caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) That's awesome Neshek made it after what he's gone through. I always confuse him with Cishek, haha. He's the one who used to bedevil us with the Twins and has a funky delivery and has gone through a horrendous series of injuries and persevered, right?

caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) Kazmir and Buerhle were less deserving than Sale, but Kluber was snubbed also and is definitely more deserving. It's that respect issue with managers always giving the nod to players from perennial playoff-contending teams over the Klubers and Richards of the world, who are enjoying their first unqualified seasons of success. Unless it's someone like Felix Hernandez. But there's no way that ASG manager is going to snub Scherzer...doesn't happen.

Kershaw threw a no hitter, the Dodgers are leading the NL West by 1/2 game, he's in the 2nd biggest media market in the U.S. and he has 5X the name recognition of Sale. His not being included is even more of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sale: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 8-1, 188 ERA+, not an AL All-Star. Sale pitching in the American League with a DH makes those numbers more impressive for Sale.

cabiness42 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ask any left-handed hitter in the American League? Which pitcher do you hate facing more: Sale or Buehrle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) What's with all of the relief pitchers? Is that some rule? There are numerous starters better than any of those relief pitchers. Watch them put Samardzija on the AL team if a spot opens up. Edited July 6, 2014 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2336 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 i will say that injuries to sale hurt his chance when looking up numbers to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Should be an easy final vote win for Sale. No Yankees or Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
