Only 1 hit against the same guy we saw a week ago. Wish Saladino was in the line up

After? You didn't already know before?

 

Funny how Davidson was raking the past two or three years in ST, goes down to AAA, and is horrid. This was his worst ST statistically and he's been raking so far in the bigs.

Lol

Is Santana suddenly really good or is the Sox lineup just really bad? Combo of both maybe?

Yes to both. Great location for Santana and this was simply a terrible lineup put out by RR

Just tip your cap to Santana and show up tomorrow for a new game

At least I get to watch Sale now while munching a pizza ?

I watched Santana 1 hit the Sox over 9 when he was with the Angels... gave him a standing O with my Sox hat off. When he's on he's amazing.

Lol this board man

Maybe. Maybe I don't care what you think

 

No need to make it personal dude.. I was addressing something that is ridiculous and unnecessary.

 

Idiotic to publicly try and trade a guy and expect him to pitch like normal. He's a human being and the distraction would be too much for anyone. Hahn really screwed this 1 up

 

Good point. Q may be mentally shot after all the trade talk.

Q 0-3 already not even official tax day yet.

I suspect the trade talk has started to make an impact. The guy is human...how could it not?

 

Plus as per usual, they can't score runs for him. That may finally be bothering him more than the trade talk.

It's more than not scoring runs.

He's getting knocked around early. Or maybe it's just like Sale against the Twins in recent years...psychological.

 

And that line-up, there was no way they were doing much with two of their hottest guys benched.

Probably so, but they had last trade deadline to get this done, all off-season to get this done.

Responsibility and accountability for this (and the last 4 years), or excuses?

18 runs given up against the Twins in his last three starts against the Twins dating back to September 1st.

 

That's 75% of his poor numbers right there.

 

In his other 6 starts, he's given up a much more reasonable 16 runs. KC and Detroit got him for another 10. Weird.

 

Essentially, the AL Central is squashing his trade value. And it's not even the Indians.

If he is truly that weak mentally, he is not a #1 pitcher.

Chris Sale might go winless and still win the Cy Young, haha.

 

1.27 era and 12 k's but headed for a no decision, potentially.

He's not. He's had 2 bad games, it happens. People are going to speculate any time something doesn't go completely right with him this year. This guy has proven time and time again that he can handle adversity, he'll be fine.

Sawx need to score this inning.

 

But really, I wonder if baseball will ever just discontinue Wins, Losses, and Saves. They are completely meaningless, but are so hard to ignore.

In line to get his first win if the bullpen can hold it. Official ERA of 1.25 now.

 

Btw, Oakland with one of the weirdest no hit game lines in recent history against the Astros through 6.

We get it, the worse Q pitches, the lower the value and the less the Sox get back as that trends. Pretty obvious stuff.

Pretty much says it all.

If he is pitching poorly due to the trade rumors in the off season, I think that qualifies as having issues mentally. The was the to the statement that he may be pitching poorly due to the off season rumors.

 

I never said that this was the case. I was just responding to the poster who said it could be.

And no one gives a crap because pitching wins are meaningless.

Yep. The team is 2-1 in his starts. That's what matters.
