Kyyle23 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 @CSNHayes Chris Sale had roughly 100 friends/family here. He's now 2-2 w/ a 1.44 ERA at Tropicana Field. Grew up in Lakeland, Fla., 45 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) 6 over would put them at 84-78. The last wild card in the AL last year was 86-76. Yep, just do two over or better. 90 is the goal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Absolutely love the winning, absolutely love the pitching but man the offense has got to start showing up. Can't expect the pitchers to keep going all year like this, they have to have some room for error. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't expect the pitchers to keep going all year like this, they have to have some room for error. Mark The Sox hit a lot of balls hard early in this game and had some tough luck. The Rays could have easily lost by a few more runs. Odorizzi settled in a bit, but he was very fortunate that there wasn't a worse outcome. I feel as if the offense DID show up today, just didn't get any bounces until the 9th inning. If the team as a whole can keep hitting balls hard as they did today, you will soon be singing a different tune about the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Austin Jackson improved 2 positions defensively. Eaton's a pretty nifty RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The Sox are 21ST in the Majors, in runs scored, averaging just 3.5 runs per game. Their OBP is under .300, at just .288. It's amazing that they are 8 and 2. This pitching is just terrific. I hope that Ventura starts hitting Melky behind Abreu and in front of Frazier, vs RHP. That seems like their best option, until they can acquire that middle of the order left handed bat, which I'm always advocating. Cabrera doesn't have the power, but he's a good run producer, and he seems to be on one of his streaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team as a whole can keep hitting balls hard as they did today, you will soon be singing a different tune about the offense. The Rays announcers said in postgame the same thing about the Rays. They felt they hit Sale better late in the game---great catch by Eaton, ball Melky caught on warning track and the rocket right to Rollins. These things even out. Sale walked no one and only allowed a couple of hits. Sox caught a break with the collision which ultimately cost the Rays the game. White Sox, i.e. Rollins, took advantage of it and Sale probably could have gone 10 or 11 and not allowed a run. Now if Danks can get 4 -5 runs we can keep the streak going.
