Adam Dunn with career home run No. 460. It surprises me that no team has traded for him as a power bat for September.

dunn has to have some value for another team. Would we get anything in return if we cover all his money, the way things are looking now we will be paying all his money anyway, might as well get something for it.

Nice catch Eaton!

This game is already over

 

 

Well u was wrong.

Ha, strange game!

If Sale gets his s*** together he still has a shot at the Cy Young. Felix has been pretty bad the last 3 starts.

Flowers has so much power, he just doesn't know how to use it right.

Watch...tonight will be a 2-1 game.

Felix has been pretty bad the last 3 starts.

The problem is, Sale has looked pretty bad recently, too.

Eaton just missed a triple. Nice catch by Hunter.

Torii Hunter, showing people you can play the game of baseball past age 35.

Perhaps the Sox are looking at the bigger picture here, knocking Scherzer around and knock his contract next year into their price range?

Not enough innings

Sale at 75 pitches. 3 more innings would be nice, but it's going to have to be quick.

I hate the wide belief that on 0-2, you have to be safe and pitch way out of the zone. All it does is elevate your pitch count. If you're going to try to strike him out, then don't wait until you've thrown 2-3 balls in a row.

KKKKKKKKK (9). Sale finally beats V-Mart.

KKKKKKKK

Mostly on fastballs too. Trax has him at 96.1 most of the game.

Seeing what Abreu and Eaton have done this year, and the money coming off the books, they should be able to field a team next year with pretty high expectations. Should be an interesting winter.

Triple Crown Update-

.318 (.014 behind Altuve)

98 RBI (4 ahead of Ortiz)

33 HR (1 behind Cruz)

Avi can't hit the fastball.

I had to look this up to verify. He's at .199 since 5/1.

Stupid question, can you tell me where you can look up stats by dates like that?

According to WAR, it's his worst season since 2000.

 

Touche...Guess his D isn't as good as he made it appear on that play (-19.2 D-WAR)...Still ranked 77th in the league in O-WAR with a 6.4.

 

(I think I used those O/D WAR terms correctly lol)

Well, Sale was awesome after the first inning.

Got to feel for the kid Suarez. Twice he just missed getting hits off Sale then proceeds to strikeout.
