At the age of 37
Somehow his average 4 seam fb is up nearly 1.5 mph over the past two seasons.
Is it Sale or the guns that are juiced?

It's Sale. His average heater is at a career high this season, and he was really on his game tonight. The Dodgers had no chance against him.

Modern medicine(knowing more about the body really) is allowing these guys to go for a long time. In the sport I love(motocross) it was common to race until 29-32ish but not guys are racing closer much longer. Over 35 for some.

Or the radar was calibrated to create more drama in the matchup.

He threw a shutout. His last pitch in the 9th was 99. Incredible.

Most guys are not playing very long anymore, at least effectively. There are some exceptions, but a lot of guys seem to break down early. That makes what sale is doing pretty extraordinary.
I can remember the 90's and early 2000's watching all those hall of famers dominating into their late 30's and some in their 40's.
In football, QB's are definitely lasting longer, thanks to the rules that protect them, but that's about all I've noticed in terms of playing longer.

The radar guns pick up the ball speed differently than they used to. Thats why is appears so many pitchers are throwing so much harder

The obsession with muscle mass is reducing flexibility. This accelerates tendon and joint wear.

Exactly. Randy Johnson would be throwing 102 on the reg today

That was just changed this year?

The radar guns are laughable these days
