He's a romantic. He loves thinking about women.

You know that crack about a gap in your teeth? That's still not sitting well with me, Wallach.

Is that right?

You know what we call that when he does that to you? Me. You just got Dick shirt and leave. Shirt and Dick. Shirt and Dick. We go from Rich to Dick. Dick shirt and leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So this is interesting here.

I am a big fan of trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Chris Sale. Because after watching that game last night, I know, John, you expressed your frustration on Twitter that you were nervous as hell. Well, I mean, going into a series with these guys when your ace pitcher vomits on his shoes, it seems, every time he faces. Red Sox are not going to catch Houston, I don't think. I mean, they're four games out, but Houston's been the best team all season long, and the only way for the Red Sox to avoid the Indians in the playoffs because the Indians are going to win the Central is to pass Houston and then play the winner of the wild card play in game. so they're going to play the Indians in the first round of the playoffs for a second straight year. And you're number one, a guy who is going to start game one of a playoff series against Cleveland. And by the way, this will be the first postseason start of his career, just got beat up twice by that team. So I think there's a perfectly logical reason to be a little nervous.

Yes. But you said earlier, John, that he has not been good against Cleveland in the past.

Like this isn't just this year. I looked at his splits for 14, 15, and 16. It's not crazy.

He's got a 3-38 ERA. He's 3-3-3 against them. He started nine games. I mean, there are other teams that he's been much worse. He was terrible against him. Take a look at the last three sales starts. The last one while he was with Chicago and these two. Very bad. That's a very small sample size.

I'm not willing to, I'm going to focus in on what you said.

But it's the most recent three against the team he has to pitch against.

You're trying to put it against in historical perspective.

And I.

What's his record overall?

Overall against Cleveland in his career.

Well, did he take the loss in all these starts this year?

He took the loss in the last two, yeah.

Okay.

I'm sorry, no.

The first one was a no decision, and they won 1210.

That's true.

They won 1210 at Fenway.
