bmags Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Gotta say the mlb push notification saying "SOX NEAR EXTENSION WITH SALE" was one of the more gutpunching moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is wrong with Sale. I've been watching on the Sawx feed on MLB.TV. If the Sawx knew that his velocity was this down in Spring Training I have no idea why they signed him to that contract, other than justification for trading the guys they traded to the Sox.

Texsox Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Most of this is behind a pay wall but the free stuff is interesting https://theathletic.com/903675/2019/04/03/chris-sale-isnt-alarmed-instead-his-second-start-looks-like-the-definition-of-going-out-there-and-just-figuring-it-out/ Quote OAKLAND – It was almost exactly one month ago that Chris Sale sat in front of his spring training locker and inadvertently predicted almost exactly what happened to him on Tuesday night. “Someone like Nolan Ryan, right,” Sale said. “If he didn’t feel good for a day, the whole world didn’t know it. He just threw at a lower speed…. If that happens to one of us? It’s all over Twitter. It’s all over everywhere. Something’s wrong! Something’s happened! He’s lost it, right? Back then, they’re just grinding. That’s called grinding. That’s the definition of going out there and just figuring it out.” Chris Sale was grinding on Tuesday. And, yes, the whole world knew it.

Sale has had lower velocity to start seasons before but that meant 93-94 not 88-89. His velocity hasn't just dropped it has cratered.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Something is wrong in his shoulder. Good luck to him but this could be the beginning of the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's going through the dreaded "dead arm" phase a few weeks later than planned but I'd be scared shitless if I was a Sawx fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Boston's pitching staff implosion is reminding me of the 2006 White Sox. Everyone's arm fell off that season. Freddy and Jose Contreras were never the same. Edited April 5, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
