Balta1701 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) nope. empty pen Well, to be a little charitable, as hot as it is a warmup is 2 minutes for most guys out there. That said, someone ought to be throwing when the inning break hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Dude, there's been, like, 47 no-hitters/perfect games in the last five years. It's not even a big deal anymore. But striking out 20 doesn't happen every day. In fact it's only ever happened 3 times in baseball history. Now that would be special.

Jose Abreu Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If he does go out for the 8th, I sure hope we give him an extra day of rest before his next start. Maybe give Erik Johnson a spot start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's only ever happened 3 times in baseball history. Now that would be special. True. Striking out 20 is much more impressive than a no-hitter post-2010.

Chris Sale Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It wouldn't be awful management to let Sale pitch to one more hitter. Honestly, giving Sale a curtain call against the Cubs with a career-high strikeout total could be the best highlight for the rest of the season, and a few more pitches isn't gonna kill you.
