June 11, 20169 yr I didn't see anyone talking about it on here... was watching the KC broadcast when it happened. Sale was barking at Ventura pretty hard when he took him out of the game. I had never seen him do that before.
June 11, 20169 yr I'm more angry that Robin didn't pull him after the first batter reached. He was clearly gassed and had nothing left. Robin gonna Robin.

June 11, 20169 yr My only concern with Sale is his lower velocity which seems to be generating harder bat-to-ball contact. Should i be concerned?
June 11, 20169 yr Sale has deliberately lowered his velocity, they have talked about it all year. When he got mad last night he was up around 97-99 multiple times
June 11, 20169 yr Author He was barking at Ventura about something... yeah Sale being angry isn't new... but him barking at Ventura is new. I wondered if anyone heard or saw what the issue was.

When he got mad last night he was up around 97-99 multiple times The deliberate decrease in velocity has not yielded much improvement to Sale's performance. He had a great 9 start run to start the season assisted by some luck, the last few starts have not been so great for him and that might be due to the regression that the peripheral numbers indicated.

The idea was to go deeper in the game with fewer pitches. Has that occurred?

June 11, 20169 yr Guys like Sale won't come out of games. He obviously was furious at Ventura for taking him out.

But I guess you guys are really sure so nothing to see here.
