4/24 Sale Secures Second Straight Sox Success

[Petagine in a Bottle]

So why doesn't Cora publicly call out ever single player and challenge them to get in better shape?

Because when he does that, it works.

OK, dude!

 

[S. H. Frog]

This Chris Sale is not dealing

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Sale's slider has been awful tonight

 

[LogansDad]

Doesn't matter much now, but that was a really nice job by Duran to back up Verdugo on the play before that.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Sale continues to earn that fat salary.

 

[rodderick]

Sale has nothing. Everything is smoked.

 

[moonshotmanny]

This game is not fun anymore.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

This game is not fun anymore.

Kinda knew this would happen. The Orioles are the better team, as much as it pains me to say that.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Sale's slider has been awful tonight

Sale's gonna have success or not based on his slider movement.

 

[Remagellan]

Kinda knew this would happen. The Orioles are the better team, as much as it pains me to say that.

Somebody should tell their fanbase.

 

[TheYellowDart5]

The slider doesn't have enough bite and the fastball doesn't have enough command to get whiffs for Sale right now

 

[Redkluzu]

That was quick.

 

[LogansDad]

Sigh

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Sale to the DL, Bello activated?

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Fat fastball right on the plate, Sale is fooling no one

 

[strek1]

Sale will give this lead up post haste.

And poof it's gone. Better warm somebody up post haste.

 

[Remagellan]

Late, but that will do.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Sale walking off looking at his mitt. Why have you betrayed me, mitt?

 

[fenwaypaul]

Sale-proof?

Ummm…

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I will also go on a Dunkin run.

 

[LynnRice75]

Fat fastball right on the plate, Sale is fooling no one

He fooled the front office once.

 

[E5 Yaz]

70 pitches through 4

 

[phrenile]

Could be better.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ummm…

I guess we got that answer

 

[LesterFan]

2 whiffs on 70 pitches, 0 K's on 16 batters faced. Brutal.

Well, they are better than Sale tonight. As for our offense, the ump has a wide zone in places and Kremer has found those places, Sale has not.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

This rotation is gonna burn out the bullpen by Memorial Day.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Amazing how horrible he’s become

 

[iambatman818]

What a tantrum in the dugout. Hopefully he doesn’t hurt himself or anyone else.

Description for those w/o video

 

[Mantush]

I think it's the tempo tbh

I'm remember he was moving very quick between pitches vs the Twins and tonight he's been letting the clock go more. just my observation. i may be wrong.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Sale's stuff hasn't really deteriorated from his peak all that much - except his for his changeup, and the amount of horizontal movement on his slider.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Seven pitch inning ... just what Sale needed

 

[strek1]

Their guy is back in the groove now with some help from us.

 

[aksoxfan]

Now bats go to sleep.

 

[strek1]

Short leash here please. (Like right now)

 

[S. H. Frog]

Pull him

 

[mauidano]

The slider doesn't have enough bite and the fastball doesn't have enough command to get whiffs for Sale right now

And not getting any better tonight. O's are seeing through the smoke and mirrors.

 

[InsideTheParker]

They smell blood now.

 

[Van Everyman]

This post brought to you by game 1 of 162.

 

[rodderick]

Just giving up rockets left and right, get him out of there.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

A bad player with a bad temperament.

 

[strek1]

They are teeing off on some odd pitches (Outside the zone). Is he tipping?

 

[canderson]

I just remembered I had tickets for this game. Oops.

But since Chris Sale can’t miss any bats (two! swings and misses) I’m not sad to have forgotten.

 

[flymrfreakjar]

Is Sale tipping his change or something? They're crushing it even when it's way low and out of the zone.

 

[strek1]

Come on Alex this is pointless. He's not going to work through it.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This game is a major blow to Wong’s elite pitch calling reputation

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Another bullet off a changeup.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That pitch right there that "missed inside" was a strike all night until now.

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Sale isn't tipping, he just can't locate anything worth a damn
