Sale is back...the contact is a steal !!! If we didn’t have such a thing as hot takes, think of how little conversation there would be in the game threads. 😀

Tough night for Sale skepticism. Hitting 95, 96, locating, throwing his slider. Looking forward to next year!

How is it that Devers has been caught stealing 8 times this year? Why is he trying to steal at all? The few bases he might steal are not worth the chance of him getting hurt sliding. And he is not exactly Lou Brock.

Marco Hernandez does many things well. I’m enjoying his season.

Maybe this time they will let Marco stick. Impressive how he makes the most of his opportunities.

Marco Hernandez is a valuable piece. He also exhibits the fitness revolution in baseball: dude is big! Reserve middle infielder with those shoulders! When I was a kid, it was still the age of Keith Hernandez smoking in the dugout. Amazing.

When I was a kid, it was still the age of Keith Hernandez smoking in the dugout. Amazing. that is funny. like watching a movie from the 70's and people smoking on a plane. I mean, how different is that. And I was a smoker for 25 years (quit couple of years ago). That is something else.

I think that Santana HR pissed Sale off. 5 of 6 hitters have struck out since.

I was ready to bitch about Sale needing to get his HR problem under control - and he does - but it's really hard to blame him for that one. That's just a fly ball. This is probably the only year in modern baseball history where that's anything but an out.

And Chris Sale has a mediocre outing. In current era it's a quality start.

And Chris Sale has a mediocre outing. I assume this is sarcasm. The second homer is disappointing, but he’s been good.

Can we ALL agree — set aside differences a moment — that Sandy has to go? There are many, many pitchers I’d prefer to see hitting in that spot instead of him.

hard to get mad at the kid for all the good hes done tonight. Just kind of falls in line with the whole damn season. Let's Go !!

Devers error. Another big one.

I was thinking they should walk Lindor. Ah, well.
I am still psyched about how Sale looks. 97 in the 7th.

i don't care...he pitched way better having 5 runs cross the plate. I didn't like that match up though, and I blame that on Cora.
