the list was

10. Darvish

9. Teheran

8. Kluber

7. Sale

6. Price

5. Wainwright

4. Richards

3. Cueto

2. Kershaw

1. Hernandez

 

Pretty awful list.

 

How in the heck is Scherzer not even on the list and Sale #7? Cueto 3? Richards 4? You gotta be bleeping me!

 

IMO it's:

 

Kershaw

Sale

Felix

Scherzer

Darvish

 

And then a clear 2nd tier starting with maybe Price, Wainright and flavor of the week.

 

Cueto and Richards this high is a joke. You can def chalk those stupid picks up to "guys that are good I watch on TV more often than other guys that are better".

I don't think there's much of an argument that Sale is better than Felix at the moment.

Sale has the better record, WHIP, more complete games, walks less people, gives up less hits, doesn't throw a s*** ton of wild pitches. Felix has the better ER numbers, strikes out slightly more, and has pitched 7 more starts due to Sale's DL trip. There's certainly an argument to be made for Sale but the numbers are all very close except for starts made.

If we win tonight we will only be 4 games out

Uh, Mr. Wite. If the Sox do indeed end up 4 games back, that puts the Sox dangerously close to Paris Hilton territory. I'm scared! :ph34r:

If the Sox win the next 4 and get to 54-54 with 54 left, I'll give them about a 10% shot of being the road team for the wildcard.

 

I guess it's possible 85-77 wins it. So 35-23. It'll be tough, but stranger things have happened.

And Sale pitches in a park that is a hitter's park while Safeco is a pitcher's park.

We are now 5 back again and finally made the MLB Network graphic of the AL standings!!

Agreed. Felix has been the best pitcher in the AL this year and if it wasn't for Kershaw, he'd be the best pitcher in baseball.
