Maybe the most pathetic inning of Sale's career here. Oh where oh where did his fastball go

 

His fastball has been hittable for while.. if his slider is working he is elite

 

If his offspeed isn't that great he is average.

Sale is such a headcase. Should have been covering home.

Yeah, this inning is on him. Kicked the ball with his ankle too (I know he didn't do it on purpose, but still).

Exactly, that is Sale's responsibility. The thin margin is widening, between who is having the better season, Sale or Q. I'll take Q.

Wow its time to grow up Chris.

Yup, Quintana > Sale for sure this year

Sale getting traded this winter a strong possibility too me.

Stinks that Betts and Bogaerts are superstars now and untouchable

Sale has one horrible inning every game that does him in, it's like clockwork.

I'd be fine with a package centered around Benintendi and Moncada.

Saladino has been so good.

Would be nice to see a hit n run here

WOW

Hilarious double for Abreu

lol...

FYI no hitter in 7th for mets Matz right now

It's kind of sad that, if the Sox win today, they will have swept Miami and gained zero ground in the wild-card race (sitting at 7.5 back behind Boston)

And betts is 4-4 with 3 homers and 8 RBI in the 5th

Grienke started that game too. Arizona having a nightmare year

Alexei Ramirez broke it up haha

Probably out but replay is useless

Replay is a joke

4 mph difference between fastball and change up. That's not gonna be very effective

Awful performance by Sale. Absolutely doesn't deserve CY and Cooper deserves serious criticism for the approach this year

Sale gonna blow a gasket because Robin didn't let him finish the inning...and put Turner in hahahaha

Again, you read my mind. The only way Sale is a Cy Young candidate is if he goes back to being a strike out pitcher. Pitching to contact has resulted in a serious decline in his effectiveness. He hasn't won a game in 6 weeks. If he can't be the strike out pitcher, that he was formerly, and go 6 plus innings, then he is not that great. Being able to go another inning isn't sufficient reason for the diminution of his effectivenes.
