50% drop-off in offense from the start of the season through today's game has me a little worried.

"Mark Gonzales

In each of the Sox's first two games, every starter but Rios has at least one hit."

Sale looks like he is rushing his motion some times.

Mercy, Choo had no chance.

GAS!

That got on Choo QUICK!

That looked 'bout 98.

AWESOME job Chris Sale

Impressive inning by Sale here.

The Royals have five times the attendance of CLE today

Big ups to EJ. 2 ER in 6 innings. That'll work after that start!

Any chance the guns in cleveland are a little slow? Or does it seem like each pitcher has lost 2-3 MPH? I want to see Thornton pitch since he is always a consistent 97+. If he is hitting 93-95, then I will be convinced it's a slow gun.

Seriously? I would guess that means KC has about 25,000 there, which means like 5K here in Cleveland? Wow, that's awful.

Later in this season, Alexei will kill a fastball down the middle like that one.

It's kinda cold there.

Hanrahan can go away now, please.

I wouldn't be surprised if both the pitchers and the radar guns are slighly affected by the cold.

I think the gun in cleveland is probably accurate...and most other guns are usually 2-3 mph over estimating...also its cold and early

Really like what I'm seeing from Juan so far, that ball looked like it was gonna find a gap.

Juan Pierre is hitting the ball harder than he did all last year.

I'd be more worried about his lack of control. He reminds me of watching Humber in ST.

 

You seem like you want him to fail so you can say you're right...

I'm sure the paid attendance in Cle. will be 12,000-14,000, so officially, I'm exaggerating, but as far as people actually in the park I don't think I'm too far off. K.C.'s got most of its lower bowl full and a good crowd around the outfield

Ok, Mark Gonzalez is posting that the attendance is about 10K in Cleveland right now. I am not so sure the Royals are drawing 50K right now...

Much better day for Sale.
