Gotta love it when Chris Sale basically wins games by himself.

Yeah Chris Sale is your 2016 AL Cy Young.

Feldman on to pitch. We really need to light him up.

Top of the order coming up in the 8th for us and the Astros in the 9th. Need another run offense.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) That wasn't even a bad pitch. Gattis just golfed it out.

Thank god for the insurance run.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) Looks like Jerry Sands has silenced his critics for another week. As long as you keep him out of the outfield, he can be dangerous...to the other team. Keep him from playing any defense. He's bad at first too.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) Both runs do to the steal. We picked good pitches to steal on. It's not even because Gattis isn't a great catcher.

There's your lead Chris. It's not much, but it's all we got. lol

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) Runners at the corners, one out, and the biggest double play threat in the lineup at the plate Why is McHugh still in? You need to bring in Sipp for Avila. lol too late.

Jimmy looked like he was running in sand. Very few runners score there though.

Nice swinging bunt Jimmy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) Sale's ERA under 1.50 now. Pitch count in the mid-80's. Hate this decision coming up for Ventura...if he "sails" through the 8th, I hope to god Ventura leaves him in and doesn't bring Robertson into the game. Sale's the best pitcher in the world right now, and we really need this game, about as much as any game this season so far. Robin should be grilled if he takes Sale out under those circumstances. Even if he's at 100+ pitches.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Please get an insurance run. He's pitching a great game Seriously. It's not like we're facing the best pitching staff in the game or anything.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) I think Abreu did way worse than Sanchez. Atleast Sanchez made contact. Abreu went up there and swatted at two terrible pitches. Someone tell him you can take pitches...

We suck.

It's like our hitters are trying to hit very differently since we got a guy on third. Whatever they're doing isn't working. Weak contact and no contact is not what you want...

Wow. We went from probably scoring in the inning to almost no shot. Abreu has no damn plan up there. It's pathetic.

If we strand him we might as well pack it up for the night. Middle of the order and can't get the run in from third with nobody out? You don't deserve to win.

A lot of these OFer sleep on Eaton's power. Hicks did it in NY. Springer did last night and Marisnick did tonight.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Good job with pitch count these past few innings for Sale With the way Chris is pitching, he's only exerting maximum effort on a few pitches per AB. So even if he was higher in pitch count, I'd trust him to throw 110-120 pitches.

Gotta work the count on McHugh so we can get to their bullpen.

Hard to believe that Sands has had the best at bats against McHugh so far.

Please stop swinging at his 58 foot curveballs. Some of these pitches aren't even close.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Almost makes me wish Pitch Trax wasn't there, it's frustrating to see all the blown calls every game, there's too many of them. I think pitch trax is really helping us see that umpires are mostly awful at calling strikes.
