Starter Jake Peavy thinks Chicago White Sox can be contenders – MLB News
The Chicago White Sox starting pitcher is feeling quite confident on his team’s chances going into the post season as well as sure with assurance of being into last stages of the ongoing Major League Baseball competition.
Recently he told the media explaining many aspects of his team. Peavy said, “The thing that’s frustrating about this is we’ve been in almost every game to the last pitch, We have to find a way to push through, to get a big hit, make
a big pitch and make those ballgames wins and not one-run losses.”
He added, “Look back over that tough [3-11] stretch. There’s been a guy on third with one out, and we didn’t get it done, and a couple of times where we had to make big pitches to get out of an inning with two outs — myself included.”
So far the Indians are also playing well with the winning percentage of .581 with 18-13 win loss record. Currently the Indians are also at top in the American League Central.
On the other hand, the Indians entire roster is also performing vigilantly especially Peavy, who recently has played a key role in White Sox win against the Cleveland Indians.
Last month, Peavy also received the honour of American League Pitcher of the month. On contrary to his own performance, his above comments have also suggested that how keen he is for better results of his team.
Peavy, who also possesses the great support of team manager Robin Ventura and general manager Kenny Williams, certainly improving with every game he is playing.
So far, he is performing at consistent pace of 1.89 ERA along with 4-1 win-loss record, 44 strikeouts and 0.80 WHIP while his career 3.42 ERA along with 113-82 win-loss, 1598 strikeouts and 1.18 WHIP also makes a world class player.
A ten-year veteran and former San Diego Padres ace pitcher, Peavy also understands that how crucial this time is for all the team. Though many games are still to be played to determine who will be heading into the next round, but the level of determination
and trust on his team Peavey is showing is certainly very impressive and who knows, this trust and determination might land them into very close to the deserted World Series title.
