Right now I'm watching Oakland A's pitcher Sean Manaea's post-game conference following his no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. Manaea and his team are on top of the world tonight.
The same cannot be said for the Chicago White Sox. Not only has the team lost six games in a row, but one of their own is fighting for his life. Relief pitcher Danny Farquhar collapsed in the dugout after pitching the sixth inning on Friday night's 10-0 loss to the defending World Series champion Houston Astros. Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage and is in critical but stable condition. Hopefully the prompt medical attention he received will save his life.
The 31-year old Farquhar has pitched in the big leagues since 2011 with the Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays before signing as a free agent with the Chisox in the middle of last season. Should Farquhar survive this episode it will be a bigger boost to the White Sox than winning the World Series.
