7/3 @ Toronto

[OH FOY]

Sale is getting hit hard.

[vegasbob]

Heckuva play by Chavis to save Sale a lot of pitches. Sale is good, but clearly not a dominant force on the mound.

[OH FOY]

Last out before this inning was smoked. Right at Betts, so that helped.

[vegasbob]

Beni's got enough money not to need a public defender.

 

Trade him for a legit 2 or 3 year vet 2Bman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Where in his prime Sale was easily throwing 95, he now has to overthrow to reach 95, which is affecting his control.

Sale is getting hit hard.

 

This is not the Sale of last year. Not even close. But the damage is limited tonight so far so I won’t complain yet.

[jung]

I can't believe Vaz is calling for all these FB's without some discussion with Sale in the dugout. This is an insane number of FB's for Sale to be throwing...far too many for this to just be Vaz unilaterally.

He is giving up some very hard hit balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

His value drops every game he plays.

Don't know how JDM is not pounding a couple of Wedgesalad pitches

[Station 13]

This game isn't ending 2-1.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Right now, imho, the SOX have 3 untouchable players-Devers, Bogie, and VAZ. Everyone else is expendable in a trade.

Offense needs more runs. Sale has been shaky. Not sure how much longer he will go limiting the damage and then the bullpen comes in. Cringe worthy

You forgot Porcello

JD is struggling with breaking pitches.

 

A bunch of them are. A bunch can't hit them. Chavis can't miss them.

[TylerD]

Vaz!!!!! Man oh man he’s too good.

[Station 13]

Haha Vaz! That extension is looking solid. WOOT

[Tedballgame]

Vaz has been special at the plate this year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

deVAZtating!

[Station 13]

Got our run back.

[jung]

Vaz has been special at the plate this year.

 

Moving just a couple inches off the plate is putting pitches that used to get in on his hands out over the plate and he simply does not try to do anymore than hit it where its pitched. The combination has really been something for him.

[YastrzemskI]

Oh K.

I know most think it nuts to consider moving Mookie Betts but I really do not think he will sign in Boston (or vice versa at $300Million) DD can max his value by peddling him this month to the NL.

[TylerD]

Seriously. Sale is hot garbage this year. People admit it. He f***ing blows.

[Tedballgame]

There goes the lead.

[Station 13]

Sale sucks

[jung]

Well I guess I now know why Vaz is calling for so many FB's but this is ridiculous.

[vegasbob]

A .196 hitter takes Freakin Chris Sale to ruin the lead he had. What a complete shitshow.

[YastrzemskI]

f*** you Chris

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

ACE pitcher? That ship has SALED.
