But unfortunately, you're facing a gamer.

You're facing Chris Sale, who is still at 37, a buzzsaw on the mound.

And once again, lefty as we know, who has devastating stuff even now.

And so how are you going to use those at-bats to your advantage and try to get more than four hits in a run today?

Well, and here's what I don't want to have happen if I'm evaluating after yesterday.

You know what I don't want?

Shota Imanaga, who has gone out there every day and done his job and then some, to feel bad about giving up two earned runs, one a home run on a slider.

Here's what he had to say through his translator, Edwin Stansbury, after the game.

No, no.

Perfect should not be.

I mean, I get that that's her goal, but you can't live like that.

Like, I don't want him mentally doing anything other than what he's been doing in his starts.

That is what I don't want.

He's one of the things that is working.

Two runs should be enough allowed to have this team in particular still win you a ball game.

No, Shota.

No shame for you yesterday.

I don't want to hear that out of you or Edwin ever again, as long as this is happening.

But there are ways to say it, you know?

You think Shota doesn't remember how many home runs he gave up at the end of last year?
