Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:36 PM) My Rangers fan wife just saw Mark Teixeira and asked if the Yankees were the retirement home of MLB. I told her that, between Tex, Beltran, CC and ARod, they are. Even McCann could probably fit in this category. I like having one old vet like Rollins on the team, but I have no idea how anyone can get excited about a roster with six of them. Well they got them on gigantic contracts. I'm sure they regret it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only fear is that one of these days, one team is gonna get lucky and get hits off him on those balls in play. But then again, I think Chris can turn it on whenever he wants and throw 96-97 to get the Ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Chris is pitching to contact because he trusts this defense to make the plays, unlike the other teams he has been on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets into a man-on-third, one-out situation, he can rear back and get that K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Sale's evolution this year reminds me a lot of what Sabathia did to become such a dominant pitcher in 2007. Sabathia used to throw nothing but 94-97 MPH fastballs when he first came up. He was good, but not great. Then he started changing speeds on his fastballs. He'd have different variations, a lot like Chris right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
