Chris Sale Earns Pedro Martinez’s Admiration After Best Red Sox Start Yet
Share this: Chris Sale’s bar was set incredibly high when he joined the Boston Red Sox this offseason. Somehow, the left-handed ace has raised it. Sale pitched his best outing in a season full of stellar ones Thursday at Rogers Centre, baffling the Toronto Blue Jays to the tune of 13 strikeouts and zero earned runs over eight innings in Boston’s 4-1, extra-innings win. He threw 80 of his 102 pitches for strikes, a remarkable feat when you consider there have been 65 starts already this season in which a pitcher has thrown fewer than 80 pitches total. Sale looked downright unhittable throughout most of his outing, attacking the strike zone with a lethal three-pitch mix while working quickly to keep Toronto’s batters off-balance. And if
Red Sox Vs. Rays Lineup: Drew Pomeranz Seeks To Build On Strong 2017 Debut
Drew Pomeranz will be looking for an encore performance on Easter Sunday. The Boston Red Sox left-hander will make his second start of the season Sunday at Fenway Park against the Tampa Bay Rays. Pomeranz dazzled in his first outing, limiting the Baltimore Orioles to one run over six innings while striking out six in Boston’s eventual 8-1 win. The 28-year-old had considerable success against the Rays last season, posting a 3.03 ERA over three starts while striking out 23 batters in 17 2/3 innings pitched. Christian Vazquez will start behind the plate, catching Pomeranz and batting ninth. The rest of the Red Sox’s lineup remains unchanged from... NESN.com

Former Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez has even taken notice and is impressed with the Red Sox’s newest ace. Pedro see’s a lot of himself in Sale and gave him some high praise after what he’s seen so far.

Bruins Goaltie Tuukka Rask Back To Elite Form During Historic Start To Season
Share this: Tuukka Rask is one of the five-best goaltenders in the NHL. The Boston Bruins star didn’t play up to his normal standard in each of the last two seasons following a Vezina Trophy-winning campaign in 2013-14. Most of this decline can be contributed to the Bruins’ defense steadily regressing, both in number of shots and quality of shots allowed. Losing top-four defensemen such as Johnny Boychuk and Dougie Hamilton didn’t help, either. The 2016-17 season has started out in almost perfect fashion for Rask, and it’s clear he’s back to the elite form that made him a $7 million netminder. Wins aren’t a great stat to judge goalies on, but a 10-1-0 record is pretty darn good. Rask’s shutout win over the Colorado Avalanche
