Pretty sure they're going to conserve Sale this year after what happened in the playoffs last year. Also i'd imagine you won't see many 4 out saves from Kimbrel either. (Just me speculating from what i've heard on WEEI. You're right though 92 pitches for Sale isn't high at all.
What happened? He choked...that's what happened.
He wasn't out there pitching on short rest of anything. No injuries either. Don't want a fatigue excuse, rofl
We're going to prevent it by making him pitch less?
More like he needs to not lose control of his slider late in the season. Shit looked terrible...
It's 1 thing to get blown up in the playoffs like Kershaw did in the past -- I give him a pass on some because the guy was pitching 3-4 games+ on short rest, 3 days at times...
Only thing I can say to defend him is that he did face the Astros, who were #1 in so many offensive categories -- they blew everyone up
He still choked
