LEURY GARCIA!!! I feel so happy for him. Probably the best moment of his career so far.

Shuck is a REALLY good pinch hitter. He needs to be on the team next year.

Avi is gonna homer here.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) Got free tickets to the game, hoping to get 2 of those sale stretch Armstrong dolls if anyone's looking for one. I'd be interested in one as well.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) He has a 2.74 FIP. So does that mean that his ERA should be 2.74 if everything happened like it should have? I'm not that familiar on the stat. Thanks.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) You wouldn't trade Sale for Schwarber, Torres, Bryant, and Baez? I see your point but if they make a "too good to refuse" offer then I'd take it. Switch Torres with Russell and I'd consider it, but again, it would be very depressing to see him pitch for the Cubs.

I would never trade Sale to the Cubs for anything because it would make me so sad to see him having all that success in their uniform. I'd trade him to any other team before the Cubs and Yankees IMO.

Sale is in 4th for the AL in my opinion, behind Price, Keuchel, and Gray.

Sox win and Sale gets win #13. WOOOOOOOO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Congrats....stay away from pick up trucks and win CY next year

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Less BAPIP and more the HR ball killed him He also had a few starts where he gave up innings of 4, 5, 6 runs each. Eliminate some of those innings and his ERA will go back to normal next year. I'm not worried at all about him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) If Sox want to contend he needs to be a top pitcher. No reason he can't get his ERA back down in the 2.3-2.6 range. Agreed. The BABIP monster killed him this year, but he still didn't have a bad season by any means.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) A full run is more than a little. I'd be content with a 250 K with a 3.10 ERA season for him next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) Yep don't think it's a coincidence his best K year has led to a 3.5 era I'll take a slight decrease in K's if it can improve his ERA by a little bit next year.

I've noticed that Sale is much more effective when he pitches to contact like he's been doing in the past inning or so. When he tries to strike everyone out, he tends to make mistakes with his fastball and then gives up homers.

Congrats to him. It is well deserved. He is amazing.

1 more K to break the record!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 06:29 PM) I have a feeling Sale gets lit up by this lineup. If he does, I will legitimately cry.

Woop-de-doo. Robin should be next. #FireRobin

Hawk is the only one that should have a guaranteed spot next year. He is a legend.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Am I the only one who enjoys seasons that don't end up with the Sox in the playoffs? The last three years have sucked, but 2012 was fun, and 2006 and 2010 were great rides. Hell 2008 is actually a lot closer to 2005 for me than you might think just for Game 163 alone. I'd much rather have those types of seasons than the typical Marlins' season. Doesn't mean the Sox front office shouldn't be held accountable for not making the playoffs, but to me all non-playoff years are not the same. They're frustrating, sure (especially the end of 2012), but 2012 was still >>>>>> 2013. That's pretty much a given. You could go back all the way to 1901 and I would still think that 2013 was one of the worst years for the White Sox franchise ever. They were absolutely terrible from start to finish. I guess Rodon is a great reward for having to endure that trainwreck of a year though.

These game threads are really pathetic at this point in the season.

Hawk is becoming delusional.

Avi comes up with the bases loaded and pops out. Typical.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 07:34 AM) Yes, he would cost the team far more runs defensively in the infield than he has in RF. I can't see him being any worse at third than in right field, but's just me. Chances are that he'll be a horrible defender no matter where you put him. I don't see him improving much, either. He is better suited to be a DH, but he'll never get to that spot if he can't learn how to hit better.
