    Trade him? They pretty much gave him away.

    technically, it was a trade. but yeah. and for a team that needed starting pitching worse than a middle infielder. it was beyond fucking stupid.

    It’s definitely turned out that way so far.

    Like I have been saying about Sale for years - his issue isn’t talent…

    The Braves could lose 20 in a row, go into sell mode, and give Sale back to the Red Sox and it wouldn't matter. On the flight back to Boston, turbulence would cause him to hit his head on the overhead rack, and he'd miss the entire second half with a concussion.

    And the turbulence wouldn't even come from storms or angry birds -- just indigestion from a passenger sitting in front of Chris.

    Of course Sale wouldn’t get injured by Angry Birds. That’s more of a David Price thing…

    No doubt, although even when pitching over the last 4 years, he rarely looked like vintage Sale.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Or for most of 2019. That’s why this bounce back has only been predicted by pessimists and liars…

    Still spewing the same old crap. A change of scenery, a better team, good health, and bingo a CY type performance so far from Sale. It really wasn’t that hard to see that coming. It still puzzles, and bothers you for some reason, but then that’s not surprising at all.🙈🤭

    From a guy who said he didn’t mind seeing Sale go but thought the Sox overpaid to have him gone. Now see there nothing wrong with that particular criticism. But now you keep fabricating this “prediction” that it was easy to see Sale bouncing back. Just like you kept fabricating shit I said just so you could taunt me…

    Taunt you? Wha, wha, wha. True I said I didn’t mind seeing Sale go, and I also said I didn’t like paying the Braves $17M, and I still don’t, and I also said I thought Sale would stay healthy, and have a good year with the Braves being a better team. All is true, and this has been gone over 100 times already. Once again post 333 has been mentioned more than once, so you can stick to your fabrication story all you want, and also your so called taunting. You know like BA, highlights, and box scores, and many more. The pot calling the kettle black. OMG.

    Post 333 mentions nothing of the sort and was a result of an argument between you and Hugh. If you’re going to be that guy who likes calling other peoples suggestions wrong, you really need to be more accurate about your own stuff.

    Still think I was wrong for wanting Houck and Crawford extended?

    Post 135 on the Red Sox Gio thread. Read it, and weep.
