3 inning dead arm period.

I'll say this, he's found his location after that first inning.

 

Yep, he ditched the loopy slider on the outer half

It's like watching a tall skinny Mark Buehrle

"Everybody chill the f*** out... I know what the f*** I'm doing" - Chris Sale

Sale pitching his behind off without his best stuff.....

 

Scary

It's like watching a tall skinny Mark Buehrle

 

Like if Mark Buehrle mated with Gumby.

Viciedo, Dunn and Konerko all with huge opportunities to blow this one open.

 

Oh, well.

 

 

What did Hawk say?

What did Hawk say?

 

Lots of things. Most of them incoherent.

Sale pitching his behind off without his best stuff.....

 

Scary

The coolest thing I saw about Sale was a clip showing his arm action vs. Johnson's. They are literally identical. It was crazy. The best thing about this year is how Sale has shown an ability to pitch/develop himself. He doesn't just rely on stuff. He has very good command of a multitude of above average pitches. Dude is flat out impressive.

 

I really really hope he stays healthy and has a long career. Dude has a shot to be incredibly special. I'm talking Cy Young special.

What did Hawk say?

Just finally mentioned the dead arm possibility.

Viciedo swinging at ball 4 a foot off the plate

Tigers still losing 6-3 in the top of 8.

Ugh, not a good start to the 5th

If he stays healthy throughout his career forget the Cy Young he has HoF potential.

Drysdale pitched a whole year with a broken bone in pitching hand I call BS Hawk!

the hanging breaking ball is back this inning.

Sale looks really bad so far this inning. His slider is loopy and hanging. Needs to make a big pitch to avoid damage.

Get someone up in the pen. Looks like he's overthrowing everything this inning.

Doesn't have the pitch to put away Kinsler tonight....

 

Uh-oh. Trouble a brewin'.

Warm up the pen

Sale's tank is on EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Blue Jays 8-3 up on the Tigers in the 8th.

Maybe the gameplan tonight was for Sale to tune it down a notch on his fastball considering how GREAT of a fastball hitting team the Rangers are? Think about it. What kinda pitchers kill the sox? Soft tossing lefties.

 

Thats my conspiracy theory.

74 MPH? That's Takatsu territory.
