The underhedline on this post is kind of classless. Sale is still a great pitcher. He did get hammered today. Anybody watch it? What was the problem? We saw some rare bad Sale starts with the Sox as well. Stuff happens.

 

Take a look for yourself...

He's a spaz that over-throws when the adrenaline flows, he misses his spots and gets hit hard, with experience and late season throttling, this may be avoidable. It's hard to tell how much is mental or physical, the total package just comes with this kind of pitcher.

He absolutely lacks the composure of Randy Johnson - imagine if he could develop that poise and maturity... Mercy!!

And when Sale's on, he's an even better pitcher than Johnson statistically. With that poise, he'd be another Kershaw

Helps make the Sox look a little smarter in dealing him, as bittersweet as it is to say. I'd be very disappointed in a performance like that from Sale had our Sox actually made the postseason with him.

Good lord - can you imagine the near suicide watch levels of disdain that would be going down if we experienced that. Eek.

In some respects, it’s warranted. The Red Sox didn’t acquire Sale to record 300 K’s in the regular season. They acquired him to be their ace and No. 1 ace in the playoffs. When you don’t even give your team much of a chance on the mound, you’ve failed, big time.

For sure - totally agree. I don't envy Red Sox fans and hope that for the next 6 years Kopech and Moncada just flat out KILL it and both become annual all-stars.
