08/11 Tigers @ Red Sox

[vegasbob]

The return of Chris F. Sale. WTF, why not ?

Keep the streak alive

Way past time for hitters to breakthrough

[Old Red]

Sale Day! $41 tickets for #41. Get ‘em while they last. Edited August 11, 2023 by Old Red

[mvp 78]

Sale is going to throw 60 pitches? 70?

 

So the expectation is 3 innings?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Detroit starter Skubal(LH) has made only 6 starts this season and is averaging about 5 innings per start. His ERA, K's and WHIP are all very respectable.

[Old Red]

That guy is obsessed!

60 pitches and 4 innings are the 2 targets.

[Thunder]

We're winning the next 6 and going into Yankee Stadium back in the WC race. Book it

Clearly intentional. Cora has also stacked lefties--3 or 4 in a row--now and then. I like alternating them.

 

This lineup is missing Duran and Turner.

Well-timed prediction, what with Story and Sale both back, Reyes suddenly hitting up a storm, McGuire back and looking very solid behind the plate, Whitlock due back Sunday, etc. Duran's slumping, Duvall and Story are below their career averages, etc, but this team clearly has potential for a run.

If he has 5-4, he almost always alternates.

[redsoxrules]

Sales velo looks good early on. 95-96

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Sale's stuff is so good tonight he just straightened out one of Miggy's curls

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

File that under W. Web gem.

[redsoxrules]

That was a sick play from Baez

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tigers are being pretty defensive.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Wong is alright

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Throwing 97 and 98 down by the knees is pretty impressive.

[d-money]

Better get some offense going right now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like the SOX have finally got their long-term 1st baseman.

[Duran Is The Man]

hell yeah!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Houses in the houses

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very impressive performance by Sale. Just that one hanging slider.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Here comes the Bear Claw. Edited August 12, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just grin and Bear Claw it.

[Oscars]

Bear claw stinks

[d-money]

Just like that it’s a game again.
