August 3, 201015 yr I wish they would have started Torres for the first game and then promoted Sale for the second game. The order they are doing this in is silly.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) I wish they would have started Torres for the first game and then promoted Sale for the second game. The order they are doing this in is silly. Agreed. Six man bullpen for both games of the doubleheader now instead of just game 1.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) I'm by no means an expert on our minor league players so can someone chime in and give us some perspective on how Sale compares to recent pitching hopefuls? Can he be the real deal? Umm. Hard to compare him to anyone. Maybe Poreda with better control and more pitches? He's fairly polished already.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) I don't believe anyone has seen enough of him to actually give a valid opinion. Keith Law has, and he said he sucks

August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 10:48 AM) maybe mark wants to have a few drinks during the night game? Mark can drink during the game he starts, for all I care. I just don't understand why you'd limit your roster for game 1 if you didn't have to.
August 3, 201015 yr Author They're probably hoping Mark will give them more innings than Torres, leaving the pen fresh for game 2 when they're more likely to be used.

August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) maybe mark wants to have a few drinks during the night game? Maybe Threets actually has an injury? He was unable to retire anyone his last time out.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 12:07 PM) Maybe Threets actually has an injury? He was unable to retire anyone his last time out. I'm not a big believer in coincidences. So call me a skeptic, but I doubt he is.

August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) Is it official yet? I want some Sale With his K:BB rate at infinity:4, add me to the list! I just wanna know what that type of stuff looks like.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Is it official yet? I want some Sale Not until after Torres pitches tonight. since that'll be the roster spot Sale takes it appears. Edited August 3, 201015 yr by whitesoxfan101
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Is it official yet? I want some Sale It won't be official until after game 2 today. Edited August 3, 201015 yr by JorgeFabregas
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) With his K:BB rate at infinity:4, add me to the list! I just wanna know what that type of stuff looks like. Scouting report says low 90s plus fastball that gets grounders, plus change, average slider, very good control.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) very good control. The 6 BB in 10 minor league innings are something of a concern there, but it's so early...
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) The 6 BB in 10 minor league innings are something of a concern there, but it's so early... He walked 14 in 103 IP this year for Florida Gulf Coast. 9 in 55 IP in the Cape last summer. Of course, he's now relieving against AAA hitters. I wouldn't worry about it yet.
August 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) I wouldn't worry about it yet. If he's now going to be facing big league hitters...in terms of him being effective this year, yeah it's a worry. Long term development is different.

Long term development is different. Fair, but I would need to see him a few times to figure out why he's walking guys. Are high level pro hitters not biting on the junk, is he nibbling or is he just struggling with being ready when he comes out of the pen?
August 4, 201015 yr Comcast Sports Net reported tonight that Sale was promoted, and Torres was sent down, but I have yet to see any mention of it here.... ??? Maybe it just hasn't been announced officially yet. But hell of a game to see tomorrow if EJax and Sale make their debuts on the same night.

Will be epic to see EJax and Sale pitch on same night.
