That's a good sign. However, Sale seems like the type that wants the ball every time out even when he isn't fully healthy, so hopefully he isn't pitching hurt.

 

oh man, that mean this makes the other debate moot. or is it mute??? ummm

Rick Hahn: Chris Sale isn't untouchable in trade talks -- but he's close. http://chicago.suntimes.com/baseball/7/71/...talks-hes-close

That's the way it should be. With his talent, age and contract a team would need to send an entire infield of MLB ready prospects/young players for him. No one is totally untouchable.

Like JR has said in the past, he's only ever had one player who was untouchable and he played basketball.

#WhiteSox were always going to throw Chris Sale on Sunday or later, no matter what. He's been a horse, wanted to give him a break.

Rick actually referenced that on Mully and Hanley, said something like "As Jerry said, the only untouchable player under him wore #23, and I am pretty sure that isnt Robin"

@CSNHayes According to Baseball Prospectus, Chris Sale leads all of MLB in Pitcher Abuse Points, so an extended break is not a bad thing.

What does that even mean? Is that some sort of advanced metric?

It's really simplistic. Abuse points for a game are (Pitch Count - 100)^3, so every additional pitch over 100 is a little bit worse than the one before it. Obviously 100 is an arbitrary number, and the 115th pitch in one game might be less stressful than the 95th in a different game. It does appear in BP's "Archaic" glossary, so I don't know if anybody takes PAP seriously or not.

Fred Hoiberg?

Ok so not Hoiberg or Robin...Jermaine Dye?

@miggymont26 Actually I thought you had a couple really good swings on him today. Just missed squaring up a couple of those foul balls.

@GoFreakingCubs I know but is ok I can deal with it

 

Mike ‏@ChiSoxFanMike 21m21 minutes ago

@miggymont26 @GoFreakingCubs You had absolutely no chance against him. But then again, pretty much no one does.

miguel montero ‏@miggymont26 20m20 minutes ago

@ChiSoxFanMike @GoFreakingCubs I don't think anyone did

Apparently, Sale is barely a top-20 pitcher in baseball.

"He's better than top 20 and probably more top 10 but a few I'd prefer over him?

 

Kershaw, Grienke, Bumgarner, Price, Archer, Keuchel, Cueto, Scherzer, Kluber, Arrieta, Gray"
