In my years of following the SOX I think it's safe to say that Sale is the best LH I've ever seen pitch for Boston. I also believe it's safe to say he's the best LH pitcher in baseball.
Actually, the only thing I said that was crap is Cora's very stupid rule that when he gives a player a day off, said player can't even pinch hit. Imho, that's crap.
When one says something stupid, one can deny it later. When one posts something stupid, it's there forever. Just something you may want to consider in the future.
It's sad the things we know that Cora doesn't. I wish I could say this was the 1st time, but I'd be lying. I used to give Farrell the nickname "in spite of." Cora's heading in that direction.
Seriously, why is it when Sale pitches a great game, we always say Sale pitched a great game. We never say boy, that other team just can't hit? But, we can never compliment an opposing pitcher for doing the same thing.
The main reason a pitcher is considered good is because most batters find him hard to hit. See, if the pitcher was easy to hit, he wouldn't be considered good.
