RockRaines Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) This... straight 94 mph fastballs over meaty parts of the plate aren't that hard to hit. Sale is awful tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) He's given up four or more runs in five of his last nine starts. Not very ace like. He's allowed a bad game, but this isn't one bad game. This is a bad stretch.  Edit- Also, this team is s***. Beyond Freeman, they have nothing.  Arrieta's going through a similar stretch, albeit his ERA is lower due to pitching in the NL. 6 ER in 6+ innings.  In fact, I'm sure there will be 10X more panic in Chicago over Arrieta than anything you hear about Chris Sale.   Pirates sweep the Cubs and there will be a LONG LONG All-Star break for the Cubs to think about how much all that hype and all those All-Stars are actually worth in the 2nd half.

Soxfest Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) At least now I don't have to sleep to have a nightmare. The Braves, Beckham and Flowers lighting up Sale is doing that while I'm awake. For sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footlongcomiskeydog Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Fathom, I told you. "Braves had a hitters meeting before the game, and Tyler Flowers ran it."  From Scot Gregor.   This shouldn't matter if you hit your spots and make good pitches. Sale consistently fell behind hitters and left fastballs right over the middle of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Fatigue has always been an issue with Sale in July/August. Â He's an ace, but I wish they would manage his innings better. He has such a heavy workload that he's bound to slip up sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Please please let sale rest. He's dead tired  Every year he gets a long rest at the AS break, that will happen again this year I bet. Doubt he starts again before Sunday or Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'd even say, regardless of what Sale has done or not done, if you can't rally from a two-run deficit at home against the Braves with 4+ innings of at-bats remaining, you aren't that great of a team in the first place.

TitoMB345 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Sale's s***ty stretch pretty much ensures he's out of the Cy race. Incredible how quickly he tanked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) You can tell Sox are back at home and it's a weekend because they stink the place up. 11 hits for the hapless Braves already. Edited July 9, 2016 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Arrieta's going through a similar stretch, albeit his ERA is lower due to pitching in the NL. 6 ER in 6+ innings. In fact, I'm sure there will be 10X more panic in Chicago over Arrieta than anything you hear about Chris Sale.  His ERA is lower because he's pitched better. Arrieta's give up four or more runs in a game four times the entire season, and that's including tonight.  As for the second part, no offense, but I don't even live in the Midwest. So who panics about what in Chicago is pretty irrelevant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
