There's 4 teams, maybe 5, in the AL that are better than the best team in the NL. IOW, the odds are which ever AL team gets to the WS will win the WS. Why not us?
As usual, the HP umpire sux. I wonder if the league, which must be aware of the putrid job being done behind the plate, will do anything about it when the season's over? Hitting the umps with foul balls to get them out of the game is only a temporary fix.
So who's the better pitcher? Kluber or Sale? They both have ace stuff and great stats. The deciding difference in my opinion is that Kluber gives his team 6 months of quality starts, while Sale only gives the SOX 5 months.
In defense of Sandy Leon: Sandy is batting under .200, but he does provide excellent defensive catching. The starting catcher for the Yankems is batting .185 and provides nothing close to excellent defensive catching. He actually sux as a catcher. And his 2 passed balls in the bottom of the 1st helped give the A's a 4-0 lead.
