June 9, 201510 yr I wouldn't call "doing something that hasn't been done since 2002" as "making history," but very cool nonetheless.

July 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 03:12 PM) Did Pedro get to 9 games? No, Sale would be the first to do it if he gets there.
July 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) No, Sale would be the first to do it if he gets there. That would be awesome but he will have to do it against a tough Blue Jays lineup on Monday. Stay tuned...

I do believe they've shuffled the rotation around and Sale will be going against Baltimore on Sunday. Also tough, but more manageable than Toronto, especially for a lefty.

July 2, 201510 yr http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/putting-chr...al-perspective/ I was hoping something like this would be written. Very cool article putting Sale's 8 game achievement in context of not the raw number of K's, but the likelihood of getting that number of K's in a game given the time period. The kicker is the chart at the very bottom... "the list of players with streaks of at least eight games when the rate of x-strikeout games was under 5%."
