lasttriptotulsa Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Chris Sale reached the 1000 innings pitched mark yesterday. Baseball Reference uses a 1000 inning minimum to qualify for their "all time" leader boards. Here are a his rankings in a few categories: WHIP - 10th - 1.0615 All time leader - Addie Joss - .9678 K/9 - 3rd - 10.12 All time leader - Randy Johnson - 10.60 K/BB - 2nd - 4.724 All time leader - Tommy Bond - 5.036 ERA+ - 15th - 140 All time leader - Mariano Rivera - 205 Pretty impressive. Hopefully it continues for another couple thousand innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Very interesting stats, thanks for sharing! I got a good chuckle last night when people in the game thread thought he was regressing. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 This is his 7th year being a dominant pitcher and his 5th being a dominant starter. His consistency is unheralded, Kershaw aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Sale is awesome and coming into his prime. Hopefully this is the year he put everything together...33 starts, 230+ innings, ERA under 2.80, Win A Cy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Sale's 16 starts to the Cy: 7-8 vs Atl 7-18 at Sea 7-23 vs Det 7-28 at Cubs 8-3 at Det 8-9 at KC 8-14 at Mia 8-20 vs Oak 8-26 vs Sea 8-31 at Det 9-5 vs Det 9-11 vs KC 9-16 at KC 9-21 at Phi 9-26 vs TB 10-1 vs Min Make all of your starts! (of course this might change with rain, wildcard setup) Edited July 3, 2016 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(of course this might change with rain, wildcard setup) Pretty sure he'll start one of those games against the Angels 7/15-7/17. He doesn't need 10 days off, the ASG isn't that strenuous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale isn't going to take ten days off from the mound (for us). He'll pitch one of the first few games after the break.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they gave him a little extra time off. He's had a pretty heavy workload in the first half and he'll probably start the All Star game. He's gotten extended rest every year he's been a starter around the break. He was given 12 days between starts in 2012, 11 in 2013, 12 in 2014 and 8 in 2015. He didn't pitch in the 2015 game which probably accounts for the shorter rest. Edited July 5, 2016 by lasttriptotulsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3GamesToLove Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) His consistency is unheralded, Kershaw aside I think you mean "unmatched," since whether or not his greatness/consistency is heralded doesn't jibe with "Kershaw aside."
