Chicago White Sox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 24, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) One bad game? Have you looked at Saladino's entire body of work? Rollins has a significantly better OBP and OPS in a greater number of at-bats. Given that Tyler's numbers plummeted with increased exposure last year, I believe the same would happen this year if we let it go on. So that gap should widen. Also, despite his speed, Saladino's produced no steals, and been caught twice. Once due to an awful slide. His one advantage is defense, and I reject the notion that Rollins is so bad that his offensive superiority doesn't cover it. Rollins has a .483 OPS against RHP, making him arguably one of the worst hitters in baseball against such pitchers. Throw in defense and no logical argument can be made for Jimmy over Tyler.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Man I'm really enjoying this version of Chris Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Sale looking good so far but averaging about 14 pitches per inning. Would like to see a few single digit innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Sale looks like he's in slaughter-mode. If not for those weaks*** grounders sneaking through I'd say this was the strongest he's looked this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 You know Sale thinks this is a big game. He isn't even bothering to throw in the 89-91 range tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Plus it's a bit of a myth that strikeouts reduce inning count, more baserunners do, which is what you'll get eventually if you keep allowing more balls in play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stopped doing that. He has a 75% groundball rate the past couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
