Thank god Timmy ran through that sign. I can't believe McEwing held him up.

Same. I'm like oh he's scoring easy, then I heard hawk say they're holding him at third. I said wtf?! Lol I knew he'd score with his speed when it got to the wall.

9 pitches to Dexter Fowler, no changeups. How can nobody from the Sox organisation not be pinning him down saying "throw your best pitch you idiot"?

Sale sure is looking rusty

His change up is his best pitch?

His change up is his best pitch?

His slider gets more publicity but his changeup has typically rated as his best

Trade value going down.

Well, ya learn something new everyday.

Sale sure is looking rusty

Head case.

Uh? That's a strikeout

Cubs hitter can play situational ball and advanced the runner. What do our big hoppers do?

That was a strike you crap ump

Just be happy that missed call didn't cost any runs, just an extra pitch.

That was a strike you crap ump

That's the second worst this year. There was one earlier when Avila was catching. It was down the middle but he dropped it and the ump called it a ball.

I preferred the version of sale that threw the high fastball by people at 97. Not the one who induces the ground out on a 91 mph high fastball

I'll say this about Shuck. That guy bust his ass down that line anytime he puts the bat on the ball.

Coop fixed him.

Yup. This whole "strikeouts are actually bad because they don't let you go deep into games" thing he's got going on this year is absolute horses***, and Rick Hahn or somebody needs to explain this in detail to him and Don Cooper. Unfortunately he got really lucky pitching to contact early in the year and that's probably cemented the idea in their heads.

Sanchez sucks

Why do we have to give Sanchez a token start?

His numbers from the first half of last year to the first half of this year were strikingly similar.

Couldn't agree more, high strikeout Sale is clearly the best Sale.

Thanks, Sanchez. Now Sale leads off the third. Isn't one of the sole positives of your game supposed to be speed?

 

Man, our whole "middle IF prospect depth" of a few years ago really fizzled.

Why do we have to give Sanchez a token start?

team is run by morons.

Yep and then what happens is guys foul the 91 mph fastball off and eventually draw a walk or drive up your pitch count. Ie fowler, russell

He sucks more than Saladino.
