Kyyle23 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The greatest thing about Sale this season is he looks like he is locked in, and there is very little emotion on the mound, just business. You used to see him get really upset after mistakes, but now he is just ready to throw the next pitch. Just an awesome thing to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 When Sale gave up that homer, my thought was "meh, not even worried. He's got this." It wasn't even a bad pitch, it was barely in the zone, low and away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Sale had an interesting quote after the game: "I'm not throwing as many anger pitches or hate pitches. And rely on my defense. That's the key to all of this. That's the master plan." http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/i...-and-chris-sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of getting upset and trying to over-compensate for a bad pitch he just shakes it off and throws the next pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I miss 13+ K sexy numbers Sale, but I'm definitely cool with this version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm still shocked he's managing to pitch so well without Drake in the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He's incredible. Can't believe a pitcher can just decide to be something else and have possibly more success when they are already great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 A playoff Sale who can strike out 15 or throw a CG 100 pitch effort is exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I love how he's mixing speeds. Even though he's got the heat, he doesn't rely on it. I swear one of his curves/changes last night clocked at 77. Can't say for sure, but I thought I saw that. He's "pitching" and not "throwing." With his arm, no wonder he's 9-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It was a pleasure to be in attendance for win #9. Even after the homer, you knew he was going to finish it off. Next 6 starts vs Royals, Tigers, and Indians. Go get 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 My favorite part of watching Sale this year is how easy he makes it look. With the exception of his start at Baltimore, he's had very few high stress innings/pitches and has been on cruise control in just about every start. He's no longer emotional and dominates in each and every start. We're watching a future Hall of Famer in his prime. Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he never threw his arm/elbow out by anger pitches. He seems like he could do it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
