No, Sale started in college, and he only pitched an inning or two at a time in the minors.

Why doesn't Sale start? Was he a starter in the minors?
The whole warmup process is a lot more than 7 pitches. It sucks they started the game, but it's the right thing to do not to start him tonight.

Why the hell wouldn't Jackson pitch one of those? He threw 7 f***ing pitches wasn't it?? Its not like he was over worked there.
He threw two pitches before the delay. I don't think it's a big deal.

Leaving Santos in the game is absolutely inexcusable.
Hawk said the division will be won in the last 22 games because the Sox have 16 home games, but both teams have 28 home games left.
Both teams will go 29-21 the final 50 games and end up on 92-70. Game 163 at Target Field on Oct 4.
It would be funny if that happened, but really there's no reason to lose tonight. We should dominate Matusz tonight.

LMAO. Man, I just spit up some fruit punch. Well played, flavum.
I have both teams going 29-21 the final 50 games, so as far as I'm concerned they're playing for the division tonight.

I guess it depends on how you define "must-win", because the absolute worst position the Sox can be in after today is tied with the Twins with 50 games left.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sale makes his debut in a big situation...or at least a close game. Unless Danks goes 8+ innings, they're probably going to need him tonight because Ozzie is going to want to keep Thornton, Putz, Santos, and Jenks out of this game tonight.
