Sale looks terrible.

 

I hope they don't push him too much down the stretch

What is with Sale and Minnesota? He blows against them.

 

Just joining the super long list of White Sox over the last 14 years.

What is with Sale and Minnesota? He blows against them.

 

Arrieta shut them out.

Sale doesn't really pitch well in big games, it seems. He's letting Minnesota get to him with being crossed up, throwing some fastballs WAY off location

 

I'd be interested to know how he'd fare in a pennant race

Did hawk say he made the throw to the wrong base?

Arrieta shut them out.

 

Probably only have a few ABs against Arrieta versus tons versus Sale.

This is not a big game. The Sox are done.

No right base

Why does Sale seem to suck balls against the Twins?

 

Like seriously, he looks like crap.

Twins just make Sale their b****. Need to get this fixed for next year.

Why does he keep throwing fastballs to Dozier

Arrieta shut them out.

Minnesota is pulling outside pitches too.

 

It's like they're able to read what he's throwing. No one is swinging through his pitches. It's unbelievable.

 

He cost himself a Cy Young tonight. I hope he doesn't become one of "best players not to win cy young" pitchers

The Metrodome curse has found its way down the street to Target Field.

Reckless Sale. Just chucking not pitching.

Seems like Sale is overthrowing his change-up

That's 2 balls that Flowers should of caught that got by him.

That slim, outside chance of Sale winning the Cy Young, I think, is gone. Even if he hits 300 Ks.

Assuming we're stuck with LaRoche next year, we have to platoon him AND play him more at 1B. Not only is Adam clearly the better defender at 1B, but Abreu has not shown any issues with DHing. Given Thompson's splits against LHP, he should be in the lineup every game LaRoche is on the bench. Therefore, here's what I'd propose doing at 1B, DH, & LF next year:

 

Against RHP

 

1B: LaRoche

DH: Abreu

LF: Melky

It's long gone

Odds were overwhelming that Keuchel would've won it anyway, even if Sale had gotten to a 3 ERA or something close to that.

 

There's always next year. He just has to avoid starts like these and he'll win a Cy Young eventually.

Twins just make Sale their b****. Need to get this fixed for next year.

It's between his ears. He came into this game with Twins being the boogey men against him and wet the bed

Meh Sale doesn't deserve the CY with how many dud games he has had this year. It's one thing to lose games and give up few runs it's another when you get shelled for 6-9 runs which has happened to him a few times.

Agreed his ERA is too high this year.

Be nice if the Sox offense could get going and protect their pitcher.

Ha, they look clueless vs this guy
