Of course the Red Sox will publicly excuse his behavior, because that's their only option.Д«ut if you're looking for a veteran All-Star to save the rotation, I'd focus my attention on the rehab of right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Of course he blasted his performance as unacceptable. Of course Sale smashed a TV after walking five and failing to complete the fourth inning. He's certainly not the first player to go medieval on a helpless piece of technology, but as with everything Sale nowadays, there was a performative nature to the outburst that crosses the line from paragon to parody. This is not the Sale the Red Sox paid $145 million when there were already major questions about his durability, but it's the Sale they've got. The quotes sound good in isolation until you realize they're just rote cowboy, a bunch of sound and (especially) fury now meriting little more than eye rolls. Instead, we're subjected to Sale's never-ending stream of tough talk, this pablum about letting his teammates down and being terrible and not earning his money.

Sale can say that is a story for another day, but considering how much the absence of reliever Tanner Houck has wreaked havoc on two series in Canada now, it is at the very least a question fans and the organization have a right to ask. And finally, ridiculously, he kicks the mangled frame like an angry Gumby. Shared on Twitter by NBC 10's Alysha Palumbo, it shows Sale trying to rip the husk of a TV off the wall in the runway outside the dugout. The visual, in case you haven't seen it, is outlandish. The Red Sox have shown incredible patience with Sale's myriad injuries over the last four years, but patience has its limits and he is exhausting everyone's. Sale's sheriff routine is wearing awfully thin, and this latest outburst crosses into the realm of outright caricature. The answer, of course, is all of the above. Or is it the fact that you're always injured, have only made nine starts since August of 2019, and are now assaulting an inanimate object like an outtake from 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' even though your team desperately needs you and you're finally on the cusp of a return? Tomase: Only thing Bello proved is that he's not Pedro Is it blatantly disrespecting a lower rung of the organization by destroying some property because why else is it there except to serve as an outlet for your rage?
