Verlander vs Sale

Let us strive mightily to win.

BP Sale in first inning

Throwing nothing but fastballs isn't going to work against this lineup.

That was not a pretty inning. Cabrera gets a solid solo homer for the only run given up

Looks like a beautiful day for a ballgame.

Shockingly low attendance

Given the uniformly negative nature of your postings here, I'm shocked that you're shocked at how low the attendance is.

Poor plate discipline, zero situational hitting.

 

Why am I not surprised?

Sale has nothing on these pitches today. Wonder how tired his arm is, as his velocity is around 91 today

He's not that negative. He just knows bad baseball when he sees it.

Nah, I'm negative. Just surprised seeing such a small crowd on a holiday day game.

That's generally what happens when he throws 110+ pitches in 3 starts in a row.

Verlander has gotten his K's by suckering Sox hitters on high fastballs. Garcia breaks through with a hard hit double. Exit velocity 109 mph

 

 

 

 

Some real nice at bats this inning

Saladino!

Benetti has got to stop acting like a comic. Omg this is painful. Stone is just ignoring him on some of these comments.

Verlander got his velocity back this year I see.

Avila!

Ever since Avila stopped taking at least 2 strikes and became willing to hit it the other way he has been very good offensively.

117 pitches in worthless game....yikes

108+ pitches in 8 straight starts with him. What a joke. Like the outcome of this game really matters or something.

Leaving him in against Cabrera who was 3-3 against Sale too. Lucky it wasn't hit out, and that the inning ended on the next pitch. All for Sale to get a win in a useless game lol

What would you do? Shut him down for the rest of the year and tell all of the fans who have been loyally supporting the team that they can all die and go to Hell?

Have him go around 100 pitches a game and not put unnecessary stress on the biggest asset in your franchise
