August 12, 20187 yr Sale became the first pitcher at the current mound distance (since 1893) to throw five or fewer innings while allowing one or fewer hits and striking out at least 12 batters, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
August 12, 20187 yr Sale taken out after five with 12k’s. Maybe we should have demanded more in that trade? Lol

Maybe he's changed, but he was a big ass baby when he was with the Sox. No thanks, don't care who you are, but if you're gonna cry every time you dont get your way, you can leave. The Q trade was a million times more disappointed than the Sale was at the time it happened (because of who Q was).

But he seems very content in Boston right now. Obviously the year they are having helps and Cora and staff has been very popular with the players so far.

August 13, 20187 yr Will be interesting to see if the DL stint delays the arrival of "September Sale." Edited August 13, 20187 yr by 35thstreetswarm

Like when the team wants you to wear uniforms that prevent you from doing your job well? I think I will gladly take the elite talent every time. Sale is a H-O-F type player and the best pitcher the Sox have had in my 36 years. The fact that they had to trade him because they couldn't build around him still irritates me.

Dennis Eckersley said a few weeks ago that he felt Sale has the best stuff of any pitcher he has ever seen in person.

Or like whenever he would pout and throw a hissy fit when he would give up a few hits late in the game, get all mad, then all of a sudden he's throwing batting practice. Wasn't just in the clubhouse. Was on the field too. I don't care if he is a HOF type pitcher. What good is a pitcher to your staff anyway if he (esp your ace) can't win in high leverage situations?

The actual best player anyone alive has ever seen plays on a team that has been perennially bad. Moral of the story: One player isn't enough in baseball. Sox still did the right thing for where they were. Edited August 14, 20187 yr by AustinIllini

August 14, 20187 yr As others have said, I just hope he doesn't resign with the Red Sox, gets a new deal with an opt out, uses it, and basically never spends more than 3-4 years on any team and then the Sox have a chance at being on his HoF plaque! Of course if he wins a couple of Cy Youngs and World Series with the Red Sox....then shit.
August 14, 20187 yr He is fantastic but sox had to trade him because they were going to suck anyway the next years. They got a great return too with a then 70 fv prospect in moncada and a 55 in kopech. Basabe has turned into a 50 too so overall it was a great trade, hopefully moncada can turn into a 3+ win player at least.
