Get through this inning.
-
He was so good in the playoffs. What’s happened :;
-
Agreed. Though it was working for Sale last night a little bit. But yes I know what you mean.
-
God thing our offense is cookin. Could be a shoot out...... not.
-
Alright. This isn’t good.
-
Well at least we’re hitting.
-
Please let’s not get shut out again.
-
Ya, I would rather see him get the start against Arizona in the warmth personally. -
Ya I tend to agree with you Kimmi, though I've seen this story played out before in the MLB, NFL and NHL. But Sale still played like a winner last night so I am sure he is fine.
-
Exactly how I feel I give a s*** if Sale ever throws 97-100 again. If he is making it 6 strong innings giving up 2 runs or less that is the Sale I like to see regardless of the velocity. It was concerning because of how poor he looked against Seattle. But if he can continue the play we saw last night I don’t really care how he pitches. 6 innings with 1 run is awesome whether you strike out 10 players or you get no strike outs. It’s actually a good sign because if his fast ball isn’t there he has some other weapons to fall back on.
-
True! If we don’t hit tonight we have bigger problems than worrying about Sales velocity.
-
Well hopefully they bring that back. Resting a player or two shouldn’t be the reason our offense sucks. We have a very good team based on many players not just one or two. But judging from the last couple of games I don’t think it will make a huge deal if we decide to rest Xander. This could just be one of those weird series where 1 or 2 runs is all it takes to win. Good pitching tonight from Eovaldi and HOPEFULLY not being shut out a third night in a row will result in a win.
-
At this point what does it matter? We have gone 2 and a half games putting up 1 run and 2 straight games with 0 runs. The offense can't get any worse. Eovaldi might have to go 9 scoreless innings for us to have a shot tonight. Yes I'm being a negative nancy I know.
-
Good post, I agree with all of that actually.
-
Ya agreed! I don't think it's anything serious. But it was great watching the Pats beat the Chiefs yet again lol.
-
Yup it was a huge reason.... Every week lied to the faces of the fans and said Luck will play, he is fine.... Did it in 2017 as well damn well knowing he wasn't going to play all year. Did it just to keep fans coming and sell tickets. Granted he was probably told by the owners and GM to do it as well but with the lying, and dreadful season of 2017 and horrible defense his time came to a crashing end. And just like us speculating with Sale, Colts fans are doing the same with Luck and his shoulder. He looked god awful against the Chiefs in the playoffs. Throwing 30 yards looked like a stretch for him. Time will tell if that was a one off game (as he was good all season) or if his shoulder is giving him fits again.
-
Lol, it's all good. It's all speculation right now on what's going on with Sale. At the end of the day we will probably never know the severity of his injury if that is indeed what he has. As a Colts fan I know this feeling all too well with Luck in 2016.
-
Let's focus on this one first, and then I will see what I can come up with. Edit: Also I didn’t see a bunch of other threads on Sale. On the first page I saw one on his contract. If this discussion has been beat to death feel free to close this and point me toward that discussion.
-
I agree, he will run into trouble more without that 97 plus fast ball..... A lot of good hitting teams might give him trouble. But it's tough to rest a guy when he played as good as he did last night. If he has another game like he did against Seattle then I will really start to be concerned. Hard to believe his velocity has gone down that much, but that breaking ball was working wonders for him.
-
Obviously Sale's velocity is way down watching last night there is no doubt about that, but the guy still pitched a great 6 innings and gave us a chance to win. If he can do that each and every week regardless if he has his super fastball I am all for it. My take is they are saving his shoulder so he is going more with the sliders, breaking balls..... However the fast balls he threw were concerning I won't lie. So my question..... Would the Sox organization risk playing an injured Chris Sale knowing he is injured? I hope this isn't the case. Could be costly in the future. I doubt they would do this (I hope) but this wouldn't be the first time a team has played a star player knowing he is injured. Take the Indianapolis Colts playing Andrew Luck in 2016 knowing he had a bad shoulder and needed surgery. Took him out of the game for an entire year. It does happen, I just hope this isn't the case with Sale.
-
What?!?!?!?! The guys velocity was down no doubt but come on. Outside of that first run he went 5 shut out innings and his last 3 innings went quickly as lightning. I believe a total of 16 pitches thrown in innings 4 and 5. Can’t remember 6. If he can do that every time he is out I want him out there. Believe it or not there is more to Sale than just the fast ball. Yes I agree if it’s some serious injury then I don’t want to play him but I really don’t think it is. He was playing lights out after that first inning. That’s nonsense talk. Sorry don’t agree what so ever.
-
First series our pitching was awful. This series we can’t buy a run for the life of us. Wasted a great performance by Sale.
-
We suck. See you tomorrow.
-
Another close call but not enough evidence to over turn.
-
Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!
