If this start by Sale was intended to be a confidence builder for him or us fans going into the PO's, it failed miserably.

Sale doesn't show the velocity or command that made him dominant. More work to do before the PO. Only 9 days or so before that. I hope the program will bring him along to close to his capability.
No idea, but it fools absolutely no one. He stands up so early that hitters know it's coming, and it is almost never a competitive pitch (just out of the zone). It's a ball from the moment it leaves the pitcher's hand, therefore it isn't even setting something else up.Originally Posted by Station 13
Leon calls for those pitches, but he usually just lifts the target a little higher rather than standing up.
What I don't get it there is nothing sacred about using the glove as the target. A pitcher can throw to a knee or a shoulder or a whatever. All that's required is that the catcher knows that's where it's going.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
Agreed especially this close to playoffs.
If Sale's history, as again proven this season, is that he is at his effective best 5 months out of a six month season, perhaps he should start pitching in May instead of April.

Swihart should totally make the PS roster
That Apple watch promo is to commercials what the O's are to baseball.
There's really no excuse that JBJ isn't a better bunter.
Seeing that Travis doesn't have a future with the SOX, I wonder if the O's would have any interest in him?
So, who pitches against the Yanks besides Porcello? Does Eovaldi get one more? Or is Rick the last of the starting rotation to get a final fling?
What do the Orioles' have in return? He's not going to get you much.

The only result in the post season that I would label an upset would be if a NL team won the WS.
First Sale doesn't look himself and now Barnes doesn't have command. Not a good night for Sox pitching going into the PO.
Maybe a mid ranked prospect, preferably a relief pitcher.
Best to get this stinker out of his system now
