June 26, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 26, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) The power that Tim Anderson has shown makes me very optimistic. His bat is lively. He can hit and will develop IMO. His defense has been fine also. Need Jackson back, acquire a bat and another reliever and maybe just maybe we can win a wildcard.
June 26, 20169 yr Chris Sale is hands down the best pitcher in the American League and it's not even a little bit close.
June 26, 20169 yr seems like they hit bottom and are starting to get back on track. Nice to see the fight.

June 26, 20169 yr This win sponsored by the Beatles "Blue Jay Way" . Even though it sounds like the title of a Blue Jay win,I had to use it because hardly any songs have Blue Jay in the title and it's the last game of the season against the Jays.
June 26, 20169 yr Grab 8-4 in these next 12 before the ASB & they should be in solid shape. If they truly are going to go for it, Morneau & Jackson should be close to ready after the break. Add that in with another bat & a pen arm or two & they MAY be able to compete for a 2nd WC spot.

June 26, 20169 yr I found this interesting just because of how much has been made of his different approach this season: Christopher Kamka @ckamka Chris Sale through 16 starts 2015: 2.80 ERA, 112.1 IP, 84 H, 22 BB, 147 K 2016: 2.79 ERA, 113.0 IP, 88 H, 23 BB, 109 K #WhiteSox
June 26, 20169 yr Since I realistically don't think this team can contend (because they simply can't beat teams in their division other than Minnesota...so far anyway) I at least hope they can have a winning season when it's all done record-wise and Sale gets to 20 victories. Mark

I don't see the new approach as really contributing to anything other than maybe keeping his arm healthy? A 1.1 IP difference seems pointless IMO.

Agree. Stressful pitches as well.

Impressive to find Blue Jay in a title.
