Swihart DFA

[moonslav59]

Maybe it is Salegate, if Chris cannot pitch effectively to Vazquez. They were chirping at each other all day. Sale needs to take charge if he doesn't like Vaz's catching ability or gamecalling. Leon will not be there next year.

If Leon only catches Sale and nobody else, he'll be worth keeping around.

2019 CERA with Sale:

2.61 w Leon
6.39 w Vaz

2018 was closer:
2.04 w Leon
2.27 w Vaz

2017 (Vaz caught 0nly 2 games)
2.63 w Leon
13.50 w Vaz

Career:
2.44 w Leon (350 inn)
4.37 w Vaz (78 Inn)

I am sure Leon is a fixture on this year's team, and maybe next also, if Chris Sale needs him. I just think that Sale should be able to pitch to a plywood backstop if he had to . He should make some sort of peace with Vaz because you can't spell Chris without the letters in Christian . Also, Sale may need a Vaz PH Pesky Pole HR to bail out one of his starts with Leon.

Sure CHRISTopher Sale shares letters with CV, but Leon spelled backwards is NOEL. That's a bigger importance IMO.

No wonder Noel's wife decided to give birth just so Ydnas would miss one of Christopher's starts, proving up Moon's stat based evidence that it's Sale/Leon forevermore.

Just please don't anybody use the word 'binky', okay? Man I hate that one.

You're just mad because you're a POLLYANNA.

Neither Leon, nor Swihart have done anything of significance since the trade. Swihart actually has more homers and a higher OPS. Leon has a 3.96 CERA.

I'm not talking offensively. Sale is clearly a better pitcher when pitching to Leon.

[Kimmi]

I've said the same, myself. It was Leon vs Swihart, and to me that choice was always clearly Leon.

It is interesting how Sale walked so many people today with Vaz.

Small sample size, but I'll be glad when Leon is back behind the plate for Sale's next start.

Sale also had a slower pace last night. He didn't look as comfortable as he usually does.

He and Leon are just on the same page. That's nothing against Vaz, it just is what it is.

This had me laughing a lot harder than it had any right to.

[Swiharts Ghost]

There is a very real possibility Blake gets DFA soon .The guys had like 20 at bats the last month .

[Bellhorn04]

That'll go down after today's 9 innings and 0 earned runs.

1 thing is pretty certain....whatever SCM states...the opposite will happen

Maybe he knows that, too, and is acting accordingly. He’s what Graham Nash called “King Midas in Reverse”...

[SCM33]

Leon's cERA going up fast.

I can play this game too.
