His pitching style is the perfect combination of beauty and rage. He's an artist, yes but there's nothing delicate about Sale. Although his slider is deceivingly slow, it's' got so much movement. His fastball is explosive and his changeup is sensational. Sale makes guys look really bad and just overpowers them. He's overdue for a couple of no-hitters.
MVPFLF that deception man...also you hear Ml'ers say it's not the velocity of his breaking ball, it's the acceleration in the break. Almost like the ball speeds up after it starts breaking. When he's touching the mid-to-upper 90s he becomes unhittable Because unless you guess, there's no way to cover three different movements at three different velocities.
his pace is entertaining as it gets as well. If sale is going up against another ace like a Scherzer you know itll be like a 2.5hour game instead of the average 3hr 15 min
His slider is absolutely ridiculous. The only pitch in the MLB right now that comes even close to it in making batters whiff/stare is Kershaw's curveball
El Condor! Not a great first postseason, but he was a monster for 6 solid months. I hope he never gets injured with that slingshot of a delivery. The amount of strike outs at 3-5 pitches is outstanding!
My hopes for Sale this season is for his slider to stay nasty in September/October, that was his issue late in the season and he became hitable. Come that time Cora has to get on him about resting that arm a bit more for October.
Trever P of him being a bit overused, but he was touching 99 and his breaking ball head as much break as at any time during the season. The ball is Juiced during the postseason, people have admitted it and there are some indications he may have been tipping his breaking ball. Or the catcher was.
I would also love to get your thoughts on Kershaw. I firmly believe this postseason proved that he’s not all time great. He is certainly the best pitcher we have this generation next to verlander, but he chokes every. Single. Year. This year he had one of the most explosive offenses and a lights out pen and still couldn’t get it done. People say that he redeemed himself in game 7 but he only lowered his World Series era to 4.02. All time great during the regular season but fatigue gets the best of him in the postseason
Might be weird to say but would you rather have Kershaw or Sale? Sale has more explosiveness on his fastball. But kershaw always has everything working. With all of that said, both choke in the postseason. I was so surprised to see Sale just shit the bed in the postseason. I thought now that he was given the chance he would dominate. But he ran into Jose Altuve who was on every fastball.
Pff... please he only gave up a few runs in game 1, which from a analytic standpoint is a quality start, the astros pitching was too good for our offense tho it was completely dead, for the rest of the postseason he was dominant, only slipping up on a few pitches that got taken advantage of by power bats, David price on the other hand, well not much to talk about there, he straight up just performs badly (prior to 2017 postseason)
HustlingDanny A quality start? Seriously? He gave up 7 runs in game1, which is very very bad. Yes it was just that one mistake to Bregman which lead to a loss in game 4, but you can’t have the ace making that kind of mistake when the season is on the line. I have to admit putting him in the Price category was an overstatement since it’s just a small sample size, but there should be no excuses for him.
Jack Gruber That’s probably true. Him getting tired is becoming an annual routine. Every year we think he’s lock for cy young then all the sudden he starts blowing up.
Sale or Kluber for Cy Young? While Sale was a beast this year, Kluber was the Minotaur. NL Cy Young? I think Scherzer over Kershaw, but it definitely is closer than the AL. Thoughts?
I disagree. AL is much more closer Cy race than NL. Scherzer all but has it in the bag while Kluber and Sale will be a very close vote. Kluber had a better year altogether IMO. Sale had a meh end of the year. Kluber also had like 5 complete games.
I'd say Kluber definitely wins it. The only real stats Sale has over Kluber is innings pitched and strikeouts. Kluber trumps him in pretty much everything else.
Sale keeps wearing down at the end of the season. I don't think he's had a good end to the season in his career. He's great when he's great, but Sale never seems to hold up well into August and September.
Another great season by Sale. Unfortunately his middle name should be "always the bridesmaid". He starts every year as the Cy Young favorite, and takes a dip in the second half. Amazing pitcher, but not a big game pitcher.
I think they are, he's a horse and he can still reach back 98, 99 sometimes even 100 when he needs it. And he was extremely sharp in game 4 until he made a mistake with a changeup. I think he'll be dominant for years more
He's also been relatively healthy, I see no reason why he'll wear down "soon" unless he suffers an arm or a back injury. People thought Verlander was done being dominant after he had a velocity dip because he wasnt healthy, Sale has a ton of natural arm whip and his delivery is funky enough to the point where he will still be great if he's throwing 92-94ish
Fight The Clock he hasn't hit 100 MPH in the last 3 years, and 99 is a rare occurrence (game 4 was his first 99 MPH fastball on the year according to brooks baseball) and I see all that deception wearing his arm down. Those mechanics really worry me especially as he ages. Verlander has arguably the best mechanics in baseball, and was dipping velocity due to his core muscle surgery as a result of a bad workout. I just have a hunch he'll start to wear down, I hope I'm wrong though. Guy is fun to watch when he's not pitching against your team
Yeah, its plausible but I think the arm angle works for him, its funky but despite that he does repeat his mechanics really well and I hope he stays healthy. He's my second favorite pitcher to watch behind Jose Fernandez...so uh, yeah I guess he's my favorite pitcher to watch now. Just ridiculous slider at a tough angle. I love it!
He reminds me a lot of Randy Johnson, who had great years long into his (also long) career, including his perfect outing. So who knows, maybe Sale will find a way to keep it going.

can u do a chad green video he is very underated and very good

Hes got the most violent style ever
His slider is absolutely ridiculous. The only pitch in the MLB right now that comes even close to it in making batters whiff/stare is Kershaw's curveball
Kluber's slurve is even deadlier.
Severinos slider is just as good imo
Rob Soltysiak He Ripped up his jersey white Sox and as a white sox fan that’s why I don’t like him
Scherzer,s slider though
Scherzer's Change up takes the cake
Listen I'm a diehard yankee fan but this man is my favorite pitcher in baseball. I recognize greatness when I see it despite him being on red sox
THE RETURN OF PRIME SALE!
El Condor! Not a great first postseason, but he was a monster for 6 solid months. I hope he never gets injured with that slingshot of a delivery. The amount of strike outs at 3-5 pitches is outstanding!
Nothing more satisfying than a strike out over the plate.
Btw great song choices \m/
308 K's? man if he threw 300 innings like how pitchers use to, he'd easily break the single season K record. given his arm holds up.
Austin He should have 400 k’s, especially getting strike calls like 2:28. This is the last guy who needs any help.
@@speakingtruths4215 that was an actual strike
I love how Sale plays
シカゴのファンに感心した😊
When he throws it to second he throws it just like how he pitches
As soon as I say how many so he got I knew this was going to be a long video
My hopes for Sale this season is for his slider to stay nasty in September/October, that was his issue late in the season and he became hitable. Come that time Cora has to get on him about resting that arm a bit more for October.

He had a great season with a 2.90 era and 308 k he plays in the al which is harder than nl.
Erick Torres Especially with those Stupid Yankees.

The best pitcher
The fact he stuck up for laroaches kid and adam hes a stamd up dude and hes beast
Chris====Born to Pitch
His sliders are the most deadly thing known to man (just a phrase don't get mad)

kamb26 I'll take sale, coming from a Yankees fan... so that says something lol.
kamb26 Kershaw. Not even close. I’d take Scherzer over Sale as well.
I thought he'd be dominant in the postseason. Never thought he was in the David Price category.
Pff... please he only gave up a few runs in game 1, which from a analytic standpoint is a quality start, the astros pitching was too good for our offense tho it was completely dead, for the rest of the postseason he was dominant, only slipping up on a few pitches that got taken advantage of by power bats, David price on the other hand, well not much to talk about there, he straight up just performs badly (prior to 2017 postseason)

Max Taka both chris sale and Corey Klubber had awful postseason performances
I think he was just tired. He pitched the most innings of anyone in baseball and threw the most pitches. He's not a big guy either
Jack Gruber That’s probably true. Him getting tired is becoming an annual routine. Every year we think he’s lock for cy young then all the sudden he starts blowing up.
Are you gonna do Christian Vazquez? He had an outstanding year. Especially considering his prior seasons.
Gotta take a look at him. Didn't follow him at all this year but probably so if he had a good year.
He was a platoon player...
Sale or Kluber for Cy Young? While Sale was a beast this year, Kluber was the Minotaur.
NL Cy Young? I think Scherzer over Kershaw, but it definitely is closer than the AL. Thoughts?
I disagree. AL is much more closer Cy race than NL. Scherzer all but has it in the bag while Kluber and Sale will be a very close vote. Kluber had a better year altogether IMO. Sale had a meh end of the year. Kluber also had like 5 complete games.
Yeah but no doubt, no matter how close, Kluber wins it, right?
Well Sale didn't have a bad season. He had a great season. Kluber had a season for the ages, though, and he in my opinion, should win it.
I'd say Kluber definitely wins it. The only real stats Sale has over Kluber is innings pitched and strikeouts. Kluber trumps him in pretty much everything else.
Need to do rafeal devers
セール凄いな。
ここまで勝てる投手はいない。
しかし、サイヤング賞とは縁がないセールだがトミージョンを乗り越えて悲願の受賞となるか。
He's making them look like kids lol
Not my pick for cy young but a great season
Chris sale had a lot of bad luck this year. He pitched four or five no decisions, and one 1-0 loss.
Music??
"I Hate Everything About You" Three Days Grace
Here after watching him strike judge out multiple times 🤣😅
He should have one cy young
You gotta wonder what's up with him and cleveland
yeah what is with that?
キンブレルに似てる？
he should be Cy young
Sale keeps wearing down at the end of the season. I don't think he's had a good end to the season in his career. He's great when he's great, but Sale never seems to hold up well into August and September.
All I gotta say is CHOKE for him. I’m not a Red Sox fan nor hater but he choked for the Red Sox badly
Great season but a very disappointing postseason debut
There is not a better in pitcher in the game today!!!!!!
Jennifer Botai Kershaw, Scherzer, Sale , in that order
Another great season by Sale. Unfortunately his middle name should be "always the bridesmaid". He starts every year as the Cy Young favorite, and takes a dip in the second half. Amazing pitcher, but not a big game pitcher.
Gotta believe he's gonna wear down soon. Last couple years has run out of gas. I bet he struggles next year. Mechanics are not sustainable
I think they are, he's a horse and he can still reach back 98, 99 sometimes even 100 when he needs it. And he was extremely sharp in game 4 until he made a mistake with a changeup. I think he'll be dominant for years more
