greg775 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) Thank you! You'd think this was Game 7 of the ALCS and we all bet $50k on the game... Sale was great that half inning. He musta not warmed up correctly or something. It would be nice to bash Hochevar second time through the order at least.

fathom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 QUOTE (kapzk @ May 13, 2012 -> 01:38 AM) Regardless of the fact it was 3 batters, that was 3 pathetic ABs De Aza just missed a triple and Dunn "just missed it". Plenty of time to critique the at bats, but too early to start suggesting we're seeing corpseball tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 12, 2012 -> 07:36 PM) I recall Sale's draft scouting reports saying that his better pitch was his changeup. Bizarre that he doesn't like it anymore -- maybe a side effect of the time spent in bullpen. He might have just lost the feel for it. The pen didn't help though. He faced a lot of lefties last year and you don't want to throw them many change ups. Hopefully he'll add it as the year goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think they just had Hal McRae on an "Our Time" commercial on the Royals' network here. If so, it's about time. McRae was a stud player for the Royals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game threads like Wednesday and Friday are terrible threads to post in because the Sox got the lead early and got good pitching, so it's no one's fault that they're winning. That's why Wednesday and Friday each only got 174 posts while the games before that when the team was losing or fell behind had 400 and 500 posts, and this game is well over 100 in the 2nd inning.

caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Had Hochevar doubting himself a bit off his last couple of horrid starts and on the ropes and then let him off. Just haven't been able to consistently come up with big hits this season. It has happened erratically, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe by coincidence I was here for the start of the game and started posting and the Sox totally sucked the first inning. If the Sox had scored 3, people would be all happy. It's easy to be negative when it's 0-3 and Cy Hochevar isn't getting shelled yet. Sox could come back, sure they could, if Sale settles down and throws zeroes through six.

Sale will be lucky to get through 5 with his pitch count and new focus on his durability by everyone in the org. However, the most important development from this game was Chris fighting through the disastrous first and at least righting the ship. And our offense theoretically SHOULD be able to score at least 3 off Hochevar. Everyone else in the AL has been doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
