Stop It: Chris Sale Will Be Fine

All over the airwaves I'm hearing concern about Chris Sale. His velocity was the lowest of his career last start. You can't pay Frank Tanana or Jamie Moyer or Koji Uehara $30 Million a year. He's got to be injured. Would the Red Sox let Chris Sale pitch if he were injured? Not a chance. They shut him down the whole second half last year because of shoulder discomfort. Every single pitcher in baseball has shoulder discomfort. Cora and his merry men would not risk Sale's health.

Red Sox Opening Day – A Wake Up Call

Well that was a dud. Chris Sale was bad, the bullpen was bad, the bats only managed 4 runs in a 12-4 loss. But this isn't about injury, and it's not about punching holes in the teams' talent. This was a wake up call for a team coming off arguably the most historic season in it's 117 year history.
