TaylorStSox Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That was the best slider he's thrown all day. 2 now. All of our pitchers have been too concerned with trying to miss bats lately. They're overthrowing and trying to be too fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 60+ pitches already. tie game...close play at the plate. Butler comes through again vs. the Sox. What new? Sale entered 8-2, 1.74 ERA at home this year. Hasn't give up more than 3 runs at home all season. Probably was out at home...Royals' crew isn't even convinced that he was safe. Had another strike call against Escobar that missed by an inch. Rios took 1 1/2 steps before he threw that ball. Not sure why...but it cost them. SIGH.

chw42 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This home plate ump is f***ing blind. He called a totally fair ball foul and then Cain was out by an entire foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The good news is that this is the best stuff Sale's had in a while. The bad news is that his command is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Very questionable ball/strike call there against Escobar which caused a 10 pitch AB and then the call at the plate. Sale at 66 pitches. Will be lucky to get through 5. Which exposes the Sox bullpen while Chen cruises through 7 and 8 and they can save their 2-3 best relievers.

From the Royals crew watching it over and over again 3 times and thinking he probably was out. Just missed a homer, then almost the victim of Gordon's great throwing arm there. 3/21 now with a homer against Chen for Beckham, almost 2 homers. 13-69 with RISP, failed to advance the runner as well.
