im all for having either: 1. given him an extra day (which would have been 2 extra days with thursday's off day) and have him start tonight. 2. pulling him after the 5th inning what i am completely against is: leaving him in an 8-0 game to throw 111 pitches to get a personal goal. set those goalposts however they need to be set. i havent wavered.

what reason is there to send Chris Sale to the mound at 99 pitches to pitch the 8th inning of an (at the time) 8-0 ballgame? those are 12 more pitches on his arm. 12 pitches at that point of the game (99 pitches in + warmups) is stress on the arm. ever throw a ball 95 MPH? me neither. but it puts a lot of stress on the ligaments every time it is done. science.
-
no reason to send the pitcher out for the 8th inning in an 8-0 game except for personal goals. once the score was 4-0 in the 4th inning the game was over. That's the bottom line.

sorry Bell. i cant keep track of which numbers/stats are real and should be considered and which numbers/stats arent worthy.... how about this stat: For his career...Chris Sale is 57.8% better with 6+ days rest than he is with 5 days rest. (someone may want to check my math).... 5 days rest: 3.25 ERA (80 GS) 6+ days rest: 1.88 ERA (24 GS) stat worth considering? nah. let's just burn his arm up getting personal goals.
-
the computers at FanGraphs have factored in our discussion. odds have dropped 0.2% overnight. odds to win the division: 91.8% surely we can pitch Sale on 2 or 3 days rest?

While it would be nice for Sale to get 300 k's, I have no problem with Farrell pulling Sale from the game. 1. Sale has looked tired over his last handful of starts. 2. He Looked strong last night and with the extra rest he will be even stronger for the PLAYOFFS 3. He already gets an extra day off with today's off day. So the extra innings off will make him even stronger. 4. After his last couple of starts, letting him stay in and have a dominating outing, while earning his 300th K, has to be a boost to him mentally. You know, since we were playing against Baltimore B squad and some dude named pomeranz shut them out a whole 24 hours earlier. 5. There is no way Sale Should stay in the game for personal goals when we are set for the TEAM goal of a run at the World Series

His eyes got used to the lighting... -
The stats say we will win the division The stats say our ace is better when extra rested The stats say pitching = parades I love how all the usual "stat" folks are on this thread ignoring the stats and using one random year (2011) to dictate the final 10 games. Instead of, you know, the "stats"
-
FanGraphs just updated the %. i'm not sure why it's changed but we have moved to 92.0% win the division. nobody threw a pitch and it still increased as much as it did overnight after Sale threw 111 pitches.....

dang. my house getting blowed up equates to the play in game. -sadface-

i see your going with this defense: There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.'"

Davis stood at first base the other night and then got doubled up. he did himself no favors with that sequence. but he's got to be the 4th OF, no? holt, nunez, rajai. no chance travis is eating a roster spot. -

UPDATE. 10 GAMES TO GO. 88-64 1st place in the division. FanGraphs odds to win the division: 92.0% (+0.7%) 3 Games ahead of MFY. -
FWIW....those 111 bullets were wasted for 0.4%. Red Sox to win the division: 91.7%.
-
90%. before JF decided to allow Sale to throw 111 pitches against Baltimore's B team.....
-
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=salech01&year=Career&t=p scroll down to "Days of Rest" and see if you still feel the same way...
-
its the same lineup that Pomeranz dominated the night before. actually even easier...no machado. pretty sure i could have pitched 5 scoreless last night....
-
and we scored how many runs last night? fillintheblank could have won that start last night and Sale would have all those bullets still in his arm. btw - 90% is 90%. it's 90% for a reason...not some random number.
-
or we can look at actual numbers. either way.
-
we arent talking about "the guy". we are talking about Chris Freakin' Sale. and this is Chris Freakin' Sale on 6+ days of rest: 1.88 / 0.978 whip REST HIM.
-
