Woooooooooow. This really is the game from hell.

On the bright side, at least Abreu has 2 hits.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 24, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Meh. Chris Sale is allowed a s*** game. And it's just one game. Blowing the historic streak is no more meaningful than any other loss, even if it hurts more on a sentimental level. Avila, on the other hand, can go to hell. That laziness is unforgivable. Put that f***ing turd on the bench where he belongs. Oh, and just to continue with my Saladino Derangement Syndrome, nice soft groundout to P with RISP, loser. Join AA on the bench. Off to other things for my evening. Exactly. Even the best have clunkers occasionally, it's just annoying as hell knowing that the offense won't do anything to fight back to get back into this game.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 24, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) I'd be more worried about the overall state of this team than an award. The team has been struggling for weeks, it's nothing new.

Significantly hampered his Cy Young chances today too. f*** f*** f*** f***

Just pull him now. Give him some rest in a game that the Sox will clearly lose.

Somehow I can't see this anemic offense scoring 3 more runs tonight.

That was the worst inning I've seen from Sale in a really long time. C'mon offense, pick up your ace. He can't be perfect in every start.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 24, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Sale is going to be lucky to get through 7 tonight. He'll be lucky to go 5 at this rate.

Please get this moron out of the booth. He's ruining the good mojo. You guys want the high strikeout version of Sale, this is what you get.

I don't like this version of Sale at all.

f***. Jesus, what kind of defense was that?

Nice to see Jose get a hit on a high fastball.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EATON!

Sale is God. Sale is GOAT.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Who cares? Wins don't matter in the day and age of advanced stats. They don't, I just thought it was an interesting question to ask. I just hope he can get to 20. That's a total that's rarely achieved in this day in age.

As we all know, our ace is 9-0 in 9 starts. That brings up the question: how many wins will he finish the season with? He should have 20-23 starts left if things go as planned. I'm guessing he will finish with 23 wins this year. I just thought it'd be interesting to see the general consensus of the fanbase regarding this question. Thanks.

I don't particularly like Leury, but he makes sense as a bench option right now.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 24, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Agreed. Time to let Navarro take 80% of the ABs. Avila can catch Sale and thats it IMO. The dude's only plan at the plate is to walk, and if that doesn't work, he's pretty much an automatic out. His ABs are hideous. I want Avila to catch Rodon as well (since Carlos has been much more effective this year with Avila catching him as opposed to Navarro), but Dioner should catch the 3 other starters for sure. His offensive upside is way better than Avila.

Must win game for the Sox IMO. The shot of Kluber shutting down the offense tomorrow is pretty high, so they need to win this one for sure.

That game was...very underwhelming. Oh well. We can't really complain about a split. Just win with Sale and Q. 3/4 is fine.

I'm really, really, really worried about Abreu. He looks like he's done.

Game over. I guess a split is ok.
