There you go. Now root for him to strike out the side.

I hope they still fix it after the game. I guess it can help his WHIP

That last pitch to Gutierrez was unhitable

filthy, disgusting, to a horrible inning.

 

 

ugggggggggghhhhhhhh

don't matter anymore.

 

he's out of the race.

Quick implosion by Sale. Not sure why you call two straight outside change-ups to a guy with a slow bat.

Crap.

Mark Trumbo really is an ideal #6 hitter

don't matter anymore.

No he isn't. He's still in the top 3 or 4 if the voting ended today.

There's no way he wins it though. His ERA is too high. That matters to voters, apparently.

Comes back with a couple strikeouts. 14 thru 7

That should be it for Sale. Another mediocre strikeout performance

Feels like Sale is officially out of the Cy Young race now with that homerun. Disappointing.

.249/16/46 is not horrible for a #6 hitter.

If I'm Robin, I'd go Jones-Robertson. But I feel like he'll put Sale back out

All it takes is for Gray or Keuchel to have a bad outing (and they will at some point), and his ERA won't look so bad.

51st out of 56 in terms of fWAR for outfielders. He's basically been as bad as Melky and Avi this year.

I wasn't talking about defense, though. I'm sure his fWAR is so bad mostly because of his defense.

Fernando Rodney is so inconsistent... he'll have a great year and then a terrible year

-4.1 offense

I stand corrected then. That is a little surprising to me. It's not like he's on pace for 200 strikeouts or struggling to stay above .200.

Hey, even LaRoche gets a hit

Assuming 8 more starts, Sale needs to average 9.75 Ks per outing to get to 300.
