QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 20, 2016 -> 08:29 AM) hes throwing more to contact. Changing speeds on all of his pitches and not worrying about perfect location all the time. Its a great recipe. Rodon needs to pay close attention to how Sale has matured as a pitcher

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2016 -> 07:05 AM) Sale had an interesting quote after the game: "I'm not throwing as many anger pitches or hate pitches. And rely on my defense. That's the key to all of this. That's the master plan." http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/i...-and-chris-sale Those would be stress pitches as well I'm sure. Glad he never threw his arm/elbow out by anger pitches. He seems like he could do it lol

QUOTE (shipps @ May 20, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) That is pretty much trolling them. Eh I've talked baseball a lot with them. Ask them about the Royals and what's going on. Wasn't that bad honestly.

Reddick is out 4-6 weeks with a fractured thumb. FYI

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) Davidson, Sanchez, Erik Johnson will get...maybe...a useful reliever. Which still could be quite helpful. Delmonico's the interesting one, even moreso than Hayes, IMO (of the second/third tier guys). No kidding. They have next to no value.

Royals fans banned me from a thread lol. Didn't say anything bad just said they're lucky as f*** they're missing Sale. They're such pansies.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Going into yesterday, about 60 OPS points. Both aren't exactly lighting the world on fire, and Rollins struggles as LHB and should be lower in the order, but the team seems to play better/with more confidence when he's out in the field. Shields is pitching well tonight against the Giants. ERA around 3 and 46 strikeouts. What are his peripherals at the moment? You just get the feeling he might be motivated to mix it up one more time in the AL Central, especially after the Royals didn't make any attempt to sign him after 2014 (and watching the team he once led win the World Series the following year). That would be intriguing. He'd also bring that bulldog championship mentality we need. He instilled it into the Royals. I'd love to go bigger though. We have a chance to make it to the World Series. We need another starter, reliever and an impact bat.

On MLBN now. They're talking about Sale as the best pitcher...and in Chicago

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Ump wanted his 15 minutes of fame. That was a ball lol f*** it we deserved it. We've been screwed by umps lately

Winning is fun. There's no reason to not be at the park when he pitches. He's so good

I LOVE WINNING

LOL that was f***ing nasty

We need this badly. One more Chris

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) He didn't. I was thinking he was up that's my bad.

I wouldn't throw Springer a strike on the first pitcher EVER

Come on Chris

Back to back CGs I'd guess Contreras during his dominant period

Can we get that run back please?

Nice play JRoll

Thankfully we had a 2 run lead

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) There's your lead Chris. It's not much, but it's all we got. lol Giggity

That's how it's done. Great job Avila

Ok Avila....hit it deep

I

I wonder if Sands chops wood in the offseason...looks like he's one of those guys
