Boston Red Sox left-handed ace Chris Sale, a seven-time All-Star and two-time strikeout leader, has started this season 0-4 with an 8.50 ERA and just 14 strikeouts in 18.0 innings.
After allowing four earned runs in five innings during an 8-0 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, Sale expressed his disappointment.
"I just flat-out stink right now," Sale told reporters postgame. "I don't know what it is. When you're going good, it's good. When you're going bad, it's pretty bad."
"Doesn't matter how hard you throw or how fancy it looks," Sale added.
