Dick Allen Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If it keeps him from pitching the Royals series, it's a very smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If its just one inning for Sale then its just a side session and Sale would be easily be available for Sunday's game against the Royals. I'm guessing one inning of course but one inning might be why Ventura agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This makes AL squad that much better. We want home field for the White Sox in the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Chris wants to pitch, so he should pitch. 1 inning will be fine and Monday would have been a side session day anyway. I see no problem with letting the world see just how filthy this guy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Of course Yost wants him to pitch. Yost wants home field advantage in the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Between warmups and the one inning of work he'll get, he'll throw maybe 40 pitches. Normal side session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I do find it amusing that we keep hearing about how important this game is because of home field advantage in the WS. Last I checked, the 2014 WS champ won game 7 on the road.

Harry Chappas Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Would love to see him close the game or throw the first inning. Â Other than that no need for him to actually pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 01:23 PM) I think there's plenty reason to want it. That's not really much of a sample to go off of in my opinion. Â Agreed, and I'm not saying you don't want HFA. It's just the commercials make it sound so dramatic, while showing Giants highlights from the World Series. It's amusing given how it played out last year.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 But will Sale want to see Yost's players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) can someone verify something, is a player is selected to play in the ASG, management has nothing to say about it, right? Â i mean RV stated that he preferred that he wouldn't pitch that is not up to him. Edited July 13, 2015 by LDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Every quote I read from Yost just screams that he wants to put Sale at a disadvantage this weekend. Everything from the world wants to see him pitch to talking Ventura into letting him pitch. Both bulls*** and Robin is an idiot especially considering he let him go another inning the other day when he had just come off a CG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both bulls*** and Robin is an idiot especially considering he let him go another inning the other day when he had just come off a CG. Whatever Yost's motivations, it's reasonable for him to want Sale to pitch an inning. And there was no reason for Ventura to send him back out there...he's overpitched Sox starters all year long, especially Sale. And the front office is abetting his nonsense.

greg775 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) This is crazy. Yost is not scared of the White Sox for goshsakes and not scared of Sale pitching for the White Sox. Sale happens to be a helluva pitcher and if I were the manager of the AL I'd f***ing want to pitch him as well. This is stupid. The Royals own the White sox no matter who is pitching. Why the hell would Yost care about the White Sox this weekend? Even if KC dropped all four, they'd be way ahead of the pathetic White Sox. I don't mind discussion but this one is just dumb. Yost is manager of the AL team and Sale is one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Of course he SHOULD pitch Tuesday. As a Sox fan and viewing I WANT him to pitch in the all star game.

Lemon_44 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Much ado about nothing. Â I also don't think RV is over-using Sale. If Sale was throwing upwards of 125-130 pitches every start, then there could be a complaint. But 108-113 pitches is not overloading a SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/76...pitch-star-game  Actually in this article cooper really didn't want sale to pitch either. Alot of people was mentioning about pitching the all star game like as a normal side session but I remember a tweet yesterday saying sale hasn't been doing alot of side sessions lately cause of his work load. Also saw that since sale will pitch the all star he might not pitch the games this weekend against the royals and would push him to the cards series.

It has nothing to do with "being afraid of the White Sox". He has a 4 game series vs. the White Sox and Sale pitching the All Star Game may mean he doesn't have to face him which gives KC a better chance of winning a game. That isn't just the White Sox who would benefit, but each team in the division. It is probably very rare to have a 4 game series vs. Chicago and miss Sale. Maybe he won't, but Robin did mention perhaps holding Sale back until Tuesday if he did pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If I had to guess, I would guess the biggest factor is that Chris Sale REALLY wants to pitch in the ASG. I haven't seen a quote from him yet, but he seems like the kind of guy that would just eat up an event like the all-star game. He is an insane competitor, and the chance for him to pitch against the best in the world? It seems right up his alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
