August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 12:42 AM) I'll wait to see his non- Indians starts before I judge Wasn't he roughed up last weekend?
August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Wasn't he roughed up last weekend? 7 innings, 4 runs vs Yankees.Not awesome, not awful. 5 of his 6 starts before then were dominant. Except for the Indians.
August 30, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) 7 shutout innings, 3 hits, 0 walks, 11 k Your move, Corey Kluber. He can pull a Bumgarner in the playoffs as long as they don't face the Indians.
August 30, 20178 yr Sale became the fastest pitcher in MLB history to reach 1500 strikeouts, doing so in 1,290 total innings. Amazing considering how he came up out of the bullpen first and has pitched in just the AL.

Amazing considering how he came up out of the bullpen first and has pitched in just the AL. But it's fastest to 1500 K based on innings, so pitching out of the pen was to his advantage in this accomplishment.
September 4, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) Starting his late season fade again? Another bad September start...
September 4, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 09:02 PM) Another bad September start... They should have left him in. Addison Reed didn't help much.
September 4, 20178 yr The difference between last year and this is that Sale doesn't have to face the ALC as often. If he were in the Central still, his numbers would be similar to 2016. Not trying to take anything from Sale, he's a great pitcher, but for the most part the Central teams have hit him well.

Wait until the AL East gets the book on him. He might not be as good as he was with our Sox going forward. Sale is a bit of a headcase. He reminds me of Crazy Carlos Zambrano. Also, I think Kluber has overtaken him for AL Cy Young. Edited September 13, 20178 yr by Jack Parkman
September 13, 20178 yr Think many of us may have jumped the gun in handing Chris the Cy Young award earlier, Kluber is definitely taking control.

Sale is a bit of a headcase. He reminds me of Crazy Carlos Zambrano. Also, I think Kluber has overtaken him for AL Cy Young. The ALC adapted so there's no reason to think the ALE will not do the same. The Yanks have hit Sale the last few times so it looks like they've adapted. Yeah, Sale is a bit of a headcase but he still falls short of Zambozo. Sale is intense but Zambozo was just plain nuts. At least Sale didn't fight with his catcher, lol. As for the CY. Not sure if I'd take Kluber or Sale at this point. Strong arguments can be made for both. Edited September 13, 20178 yr by BlackSox13
September 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 07:57 AM) The White Sox finally got Chris Sale into the playoffs! He's gonna be bananas to watch - regardless of results the dudes going to be off the rails.
September 27, 20178 yr Author Sale's Cy is going to have to wait for another year. Edited September 27, 20178 yr by flavum
September 27, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Sale's Cy is going to have to wait for another year. He had a monster year this year and is still probably going to fall short. I'm starting to doubt he ever gets one.

September 27, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Sale's Cy is going to have to wait for another year. I would still give it to him. He leads Kluber in fWAR by a full win.
