GDT 4/1: Sale - Business Man’s Special

[Mrs. Meta]

AA needs to get Baldwin on one of those team friendly extensions

We talking like Ozzie kinda friendly? Cuz omg daaaayum

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Sale needs to come out after the 5th. The pens plenty rested. We need to protect him. I want people on both sides of him when he walks down the stairs to the dugout.

still a lot of games to go before the next day off. I would run him to 80-90 pitches before even thinking about pulling him.. then don't use R. Saurez at all today.

 

[CyYoung31]

That AB from Baldwin was Estrada-esque.

 

[msstate7]

Thankful for that HR now. Don't trust Weiss to pull sale with no hits

If he wasn’t 37 years old and made of glass, I’d agree.

90 pitches is nothing when they are zero stress pitches. If Sale is going to get hurt then he's going to get hurt. Limiting him to 70 pitches in an outing isn't going to stop that.

he is at 80 pitches, so it could go either way.. I would have Bido/Kinely/Pampers keyed up with Bummer/Lee/Iggy as emergency standbys

 

[Enscheff]

Acuna seems to get dumber every year.

 

[msstate7]

Acuna, please go back to your old stance.

 

[CyYoung31]

90 pitches is nothing when they are zero stress pitches. If Sale is going to get hurt then he's going to get hurt. Limiting him to 70 pitches in an outing isn't going to stop that.

Sure, Bud. Let’s just let him throw 150 pitches.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

wtf is R. Saurez in a 5-1 game...

 

[The Tariff King]

I was so embarrassed for Ozzie that they even had a press conference to announce that extension.

That contract was so embarrassingly low compared to what Acuña got a few weeks before that.

 

[Carp]

Chris Sale is the best SP we've had since Smoltz returned to the rotation. True or False?

 

[mfree80]

This has loss written all over it

I keep looking for “Loss” written anywhere on this game. Just not seeing it

Sorry, I was hacked

 

[bravesfanMatt]

While I do appreciate that twit jr. used R. Saurez for the heart of the A's order in the 7th inning, I am still trying to understand why you warm him up and use him with a 4 run lead and a tough 4 game series coming up.. 2-1 game, then I get it.

 

[Carp]

A 4 run lead is definitely the limit I would throw Suarez. But the BP isn't exactly taxed. Should have gone with Bido or Kinley.

 

[Carp]

Man Drake is just dialed in. Completely robbed there.

that can change very quickly.

False. Aaron Harang.
