greg775 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sox bats streaky as a whole. Six runs first two innings then nothin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 And that's the perfect illustration of why many are skeptical of Morel. He hit that ball well to right, but he just doesn't have the opposite field power to consistently hit it over the right fielder's head. Compare that with Casper Wells earlier, who made it look easy to hit it off the right field wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sale at 101 pitches and climbing. Thornton warming up for the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Not quite sure why Sale is starting this inning. At around 100 pitches coming into the inning, and they weren't exact easy innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 110 pitches. 11 K's. That's why he led the majors in K's/9 ratio for all left handed pitchers, just over 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noonskadoodle Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If Sale can pick up 11 punchouts on an off night, ill take it hahaha. Our scouts take a beating in the draft process but they absolutely NAILED it with this pick. Sale is a dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that with Casper Wells earlier, who made it look easy to hit it off the right field wall. That's because Sale's fastball supplied half the power, lol. The point remains on Morel. He's more productive as a Joe Crede-Lite (like in the last 6 weeks of '11) swinging away at the bottom of the line-up than putting up a 550-575 OPS at the top of the line-up and hitting everything to the opposite field.

BFirebird Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just turned it on....was Sale effectively wild tonight? Looked at the box score and he seemed to throw a lot of balls..but 11 Ks? Good to see Dunn with a 2B & homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) This game is becoming more and more dangerous. Sale ends up giving up 3 runs in 6 1/3rd. Viciedo's arm holds Ichiro to a single, that run is becoming quite important. Thankfully, no Adam Jones, Reimold, Wieters, Reynolds, Davis or Andino to face tonight for the back of the pen.

Noonskadoodle Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Icihiro is to good. Tank unleashed his arm strength on that one tho. Should get a nice amount of assists out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Just going by his minor league track record as well. That's why a lot of people have compared him to Carlos Lee as a hitter. When he has a more compact swing, he can go on the hottest of hot streaks. But now he's way too long and in-between. Hence, the nickname Hot Fire. When he came up with the Sox in 2010, when he was hitting well last year in May/June, now he's as cold as can be but it's really just 4-5 games. Here I always thought he gets compared to Lee because they're big, line drive hitters that are converted 3rd baseman. I'm just giving you s***. Nobody knows what Viciedo will be for about 800 or so AB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had about a 20 minute top of the 1st inning while Sale was sitting in the sugout. From the start he was battling, but as you can see he did one hell of a job. 1st inning he had 1st & 3rd nobody out then went on to K Ichiro & got Smoak to hit into a DP to get out of the inning unharmed.
