It was not a wrong move to let Kimbrel close out that game, it was his job to do that. Sucks for Sale pitch yet another gem and has nothing to show for it.
What are really concerned about here? Sale's individual win record?
I can't believe change and sportswriters are arguing that a pitcher should have been allowed to throw a complete game in April. Do the Sox really need to disk putting Sale on the DL with Price?
Sale was at 102 pitches after 8, but if a couple of Jays batters got on or had long at-bats, he might have ended up at 125 pitches.
The thought would be to yank him, if one guy gets on, unless it was an IF single or blooper or yank him if 2 guys get on or he's near 115-120 pitches with 0-1 outs and a guy at second.
I've already said, I have no problem bringing in Kimbrel, but certainly at 102 pitches a case can be made, April or not, for leaving him in for a few more pitches.
