I figured I'd try my luck at making a game thread. I'm 0-3 this year when I make a game thread, so hopefully that changes today.

 

What are your predictions for Chris Sale tonight? I'm guessing:

 

7.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K with the WIN.

9.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 22 K with the LOSS.

9.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 22 K with the LOSS.

 

I have a feeling I see this tonight.

7 innings, 2 runs. Sox lose 3-2 in 10.

Free game on MLB.TV too.

Let's make a winner of Chris Sale tonite. This would be a real great time for the Sox to step up

Sale deserves a win tonight, but unless he throws a CG shutout it's gonna be hard. It's the national league so I say Sale's line is

 

8 IP, 1 ER, 1 BB, 16 K's and a no decision.

 

Bloke to Choke: Bullpen

On the bright side, if Lynn shuts down the Sox that means he will be in the game longer and give Sale more K opportunities when he bats.

Last time lynn pitched in 2012 against sox. I remember him mowing down hitters. 7.1 ip, 3 hits, 1bb and set his career high with 12 ks against the sox.

More of the same tonight.

It's hard to do anything when you have basically 5 hitters in the lineup.

We have a Pete Kozma sighting. Beware the grindiness Chris!

You gotta pick a guy from that one.

With Sale and Abreu who are the other 3?

 

I will be at the game. Hoping for a Chris Sale perfect game

Would anyone be opposed to the names in a hat approach? I caught the tail end of the Cubs at Cardinals on Saturday, and Kasper was throwing that out there as something Maddon would be one to try in an effort to spark an offense (and it would be entirely unsurprising to me if, stupidly, it worked for him). The Sox are what they are though, so if it got anyone to start hitting in an effort to maybe generate any interest from some buyer...

You gotta pick a guy from that one.

 

Bloke to Choke: David Robertson

I've seen Sale pitch only once and it truly is amazing to see that slider in person. I'll be rooting for the perfecto for ya

22-8 against the NL central. That's impressive!

Sale looks locked in so far. He only threw 1 ball that whole inning.

only 1 K.

 

WTF Chris??

gillaspie took his time and patiently threw that ball in the dirt. Nice scoop by Jose

Big break

What a break Alexi rolled his hands yet again.

This ought to be good...
