This is a huge game for Sale's Cy Young hopes. He was awful against Boston last time, he needs to have a really good rebound outing.

I promise, I'll let you know the minute Sale becomes a Cy candidate for this season. Until then, he's not even close.

He's top 5 at the very worst. The only ones that would possibly win it over him are Gray, Price, and Keuchel. Maybe Archer if he finishes strong.

I would love to see what Thompson can do against a righty.....

 

Porcello isn't even good, if this were Kluber or King Felix starting tonight, I can see why.

FWIW, B/R picked Sale to win AL Cy today due to FIP, xFIP, etc. ERA is really the only thing not in Sale's favor.

Sale is attempting to become the second pitcher to strike out 14+ in 3 straight starts (Pedro Martinez). Chris is the only reason I'll be watching tonight.

Same here. I'm hoping he can lower his ERA to 3.25 tonight as well. Baby steps, right?

They wasted their challenge so early, but the umps will still give them a review if they want one.

 

That rule makes no sense to me. They might as well have no limits on challenges if managers can just ask for one whenever.

He's definitely out.

He leads the AL in virtually every category besides ERA and IP, I'd say he's definitely in the top 2, maybe 3.

LaRoche is trash.

Seriously abre.....err laroche??

what is LaRoche good at?

Too many pitches for Sale. Not gonna have a long game tonight at this rate.

This would be a GREAT time for a blow-em-away pitch

Sale's velocity way down tonight? Seeing bunch of 90 and 91mph

He struck out Ramirez with 97 and 98s so, I dunno.

Verlander 9 outs away.
