QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:48 PM) Buehrle's ERA+ 197 Sale's ERA+ 260 with a 38 inning difference

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:44 PM) I don't think it is close. Sale has been the best pitcher in the AL Sale's only pitched 50 innings to Mark's 88. Chris isn't even an eligible pitcher for ERA yet. Let's wait until then.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:40 PM) You're joking, right? Did Greg775 hack your account? Sale will be 6-0 after tonight, not that it means anything....but he was determined not to lose anything close to 14 games again (despite the barely above 3 ERA). At the end of the season, Buehrle will be around a 3.75 or 4 ERA. I agreed until bold. You can't know that

Look, Sale's been incredible, but look at Buehrle's numbers this year. He's been phenomenal as well. It's close

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) So if you had to pick one pitcher to start the most important game of the season you would pick Buehrle over Sale?? Come on. Sale is just on another level. And this is coming from someone who's favorite pitcher of all time is Buehrle I'd pick Buehrle.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) A lefty got a hit off Chris Sale. It's been nice knowing you all. 1-34, now?

Goal!!! Jose with the hat trick!

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 1m Adam Eaton totally took out Howie Kendrick trying to break up a double play. #SouthSide

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
