When listing starting pitching, the two stats that I believe give the most indication of the pitcher's season is ERA and WHIP.
Based on Sale's WHIP 1.02, his ERA 3.59 is unusually high.
If you were informed before the season started that the SOX Ace would be 3-7 at the exact half-way point of the season, what would you have guessed the SOX W/L record would be?
The SOX home record is 20-19. They're away record is 24-18. Although this London two game series is listed as SOX home games, I'm putting those on the away ledger.
Far away.
Btw, I wonder if the Royal Pudding Family will be at the game?
England already has cricket. Why the hell do they have to be exposed to baseball? If anyone answered MONEY, you are correct. In fact, most answers to professional baseball questions are Babe Ruth and MONEY.
Speaking of checked swings, who can ever forget when Jim Rice checked his swing and cracked his bat? Strong as bull and there weren't any weight rooms then. And then there were the legends of his 400 yard drives in golf.
