fathom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sale doesn't deserve many Cy Young votes. Very disappointing season for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be the Cy Young front runner if he didn't have to face the Twins...dammit. I'm serious when I say that they should never have him face the Twins again. He's always awful against them.

Yes, already 4-0, just going to enjoy the Bears actually having a 2nd half shot against GB for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) wow, ERA over 3.5 right now. Time to give him some extra rest the next few weeks. Also, how about trying a new catcher with him? Edited September 13, 2015 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Hahn should just walk out there and relieve Ventura and Cooper of their duties right now. Thompson should play center Edited September 13, 2015 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I would really like to see Sale paired up with Soto in his next start just to see what happens. A pitcher as good as he is should not be as bad as he has been pitching lately, and I think the blame has to partially be on Flowers for his pitch selection.

Balta1701 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) One team ERA in the top 1/2 of MLB in 7 seasons. Tied himself to Ventura Bye bye As I pointed out the last time someone said that one, between the White Sox playing in a park that often plays as an above average hitters park and the White Sox having had the 29th or 30th worst defense in MLB over the past 10 years, ERA isn't telling you everything, and both bWAR and fWAR find the White Sox pitching staff a lot better than ERA does. A top pitching staff and a 30th ranked defense probably still won't have an ERA in the top 1/2 of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm serious when I say that they should never have him face the Twins again. He's always awful against them. I just don't understand it. How can someone with his stuff not mow down their lineup? He has to be tipping something in his delivery. it's actually kind of embarrassing, because an ACE should not be avoiding any team. Expecially a division rival.

Tied himself to Ventura Bye bye So meaningless for a team that rarely spends on pitching (in part because of Cooper), has terrible defenses, and is otherwise effective. No idea how he's tied to Ventura considering he's been in the organization for 27 years now including under 3 managers as pitching coach.
