The Rise, Fall, & Rise Again of Baseball's Best Pitcher
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- When Chris Sale broke onto the scene with the White Sox, he took the league by storm finishing among the games best pitchers in the AL Cy-Young award throughout his stay in the Southside. Then in Boston he continued his dominance over the league winning his first ever World Series trophy in 2018 after posting a 2.11 ERA during the regular season. But towards the end of his time in Boston, Sale could not stay off the injured list and at the end of 2023 he was dealt to the Braves. At this time, it felt like Sale's once promising Hall of Fame career was reaching its end. However, in Atlanta he has found a second wind and currently finds himself among the games top pitchers in most major categories.

Braves fan here. In a season that’s gotten arguably more depressing as it’s gone on, Chris has shockingly been a bright spot. I had my doubts considering his last 4 years, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and he’s been amazing for us
He has been a huge bright spot for you guys amidst all of the injuries. They won it without Acuña in 2021 though!
How is it depression? We legit have the same record that we did the exact same thing last season.
How is it depressing? Because we lost Strider for the year--who should _not_ be our ace, as he has a homer problem--and then Acuna not too long ago? Asking us to replicate what we did last year is impossible. Last season, all the hitters pretty much had the best years of their careers. Doing that again was unlikely. We'll be fine. Our pitching is better than it was last year, and our offense will come around.
Strider is an absolute ace, he racks up strikeouts faster than anyone IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL, plus the metrics showed that he was unlucky last year.
And losing Acuña is an enormous blow to the team, even with his slow start to the season.
But I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Braves win 95+ games anyway.
Your depth off the bench is ridiculous.
sale lopez fried and ozuna r the reason we still may make the playoffs, on a good note matt olson is starting to come along
Sale was on my team, helped win us a WS, then we traded him when he was finally healthy again for Vaughn Grissom. Insane. He's amazing when healthy.
Definitely does not help that Grissom has posted a 6 OPS+ in his first 87 plate appearances. That is honestly insane...
they waited 3 years to do so, did you realize that too?
As a Yankees fan, I kind of felt bad for Sale towards the end. Especially after his meltdown in the clubhouse. Always thought he was too hard on himself. After all he played a vital role in bringing the Sox a championship.
He was legendary during that 2018 run!
As a Red Sox, and all around Sale fan since his starting years, its bittersweet to see this. I WISH he could have stayed healthy and gotten some elite stats with us, or been able to contribute at meaningful times, but I also have to be happy that such a unique talent is getting another chance to shine.
Just wish it was still with Boston lol
I'm not a Sox fan but I can definitely understand feeling a bit bittersweet about everything.
I think a big help is how the Braves can keep people healthy and prevent preventable injuries. I remember watching a video of the Braves' medical team and the technology that they have is amazing, along with the staff.
loved the video bro not a big braves fan but sale is one of my favorite pitchers all time, unfortunate he's had his injury streaks
if he had the durability of someone like nolan ryan he would probably finish his career with 4000+ strikeouts closing in on 5000
Glad you enjoyed! I agree his injuries have been unfortunate the past few years, happy he’s back to his best!
I mean if he had the durability of Cy Young he would have won 500 games
His durability is actually pretty good compare to the average starter these days LOL
Let's appreciate what he was able to do when he was healthy!
It upsets me hes 35 tbh, hes missed so much of his career and STILL had elite stats. I truly hope he can make it to the HoF
He probably needs about 3 more full elite seasons, 2 at the very least (2024 could be one of them)
Let's not forget that guys like Cliff Lee and Johan Santana didn't make it and Felix Hernandez will probably fall short too
There's a reason why DeGrom will be one of the biggest "if" cases of all time while Sabathia will sail in first ballot, durability is a skill too
If he gets to 3000 K's I think he will get in. He needs about 750 more...
He's so much fun to watch. His delivery is so deceiving
It's awesome. Not many like him.
This is probably one of the biggest comeback of his career. His best season since 2018 and he's about to lock a CY Young to his resume and possible comeback of the year.
him and ozuna have been carrying the braves this season, as well as reynaldo lopez
Fried would like a word
@@jcspotter7322 forgot about him lmao
He's going to have to carry even more now that Acuña is out. What do you think of him?
2018 ROY 111 Games
2019 MVP-5 159 Games
2020 * Season 46 Games
2021 ACL Tear 82 Games
2022 Recovering From ACL Tear 119 Games
2023 MVP-1 159 Games
2024 ACL Tear 49 Games
He honestly hasn't played that much despite being in the league for 7 years.
@@3-0Greenlight i love him lmao
@@3-0Greenlight He will be baseball's biggest what-if if he keeps getting injured. Most talented player not named Shohei Ohtani and I stand on that.
Great vid but the timing of him blowing up his last start a couple days ago is impeccable
I KNOW. I’ve been working on this vid since last Tuesday and I was saying to myself. He better pitch well on Saturday. Then he blows up against the Braves. Raised his ERA from 2.12 to 3.10 😂
He righted the ship a couple days ago. He's great! 🙂
@@briansolo no no its not me hating on sale its just great timing
massively slept on youtuber
I appreciate your kind words :)
Crazy how hes never won a Cy Young
Agreed! He was top 6 for 7 years but never won it...
I don't think injury prone players deserve consideration due to lack of consistency & longevity. He played in less then 60 games in what 4-5 years? Lol nah bro that ain't it
@@christopherwoodson7162 Tell me you don't know the difference between Cy Young Award and Hall of fame without telling me.
@@benhen7764 tell me you don't know how to judge whether someone should be considered a HOF/ CYAW. Lol
@@benhen7764 for example Garret Cole has almost 100 more innings pitched then Chris Sale & Cole only has one CYA. Don't tell me about " knowing ball " bc you obviously look fkin dumb guy. Holla at me when you actually know what you're talking about dude. 👌🏽
7:00 Pupper ❤
He's a good boy!
Chris Sale has been one of the very few bright spots in an otherwise frustrating season thus far for my Atlanta Braves, and this is a fantastic piece. When AA acquired him, I wasn't worried about the injuries, because most of them were freak things. He's been tremendous, and I think his dawg mentality will, ultimately, help the Braves rediscover themselves for a strong postseason run. Again, awesome job!
Also: bro... you've only been making content for 6 months, and you're putting out this quality?! Good for you, man! Subbed, liked & shared.
Great Videao my dude
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
With that delivery he was bound to have injury problems
Could definitely be a reason why.
Loved the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Red sox trading him for a pile of dirt 🔥🔥🔥
Haha yup, Grissom hasn't gotten off to a great start yet. That 6 OPS+ is extremely lackluster.
Great video bro
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Didn’t Chris get hella mad wearing that big azz throwback jersey a while back. Look it up. It was funny. Felt him.
I forgot Manny machado played for the dodgers 🤷🏻♂️
Weird stretch of time for sure...
He just gave up 8 earned runs against the Athletics. I would have made this video after Chris actually made a bounce back start
Haha I know, I started this video early last week and I knew he was pitching on Saturday. I was hoping he would pitch well so it would fit into my narrative but he didn't. It's ok though, I still believe he's back to his best.
Lol look at this clown who looked at one bad start and said "nah bro he's toast." That's baseball, literally every legendary pitcher has had dog shit games against dog shit teams. Are you new to the sport or something?
Ìt would be help to give his won-lost record
Sorry about that! I used his W-L a couple times throughout the video. But sometimes when I include it in the graphics it takes away from the stats I'm mentioning. It also makes the graphics smaller and harder to see.
Right after getting shelled by the MF A's is wild 😂
I started this video early last week and I saw he was pitching against the A's on Saturday. I thought to myself. Oh great, he can have another solid start to fit my narrative.
I was mistaken...
@@3-0Greenlight hahahah I'm with you def didn't think this would happen right when ya drop this
How are you getting better at content?
You're too kind :)
I’m not even a white Sox fan…. Nortside. But I don’t like him because he ruined their uniforms back in 2013 I believe. Those looked so cool:
It was definitely unprofessional.
He must be glad to have left the poverty red sox
It's been tough times in Boston, but his lack of availability was a major part in that. I think it was best for both sides to get a refresh.
Seems like it was mostly due to injury
Yes! Because of his injuries, he was never able to build up properly for the regular season. It was definitely apparent with his fastball velo down a considerable amount between 2019-2023.
buddyyyyy the master audio low again my laptop audio is maxed, youtube audio maxed and its still mid sounding volumeeeeeeeee
Sorry about that, I’ve been trying to find out how to fix this. When I test it on my phone/labtop it sounds good to me when I export it.
Let me know what you think about Chris Sale's resurgence and I'll make sure to respond to everyone in the first 24 hours!
Hoping he can finish out the season and a couple of full seasons in 2025 and 2026
I think that will give him a good chance at the Hall
No comment on how he benefitted from being on team caught cheating.
It's not as confirmed as the Astros scandal but I am aware there were allegations against them in 2018. It definitely would have helped them win the WS, but for Sale his numbers didn't get influenced.
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved
Lol
Cy Long favorite in the NL??? yea ok like ranger suarez aint sweeping that shit LOL
Haha ya I made that intro before Sale's last start
@@3-0Greenlight poor guy, happens to the best of us
Fuck Suarez and the Phillies. Braves gonna win the NL east then it all
Yeah, let’s talk about Suarez now…..Sale and Lopez has out pitched Ranger so far.
Fucking antiyankees he is
Career 3.12 ERA against them!
Career 3.12 ERA against them!
were so back
😤
As a Red Sox fan, I’m really happy for Chris. These last few years have definitely been tough on him, and it’s nice to see vintage Chris Sale, even on another team.
You had him for some awesome years! Nice to see him back to his best now, he's back on his way to 3000 K's!
Definitely! Sadly I was only 8 back in that World Series run, I don’t remember much.
I still can't believe as a Sox fan, how abysmal and lukewarm the fan reception was in his return to Fenway. His "Thank you, and I'm sorry." comment also felt genuine and it is really great to se him absolutely shoving like vintage Sale again.
I'll never forget when he cut up those atrocious white Sox alternate uniforms
Ya he did not like those things at all...
I don’t think he ever fell, yes he was injured for 4 years, but when he did play he was always elite
From 2019-2023 his ERA sat a little over 4. Nothing terrible, but it was still far away from his best.
@@3-0Greenlight what I mean is that his fip /9 stats where similar to previous years. This suggests to me that he pitched the same way he always had, the only place he got worse is his hard hit rate. thats probably what you said in the video, his fastball was a few ticks slower, as he was always coming back from an injury and could not build up the velo
Can you do a video about Andre Dawson titled how good was Andre Dawson actually? Probably an odd request but figured I would ask
It's just hard to find good clips of players that played in the 80s/90s. It makes it hard to make a good video unfortunately.
i just wanna say as a 6 foot 4 man i am really starting to feel left out by ur ads
the video is nice though
Haha, If you know anyone on the shorter side I'm sure they'd love it! I had a few other sponsors reach out to me before but I never did anything with them because I wasn't too interested in what they were selling. These guys at Under 5'10 are awesome and I've been wearing a bunch of their clothes!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Happy for Sale but I’d bet a good amount of money he doesn’t make it through the season. Players aren’t injured for 4 1/2 years then all of a sudden healthy at age 35.
It's definitely a possibility. I'm just hoping he can get to 3000 K's for the Hall of Fame.
I really think we need to rethink the HOF not to just put anyone in of course but I think a 7 year peak of insane pitching is worthy of a plaque in cooperstown. Longevity is important but with how injury riddled all of baseball and taking into account the wider talent pool so less players get the chance to sign those long contracts that help someone play for 20 years we aren’t gonna have anyone to induct by 2040
I miss sale days as a redsox fan, but it's awesome seeing him pitch great again.
That's understandable. Hopefully he can stay healthy and get to 3000 K's for the HOF!
Mark Buehrle didn’t say goodbye… Our stupid GM decided to extend John Danks after 2011 instead of bringing back Buehrle. I know danks was younger and decent at the time, but Buehrle was the better pitcher. Sox win the division in 2012 with Buehrle on that team.
Part of reason he was traded away was because of being a locker room cancer…remember when the white Sox had some alternate jerseys for a game back in 2017 I think, Sale grabbed scissors and cut them all up so they couldn’t wear them and forced them to wear their regular home jerseys
