Jose Abreu

We can all breathe a sigh of relief. Gillaspie's slump is over and he's back to his regular batting average zone (.347 right now).

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) Yup, I remember watching that game QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) Grounder past Alexei into centre field I think Feeky's right

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) Trout always seems to hit sale pretty decent , even if it results In an out. Or atleast it seems IIRC, Trout ended Sale's perfect game with an infield single in May of 2013 on ESPN

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Who committed it? What happened? Thanks for answering JA No problem, Gillaspie couldn't grasp an easy grounder that would've been a double play. Cost Sale 6-7 pitches

Eaton 2-3

LA has had 3 or 4 balls that could've easily been hits, but Alexei and Eaton have stepped up defensively

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) Sale is just on another level.. He is the best pitcher in the MLB right now.. No question about it I put Sale at 2 behind Buehrle

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) I did. I heard there was an error. A pretty bad one

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Fangraphs http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=OF I've always been a BBref guy, but I might turn to FanGraphs because BBref lacks a multitude of advanced stats

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) 2013 line drive rate: 24.7% 2014 line drive rate before tonight: 24.4% Which stat website do you use

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Nice to see eaton and beckham with RBIs. I really like Conor right now. Sale is just magnificent. Helluva bunt by Flowers. I don't think I've ever seen him bunt I'm guessing you missed the bottom of the 1st.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Swapping the slider and changeup in terms of amount of use for Sale may have been for his long-term health, but it may have actually made him a better pitcher, considering his changeup has rated higher in run prevention. Small sample size, and there are other factors, but good point

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) I swear to god every Sale start this season has had me looking at pitch count early thinking of a perfecto/no-no/complete game. Join the club

After a 20 pitch 1st inning, Sale has thrown just 15 more through 3 total innings. His line: 3.0 IP, 1 BB, 4 SO

Cowgill's AB was proof that Shoemaker has a bigger zone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Reminds me of Soriano when he K's. I see more of a Mark Reynolds

Long break for Sale, let's hope he's unaffected

beckham!

there's your slump-breaker

QUOTE (1dog @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) We don't. Please don't say stuff like that. Makes me sad. Isn't there a thread on how some want him back? I don't think I've ever opened it so I guess it might be sarcastic

Alright, solid job by Tyler

With Jones, our 4 righties would be him, Putnam, Webb, and Petricka. That would be lethal.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) I thought that was confirmed. No? He's "hopeful" to return, nothing confirmed

There we go Alejandro

Speaking of Nate Jones, do you guys think he's out for the year
