Chicago White Sox Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Huge pitching advantage for us today. Let's beat this knuckleballing f*** and win the series! Go Sox!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Trickey Dickey with an ERA over 6. Not so tricky this year. Let's hope this bats come alive early and shut the door before the 4th inning. Looking for a blowout today with Sale on the mound. Let's go White Sox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Ugh we usually suck against knuckleballers to my recollection. However this team is special and has a really good feel about them. I'd like to know when the last time we scored 5 runs with 2 outs?

It is impossible to overrated his contribution to the Sox success this year. Robin should mail him a fruit basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Konerko is our best knuckleball hitter, expect a great game from him. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Sale is great and everything, but I hope he doesn't get frustrated by a Donaldson/Encarnacion/Bautista/Tulowitzki hit, start overthrowing, and allow a HR to one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a tendency to start chucking wildly and getting into a lot of trouble. Edited April 26, 2016 by pettie4sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I just hope Sale's ERA doesn't skyrocket after this game. It'll inevitably go up at least a little, but I hope he can minimize the damage against a potent offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his career 2.88 ERA, 10.2 strikeouts per 9. 7.4 hits per 9, and the Blue Jays collective .196/.284/.320 split suggest this. They really need to trade him before it's too late.

bmags Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I never feel good vs. knuckle ballers. I feel like there has only been one game that I remember where we tagged Wakefield and stole like 12 bags against him. Other than that, seems like it's always "Sox can't handle the change of pace!"

But by all means, make up something he tends to do so you can be pessimistic about any game he pitches. Facts suck.
