Looked unhittable last night. With his pitch count, I thought there was a chance for a no-hitter. Because he only pitched three innings, will his next start be as scheduled (vs Kershaw) or will it be moved?

I'd bet anything they just keep him on schedule. Monday vs Kershaw.

“He’ll wait the five [games],” Ventura said. “It’s at the point where he’s coming back and doing what he’s doing. There’s no reason to [pitch any earlier].”

 

 

Holy s***, what a matchup

That is definitely circled on the calendar.

If he hadn't have been coming off of the injury, maybe they move him up a day. There is no good reason to right now. Good move by Ventura.

Yea this could be a blessing in disguise. They managed to hold on for the win and they slowly get to ramp Sale back up. I just hope Ventura doesn't see this as a reason to let him go over 110 or so next outing. Just keep the kid gloves on him no reason to burn him out this year, we got bigger fish to fry down the road.

The Sale vs. Kershaw match up could also be the first game that Abreu is back (hopefully)

I'd bet anything they just keep him on schedule. Monday vs Kershaw.

And my tickets are for Tuesday. FML

What do you mean by "down the road?" If we trade Lexi like a lot of people want, the team will be in all-out rebuilding mode and still several years from contention. Sale won't be getting any younger as years tick off the rebuilding calendar.

Oh boy... fan-of-elite-pitching-baseball-boner-time

I am so going to that game. I saw Sale/Kershaw last year, and it was awesome (maybe it was 2012?).

I just bought my ticket!

I just bought a ticket for Monday. They are cheap! Just buy another

So if Sale is pitching Monday vs. the Dodgers, that would put him on pace to pitch Sunday vs. the Angels? Want to grab my ticket to that one now too..

Assuming no rainouts, Sale's next three starts would be 6/2 @ LA Dodgers, 6/8 @ LA Angels and 6/13 vs. KC at home.

 

That 6/13 game should have good attendance, most of the outfield is already bought out. That's the only series we play at home in June plus it's a fireworks night. Promo code DPU6 if any is looking to nab cheap tickets for that night.

Thanks! I'd love to attend a home Sox game (haven't been in years), but it's tough considering most of the time I'm home is because of other commitments. I do love that they play in LA for an entire week though. Works out nicely for me! Ticket bought for 6/2. Purchasing tickets for 6/8 when I hear back from my friends in Anaheim.

 

Just confirmed: hi8is will be taking hi8is Sr. to the Monday game vs the dodgers. Sitting behind home plate in row GG. Thinking if making a Soxtalk Sale K-Zone sign

I just bought my ticket!

 

I just scrambled to WhiteSox.com to buy tickets, and was about to text my buddies to come with....then I noticed it was in LA.

I noticed that the Sox have a travel day between playing the Angels and Dodgers. I guess SoCal traffic really is as bad as everybody says it is.

I went all in for Tuesday, seats right behind the dugout. So I'm tapped.

I am sure the players are devastated

This just gives me a day to stalk down Gordon Beckham... think they'll spend Wednesday in LA or Anaheim? Maybe they'll hit up Disneyland...

Awesome, my birthday's 6/2.

I'm going to the game myself. Sitting in row O in FB26, to the right of the Sox dugout. I'll have a beer with ya!

 

I am so stoked. I can't wait to get drunk and watch (what should be) an epic pitching duel.

 

Sale's FIP is 1.79. Kershaw's is 1.54. Good lord we are in for a showdown.

Hell yeah, nice man. I bet those seats will be great. I sat about 10 feet from the Sox dugout in 2012, and paid a bit for it, but it was fun.
