After? You didn't already know before?

 

Funny how Davidson was raking the past two or three years in ST, goes down to AAA, and is horrid. This was his worst ST statistically and he's been raking so far in the bigs.

Is Santana suddenly really good or is the Sox lineup just really bad? Combo of both maybe?

 

Yes to both. Great location for Santana and this was simply a terrible lineup put out by RR

I watched Santana 1 hit the Sox over 9 when he was with the Angels... gave him a standing O with my Sox hat off. When he's on he's amazing.

Idiotic to publicly try and trade a guy and expect him to pitch like normal. He's a human being and the distraction would be too much for anyone. Hahn really screwed this 1 up

 

Good point. Q may be mentally shot after all the trade talk.

I suspect the trade talk has started to make an impact. The guy is human...how could it not?

 

Plus as per usual, they can't score runs for him. That may finally be bothering him more than the trade talk.

Probably so, but they had last trade deadline to get this done, all off-season to get this done.

Responsibility and accountability for this (and the last 4 years), or excuses?

18 runs given up against the Twins in his last three starts against the Twins dating back to September 1st.

 

That's 75% of his poor numbers right there.

 

In his other 6 starts, he's given up a much more reasonable 16 runs. KC and Detroit got him for another 10. Weird.

 

Essentially, the AL Central is squashing his trade value. And it's not even the Indians.

If he is truly that weak mentally, he is not a #1 pitcher.

He's not. He's had 2 bad games, it happens. People are going to speculate any time something doesn't go completely right with him this year. This guy has proven time and time again that he can handle adversity, he'll be fine.

Chris Sale might go winless and still win the Cy Young, haha.

 

1.27 era and 12 k's but headed for a no decision, potentially.

 

Sawx need to score this inning.

 

But really, I wonder if baseball will ever just discontinue Wins, Losses, and Saves. They are completely meaningless, but are so hard to ignore.

If he is pitching poorly due to the trade rumors in the off season, I think that qualifies as having issues mentally. The was the to the statement that he may be pitching poorly due to the off season rumors.

 

I never said that this was the case. I was just responding to the poster who said it could be.
