If the Sox kept Sale and he went down again, I’m sure lots of people would understand. Probably lots of people in favor of picking up his option for next year as well. Hey, eventually we can count on him…
-
Heard that as well…
-
For the last couple years, everyone said “you can’t count on Sale.” But this year its changed to “they should have counted on Sale.”
-
Houston built a great farm, although it’s fairly depleted now. Their most impactful rookies this year have been Joey Loperfido (since traded) and Roniek Blanco, whose been kicking around their organization for 8 years…
-
Bloom also inflated the Sox farm system by taking more low risk position players in order to bulk up prospect quantity. Houston is a great example of this strategy. Those three number one overall picks included one shortstop and two pitchers. The shortstop has been an All Star multiple times. Both pitchers were complete busts who combined for 10 IP in the majors, with those all occurring 10 years after being drafted…
-
And you’ve done nothing but tell you what a genius you are since, despite clearly missing the point of this thread for only 2 months…
-
What’s this? The third time since the All Star break they’ve had a lead of 2 or more runs with three outs to go and lost? It’s at least the third…
-
Most ball players are superstitious to some extent…
-
5 IP this year. None since May 14th. Is he even healthy?

It’s an amazing story stilll. Sale made his first All Star game in 6 years. I’m not sure if anyone has ever had a gap that large between All Star appearances. Sale is on track to win his first Cy Young. After 4 years of all but not playing! And at age 35! NL Comeback Player of the Year is already clinched. And clearly not enough. He should get Comeback Player of the Century…

Your technical issues are from the site. I’m having them too. I also wonder if the bike accident wasn’t a bigger deal. Many athletes have activities like that prohibited for that very reason - injury. Like Aaron Boone’s infamous basketball injury that lead to the ARod trade. If Sale was violating his contract with extracurricular activities, it’s another possible contributor to wanting to move him …
-
Getting hit by a comebacker is a definitely fluke injury. Ditto the bike accident, although I’m surprised riding a bike wasn’t contractually prohibited. (Was it?) I am hesitant to label breaking a rib while throwing a pitch as part of that same category, however…
-
Texas has had one season above .500 since 2017. And THIS is the season you can’t believe? (Hint: Maybe 2023 was the fluke.)
-
Was it the Pfister Hotel? Very haunted! Of course, so are most of the Airbnb’s in that neighborhood…
-
Hindsight makes lots of decisions easier. Also makes lotteries more winnable…
-
But wasn’t Sale a big part of the reason the Sox were needy in that area? From 2020 through 2023, he was the highest paid pitcher on the Sox each year, making iver $100mill in that timeframe, and in that 4 year stretch, he pitched 151 IP with a record of 11-7, 3.93. Was he part of the problem or part of the solution?

But always derogatory. And Duran is a professional ball player who used it on a paying customer. Not common in that instance, either. It didn’t mean he’s a bad person; just a guy whose emotions got the best of him. A two game punishment is fine…
-
What if Texas kicks in half? Not unprecedented…

Fatigue leading to reduced velocity? https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kutter-crawford/20531/graphs?position=P&statArr=6&legend=1%2C2&split=base&time=daily&ymin=&ymax=&start=2022&end=2024&rtype=mult>1=15&dStatArray=FA
-
I’m sure Texas would kick in a rather significant portion…
-
They made one and never got to use him. The problem was not replacing Giolito. Montgomery was available and I think Snell might have been as well…
-
There’s been a migration towards acceptance of casual profanity for a while now. I remember when you couldn’t say “damn” on network TV, and now I go to a priest who says “no you f***ing didn’t!” to me during confession…
-
Was there a time when what Duran did was considered polite?
