Looks like we need to win the ALCS without much reliance on Chris Sale. Just wonder if the stomach problem was a virus, bacterial (food poisoning) or ulcers ? In any case, he's not likely to be delivering an 8 inning shutout gem any time soon. Maybe in WS.
If he is going to be on the roster and Cora needs long relief in one game, better to keep Erod's head in the game. Can't be sure Sale will be up for a start Thursday
You missed the 2 HR's since the A-S game ?? Shame, they were beauties. Only 10 other Sox hit more, including Nunez and Swihart. Actually, he could forgo the HR's if he was truly a .295, contact hitter behind Betts, but was at .279 post All-Star.
My ass, get up 0-2 on Altuve, have to suffer through the Vazquez stand up 6' high FB to a 5'-4" guy, then 3 more breaking balls out of the zone from a guy who can throw 100mph, so you can pitch to Lucky Bregman
Far from finished, but Eovaldi is earning his stripes with one run through 4 and can maybe go a full 6 with another like the 4th. Got to get to Kuechel in the 5th with top of the order seeing him for 3rd time.
