Sale vs Junis

 

Hopefully, Chris Sale, Star Wars Night and my at the game mojo will overcome this break with protocol.

They said earlier today that he would miss tonight, but will return to lineup tomorrow.

[jung]

Thanks!

Who, iortiz?

[Youk Of The Nation]

iortiz, we are all very disappointed in you. Were I able to upload video, I would upload a minute and a half of me just shaking my finger at you admonishingly.

[a700hitter]

I will post the Star Wars characters later for you Youk.

[a700hitter]

Two easy innings for Chris Sale to start the game.

[jung]

If there is a guy in our lineup that it helps to be aggressive, its Rafi

[d-money]

Wtf is Chris Sale doing?

[Jasonbay44]

More bad defense tonight. Come on Vazquez and Devers...

[d-money]

1-0 lead for the royals.

[d-money]

This offense has to get going.

[Maxbialystock]

Terrific throw by JD, but of course that doesn't count because he's a terrible leftfielder.

[a700hitter]

From where I was sitting, JD’s throw looked good. Did it short hop Vasquez and did it beat Perez?

Throw was good. One hop. Vaz tried to tag the runner before he had control.

 

EDIT - to be clear, yes it beat the runner.

Never heard of this junis but he's making us look silly. Sale can't give up anymore runs.

Actually Vaz could not really make an effort to control the throw. An actual effort to just catch the ball naturally would likely have resulted in Perez just flat beating the throw. Vaz gambled and lost. But had he not gambled, he would have lost anyway.

 

It was still a nice throw from JD. Still does not change the obvious deficiencies JD has in the OF.

[Station 13]

Why won't they score runs for Sale?

[d-money]

I hate those walks with two outs.

[iortiz]

My bad, this day was crazy... anyways jung’s mojo in effect. .

[jung]

Fielders seem to be dodging more broken lumber this year than I remember for so few games played.

Actually 700 saved us. I just posted the lineup.

It's ridiculous. He's pitching much better thus far.

Ya you may be right, I was going by the second angle they showed where the ball was basically in his glove while he started to swing his arm over for the tag. Perez had slid so wide that Vaz had him tagged. My thinking is that if he was able to squeeze the ball he had him. Which actually is what you are saying if I understand (he didn't control the throw). So we probably agree.

Thanks jung. You both are the best.

[guinness22]

Unless I am mistaken, no clean innings for Sale tonight. Fortunately only one run against. C'mon bats, lets get rolling.

Correctamento

Geez this offense looks like dog s*** against junis.
