Chris Sale needs Tommy John Surgery
bkzwhitestrican replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Here is a recent photo of Chris Sale, he seems to have put on a few pounds since last year

German did enough to keep the game manageable. I'd take 3 runs over 5 innings from my #5 starter against the Astros lineup everyday. The bullpen was stellar yet again and kept the Astros at 3 runs. With Britton and O'Day out the depth of the bullpen has really shined this first month. Chapman: 10.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 24 K Green: 17.2 IP, 1.02 ERA, 0.62 WHIP, 18 K Loaisiga: 17.1 IP, 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 17 K Luetge: 16.2 IP, 3.78 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 17 K Cessa: 12.2 IP, 1.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 17 K King: 11.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, 9 K O'Day (injured): 9.0 IP, 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9 K That just leaves Wilson who has looked shaky since coming off the IL (6.2 IP, 5.40 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 6 K) and Nick Nelson who was demoted because he's addicted to throwing his pitches middle-middle (8.1 IP, 9.72 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, 15 K).

I think it looked worse than it actually was just because Odor was running full speed. Wasn't a head on collision like in the old days.
-
Been a long time since I've heard that kind of energy at any sporting event. Should be a fun, tense, and stressful game. Good start so far. Up 1, with 2 men on and nobody out.
-
Rumor has it that the Yankees are one of Aaron Rodgers' top three trade destinations
-
I know fans shouldn't throw things onto the field for player safety, but I'd love to see a bunch of garbage cans thrown onto the field away from the players.
-
So we should actually be scoring runs while he is on the mound. The offense lets us down again.
-
s***** game with s***** luck. Go ahead run doesn't score in the 9th because the ball bounces over the wall, then lose in extras. Biggest take away for me is how horrible Hicks looks this season. He isn't hitting at all or making good contact, fielding is sloppy/making bad reads/slow for a CF, and his arm is a shell of what it used to be. That third O's run doesn't score against 90% of CFers. His throw home to end the game was weak and offline despite being able to settle under the ball. It's not like we have any better option for CF but at some point he has to produce, otherwise I'd just call up Florial. I'm sure he could hit .140 too, but at least play good defense.
-
Can never believe a word the Yankees say about injuries. They initially said they were sitting Judge yesterday just as a routine off day, then thye said he was a little sore but nothing to worry about. And now he's out again. Judge is awesome (when he plays) but I have a hard time seeing us re-signing him to the large contract that he'll probably demand.
-
Nice to see German put together back to back quality starts. Granted, they were against the punchless Guardians and the O's. His next start is against Houston so we'll see how he performs against a real lineup. But you can see the rotation starting to take form and pitch deeper into games. Hopefully it lasts.
-
Bahaha Degrom loses again. Has anybody ever been let down by his team more than that guy?
-
Lol you literally said they should send Gleyber down to the minors 12 hours ago
-
No chance that's happening. Anyway he's starting to hit a little better, though he still hasn't found his power: last 7 games .308/.379/.346
-
Shows what you know! Tauchman traded for a reliever with a career -0.2 WAR. Let the turnaround commence.
-
Matt Harvey has done nothing but throwing meatballs over the heart of the plate. Results through 5 innings? One single. So much for the O's pitching jump starting the offense. Maybe the lineup would have more luck against the alternate site team.
-
Some bad luck for Taillon in the 4th. Opened the inning with a bloop single, solid single, ground ball single, then wind aided HR. After that he struck out 2 out of the next 3. He was only at 80 pitches and could have probably came out for the 5th but Boone decided against it. Of course he went to Nick Nelson in a one run game who then made it a four run game. Oh well. Hopefully they can make the O's look like the O's these next several games.
-
I wouldn't say they're on fire, but the past several games the pitching has been good and the offense/defense has been mediocre rather than horrendous. The offense still looks out of whack, but it's easier to overlook after winning.
-
The only way for Stanton to get out of his slump is to play. I'd maybe stick him in the outfield and see if that gets him going. This would be my lineup for today (assuming Gio is back): 1. LeMahieu 2B 2. Judge RF 3. Urshela 3B 4. Stanton LF 5. Ford 1B 6. Torres SS 7. Hicks CF 8. Higashioka C 9. Sanchez DH
-
Another day another clown show. Basically 3 errors in the first inning (though home scorers gave their guys 2 hits) leads to 3 runs. Maybe if the Yankees had an extra 27 at bats they could score 3 runs and tie it up.
-
I mean if we're gonna point to coaches caught up in cheating, the Boston offense sure looks a lot better with Cora back. He did have a whole year off to think of techniques more advanced than garbage cans and buzzers.
-
The fact that Boston is playing so well right now while we're in the gutter is definitely an extra kick in the nuts. It's infuriating. A good amount of the question marks coming into the season for the Sox have been positive thus far (E-Rod coming back healthy and playing well, good version of Nate, Pivetta playing better than his career numbers, scrap heap relievers like Valdez/Andriese/Whitlock pitching great, Martinez returning to MVP form). The offense was expected to be good and it has been very good thus far, but in my mind I thought Boston had one of the worst rotations and bullpens in baseball coming into the year. Instead they've been pretty good. If they can some how keep it up then they'll be AL contenders. But again it's only April so we'll see how things unfold.

I voted no just because you posted this in the Yankees section
-
The short and ineffective starts by Taillon/Kluber/German have been manageable because of the bullpen, but I agree that cannot be a long term trend without burning out our top BP arms. Kluber and Taillion are both still building back up (please stop me if I'm still saying this in June), and even if you believe they're duds there's no way they're going to continue pitching to a combined 8 ERA. Really the problem is that 75% of the roster is severely underperforming right now, regardless of position.
-
Right, but what I'm saying is that though pitching and defense have been problems, the main problem is the offense. The Yankees averaged 5.39 runs/gm last year and 5.77 the season before, with largely the same offensive pieces. So far this year it's 3.67. No one expected the Yankees rotation or defense to be top of the league, but the expectation was that the offense would score so many runs that those deficiencies would be covered up.
