I wish I lived in Chicago. Tix must be cheap.

Having Melky bunt while batting lefty and being one of the hotter Sox hitters is questionable especially with the bottom of the order coming up.Had to they'd put a runner on 1st to set up a DP .

On the other hand, a 2-0 lead with Sale pitching. After the bunt it was looking mighty impressive that we had a man on third, one out just two pitches after the single.

If Sale can get through this inning and at least some of the eighth, the bullpen will thank him.

 

Anyone else seen enough of Jerry Sands?

He has 8ks in 13 ABs. I think even Matt Davidson is jealous.

Should have got Bruce as soon as LaRoche quit

 

I'd rather have Markakis than Bruce. And I'm not all that hot on Markakis either.

Little early to be too optimistic, but Davidson has had a great week at AAA after a rough start.

 

 

Weird to see so many 2 strike counts but so few strikeouts for Sale.

Agreed

I am good with taking Sale out and use Duke/Albers for the 8th.

102 pitches through 7 for Sale. The 8th inning will be an interesting call for Ventura.

Why is Johnson warming up? If we need a reliever it should be Danks relieving and Johnson starting IMO.

Because of johnson's success in the MLB?

I like it. He's diversifying his ways to get guys out. He's a beast.

Let him start the 8th, IMO

Bring him back out there for 8. Give Albers and Jones the day off after going yesterday.

Sale is good.

 

Saladino should start to play more.

 

Score more runs.

Sale has been perfect today if you take away the 2 singles by Trout.

Johnson is a young righty and I'm all about 3 lefty, two righty starters. Also Danks might have some value in the pen. As much as I love him, he is not a very good starter.

Yeah try to see if he can get through it. I know he got hit hard around 100 pitch mark against the Rays, but today might be different.

If Sale can get at least one guy out in 10 pitches, I'd go to Robertson and see if he can get four or five outs. Jones and Albers could use some rest and, with Danks pitching tomorrow, I'd be willing to bet that Robertson won't have a save opportunity.

 

Sale is good.

 

Saladino should start to play more.

 

Score more runs.

Albers should be fine today. Didn't throw a ton of pitches yesterday.

This has gotta be Richards last AB right?

Strange that Richards is still in.

Who hasn't shown he can get MLB hitters out. Let him earn his way into the rotation by showing he has learned to get MLB hitters out.

Strange that Richards is still in.

 

A good offense would have tagged him for 5 runs by now.
