than Sale? I think he'd be a better pick than Lester, Kazmir, Richards, and Price. Maybe Felix, too.

The Bleacher Report list also left Sale off (but included Abreu and Alexei [ESPN predicts Abreu won't make it]), so I was about to write a "Sale should be here" comment. Then I looked at the top three comments, all of which called for Sale's inclusion and talked about how underrated he is. These were non-Sox fans, too.

It came down to management, I guess. Leaving Danks in and having a righty face our lefties.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) I hate Hawk's "If you just get 15 bunt hits a year, that will add 30 points to your average." saying. Because that assumes that all 15 of those bunt singles would have been outs if the guy had just swung normally. It would really add about 22 points per 650 at-bats. And that's true, 2-6 of them would likely be hits.

Skaggs with a 7 pitch inning

Great inning for Danks
