That was my thought. He ramped it up after the mound visit
no one wants to give the opposing pitcher credit for getting guys out...but Sale was on another level those last 2 ABs.htxag09 said:
These are the AB's I remember when everyone talks about how clutch Correa is. Has he had huge clutch hits? Absolutely, and they're glorious. He's also **** the bed in clutch situations. All he needed to do was hit a fly ball.
That's why I question how clutch he really is. He seems to perform about average in those situations, aka gets a hit 30% of the time. Everyone just remembers the bombs.

Chris Sale's 98.5 mph strikeout pitch was his fastest pitch since Aug. 12, 2018

All he needed to do was hit a ball moving at 95 mph, which is rotating in some unknown manner, to the far side of the field.

well, you can find plenty of people who will argue that there is no such thing as "clutch." Most players perform exactly at the same statistical level in "clutch" situations as their career numbers.htxag09 said:
Lol I never said he was a bad hitter. Part of being clutch is performing better in crucial situations when the competition is significantly better aka the playoffs. I love Correa. I love playoff Correa. I think he's better than the majority of short stops. I hope he's an Astro next year. I just don't think there is anything uniquely special about him in the playoffs where all of a sudden he performs better in crucial situations.

Siri and Maldonado are automatic outs. Let's get Chas and Castro in next time around.

That was a bit too easy of an inning for Sale. he will probably go at least one more, maybe two. He seems to have settled in on us.
