greg775 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Sale vs the White Sox in the Cell is coming soon. Hate to be a pessimist but it's gonna be sooo ugly. Our lineup is mighty pathetic. I can't even imagine how many strikeouts he's gonna have. Prediction: 1 hitter or maybe even a no no with 17 Ks and we lose 7-0. You gots a prediction? Reasoning?: Chris Sale has nasty stuff; our lineup has overachieved this year so far; he's mighty motivated after the scissors game and the suspension.

This is like that Little League game or Babe Ruth League game on the south side you didn't even want to hit in because the other pitcher was the guy in the league who was scary fast and unhittable.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Doesn't Sale pitch pretty poorly when he's amped up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He gets himself in trouble sometimes when he gets too psyched up. So he'll either have one of his best performances of the season, or a slightly disappointing outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I wonder if it'll be all happy occasion or if somebody tries to rattle him and starts an incident yelling stuff from the dugout? Or if he hits somebody early. Again, it's a monumental mismatch and he's going to want blood so to speak after the scissors game and the team's reaction to it.

Eminor3rd Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I think Sale will most likely slay us, as he appears to be in the midst of a peak season -- but I'm hoping he gets himself worked up and overthrows and starts walking guys. Of the two, I trust Quintana to stay calm under pressure more, though whether or not the difference will be enough to overcome Sale's raw power remains to be seen. This will be fun one, in that it's a win to root for in a year when most wins don't matter. And our homestand ends on Monday, so I'm actually going to be able to watch the whole game live. I'm excited. Edited May 28, 2017 by Eminor3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3GamesToLove Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So excited for this game. Expecting/hoping he'll get a standing ovation, but you always get those morons who boo any former player regardless of circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting/hoping he'll get a standing ovation, but you always get those morons who boo any former player regardless of circumstances. I've been lucky enough to see Wilbur Wood...Goose Gossage...Terry Forster...BlackJack McDowell...Alex Fernandez...but in terms of Sox pitchers in my lifetime....nobody comes close to Chris Sale in terms of overall greatness as a pitcher. Just nasty at times. Not sure why anyone would boo either. Wish we could have kept him....but he needed to be traded. He's one of the best in the game and I for one enjoy watching him pitch...regardless of who it's for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am really curious to see the Sox reaction towards Sale, and Sale's reaction towards the Sox. It wouldn't shock me if he were angry/bitter towards some people, because he is that kind of temperamental and petty. I kind of expect someone to get beaned.
