4/22 vs Detroit

[d-money]

23 pitches for sale that inning.

[jung]

So Boyd is a LH starter that cannot even threaten to throw a Change to a RH Hitter. This should be interesting.

[d-money]

Well that was a s***** start. Hope sale can pitch shutout innings.

[vegasbob]

10 pitch at bat, resulting in a single. Sale isn't freakin' anymore. Then a 3 pitch K. What up, thin man ?

[mvp 78]

Can't trust anything he says anymore.

 

Con Man Cora.

The guy needs to step it up if they’re gonna turn this around. He’s making a lot of big mula.

[Maxbialystock]

Might as well shut this thread down because the game situation is hopeless--no JBJ in CF. I read recently that, had JBJ not been in center field for the Rays, they would have swept us.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sale's velocity isn't what it has been and his slider is flat today, excepting the last one he threw

[d-money]

Let’s go Sox! Need that offense to get going.

[vegasbob]

Pitch count at 44. An overrated number but still an indicator of possible length to the start. This one doen't look too good for 6 innings so far. Beginning with the game warm up and between inning throws, most 100 pitch counts actually are closer to 200 total throws by the time the starter is done.

[jung]

Since Boyd does not have a change we are going to see a good deal of early count swings from Sox hitters.

[vegasbob]

By contrast the Tiger pitcher, Boyd, has 13 pitches for 6 outs.

[d-money]

Well once again slow start by this offense. This offense clearly doesn’t look like last year’s offense.

Too easy thus far for him.

Our freaking starters are gonna wear out this bullpen come July.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well once again slow start by this offense. This offense clearly doesn’t look like last year’s offense.

 

Sometimes the opposing pitcher has something to do with the offense being slow. Boyd is a good pitcher.

Boyd is at 14 through 2.

[d-money]

Get some offense going!!! Come on!!!

Didn't an Oakland pitcher get a no-hitter against last year's lineup?

[d-money]

He’s doing ok this year but last year he was pretty much an average pitcher. An era over 4.

Lin, Pearce, Leon combined BA of .238 and rarely on base in front of Beni-Betts

[mvp 78]

How do you walk Vaz on 4 pitches?

[mvp 78]

Lin, Pearce, Leon combined BA of .238 and rarely on base in front of Beni-Betts

 

Reverse lock.

[vegasbob]

Lin making a grateful liar of me. Now for Leon

[jung]

Geezuz Christ Sandy

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing's for sure; the SOX can never have JBJ and Leon in the line-up in the same game.

[jung]

OK Boys I get why you are swinging early in counts. But at least get a FB. He only has two pitches. So why would you swing at an 0-0 slider BENI

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Betts getting his groove on.

[vegasbob]

Betts may well be back. That was a key hit.

[mvp 78]

Runs!
