Lol dumbest dive ever. Looked like he was going to be safe by a mile.

How are players still doing that in 2023? Like it should be an automatic benching.

I guess at the end of the day, it's just really really hard to string wins together against good teams when you only have two pitchers that can throw more than 80 pitches a game effectively. Just too many innings to cover day in and day out, unless the offense rings the bell.

Sale allowed 4 of 5 lead off men to reach. He was always grinding. Combine that with a pitch count, and it's too much pressure on the rest of the team.
