Quin Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Congrats to Sale! I also hope that this brings to light more of Walsh's accomplishments. I feel like he needs to be honored by the team. But damn, Sale is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've noticed that Sale is much more effective when he pitches to contact like he's been doing in the past inning or so. When he tries to strike everyone out, he tends to make mistakes with his fastball and then gives up homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got to be better in April next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
