Oh man, Sale better be on his game cause that lineup doesn't look good.

Oh fuck. Thank God for that DP. Come on Sale...
Could be two runs if escobar was still in the leadoff.
>>68291039
could be 3 runs if escobar was batting 8th or 9th where he should be
Come on offense, help Sale out like in April
>>68291099
I agree. Number two spot was the worst of the options Yost had imo.
LETS GO OFFENSE

I hate Chris Sale and whoever convinced him this "new approach" was a good idea
Sale needs to ditch the old approach and get a pilates membership.

It took 2 months for Avila to finally get his first and he gets his second on the same night
>>68291795
>that sinking feeling that robin might turn to the bullpen
At least Sale struck out 7 in his last 3 innings. Maybe that means he's throwing out the stupid pitch-to-contact plan.
>>68291831
Honestly pitching to contact against the fucking royals is stupid
TIMA!!!
Sale or bullpen better not fucking blow this
best hitter on the team senpaitachi
also showed great range on that play earlier but took a step too long to get rid of it, still probably would've been safe though
>>68291875
>tima
'no'
sounds like a grill
>>68291875
Pitching to contact period is stupid, unless you don't have the stuff to miss bats. In which case you better have pinpoint control.
TIMMAH
>>68291945
Should be TimA but i guess for readability sakes, TIMMAY
Anderson looks a prototypical #2 hitter. He just waits for the fastball and swings, advanced scouting is gonna have them pumping breaking pitches to him nonstop. If he can lay off and take walks (for the first time in professional career) he's gonna be a star.
>>68291958
Heeey I like that one. Timmah it is.
>>68291951
or unless you're Buerhle
>>68291988
>(for the first time in professional career)
so basically he's not going to be a star
>>68291988
Well obviously ultra sss but his first AB double was made possible by laying off a close breaking ball on 0-2
BIG
TIME
TIMMY
JIM
>>68291988
Yeah the walks issue might become a thing later on.
One of his quotes is "Hitters are in there to hit"
Hopefully being in the majors with veteran presences all around him will help him with that.
Eaton has really taken a dump lately.
>>68292037
Baseball is such a weird game. Plenty of guys turn into completely different players when they hit the majors. Teams are going to force Anderson to not swing, its a test he's gotta pass. Maybe he'll excel at it.
>Sale still out
Fuck off
>>68292238
>sale at 100+ still out
#firerobin
>>68292076
His last AB too. I dont think he's gonna swing at breaking balls at all for the first week here. He can supposedly hit pretty much any fastball.
Sale is incapable of clean inning tonight jesus.
FUCK
ROBIN FETCH HIM ALREADY
>>68292238
I'M NEVER GOING AWAY
I can't believe this shit

The sooner we deal Sale for Swihart, Moncada, Benintendi and some spare parts the better. Do it tomorrow, eventually the Red Sox are gonna figure out that Sale isn't an ace.
ROBIN FUCKING PLEASE
How is it that some random poster on some anime imageboard
>>68292238
can manage better than Robin?
>blaming robing for this one
if the bullpen had come in and done this shit you faggots would be complaing that sale should've been in since he can go 110+ easy and that we all saw what happened to the bullpen in the last series against KC
is it drip drip time?
thank you escy
Is there any doubt that they lose this game?
>>68292461
No, I'd be complaining that the bullpen is shit. Sale has been struggling this whole game, and he was over 100. No one in their right mind would send him back out.
Ventura will NEVER EVER be fired.
FUCK YOU ROBIN YOU FUCKING FUCK
>>68292461
Are you fucking serious right now?
digits and hosmer donger?
>>68292461
You're a fucking idiot. We'd blame the bullpen. Sale clearly didn't have it today and putting him in after 100 is fucking retarded.
FUCK YOU ROBIN
FUCK YOU
GET SHOT
GET OFF MY FUCKING TEAM
GOD DAMN IT
FUCKING GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
FUCK
Here we go again. Time to use the whole bullpen in one inning
I am serious. he's our ace, we should be able to rely on him to get another inning since we know the bullpen is crap
sale was no different today than any other day this season, the babip gods just weren't with him and neither was the wind
I want to launch Robin into deep space.
>>68292640
Are you fucking retarded?
4 fucking years of enduring robin
He should have been gone a year ago and yet he's still here and now he's about to fuck up what should have been a good game
If we lose, it is ALL ROBIN'S FUCKING FAULT
FUCK YOU ROBIN
>>68292640
Dude he's a headcase. He always shrinks when the pressure is on. The weird conspiracy theories and "anger pitches"...I am just done with it. Quintana is kind of the same way but at least he keeps his mouth shut.
Maybe the Sox are thinking about it. You know Kenny is still pissed about Sale's nonsense during the Drake thing.
>>68292640
Sale was way off today the fuck are you talking about?
He had no business going back into the 7th here.
Fuck you Robin.
>>68292640
Stop being fucking retarded. If you think 3 home runs, 8 hits, a walk, and 100 pitches through 6 are just "lel luck of the draw" you are an actual idiot. May as well just have people lob pitches since it's all reliant on luck right?
if we don't win this game it will be a massive gut punch
>lose 7 straight
>score 5+ on chris sale
>still losing
please complete the drippening boys
>>68292727
Are you also fucking retarded?
Can we bring ozzie back already? Not for any longer than the rest of the year but please, reinsdorf, you old fuck. You wanna see anything other than mediocrity, fire this dumbfuck already.
OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
FUCK THIS FUCKING BULLPEN TOO
BUT FUCK ROBIN
Putnam is the one Sox reliever I dont want to see sent to the glue factory quite yet, so naturally he's gonna give up 4 runs in this inning.
>>68292682
>>68292727
that's not even true at all
you just think that because the breakdowns are by far more memorable than the majority of his outings where he's great
>>68292752
they fucking are though
>>68292751
he hung like two pitches, that's it
>>68292753
No, you already got your comeback win last week.
Morales? Fuck rally over free out
Why the fuck can't this ever just fucking lock it down?
What the fuck is wrong with this fucking bullpen?
>>68292766
Sale isn't a winner. He'll be a """"""great"""""" pitcher on bad teams for eternity, and those who rely on him will get burned.
His value is second only to Trout right now in a trade, gotta pull the trigger on that trade.
>>68292851
>bullpen
Uh this is on Sale. Our ace gave up 3 HR today.
>>68292829
So what does a pitcher have control over?
>>68292853
So you are retarded
>>68292897
He may have been responsible for those baserunners but now the bullpen can't get anyone out so yeah it's on them
One more please Putnam please
fuck this fat faggot
>>68292897
And also it's on Robin.
Bad enough putting him for the 7th but then leaving him in after a hit?
INEXCUSABLE
FIRE HIM
FIRE HIM MIDGAME
FUCK
Thank you for the free strike ump
>that
>a swing
kill yourself ump
>>68292923
Sale is worth more in a trade than he is pitching games. Its almost undeniable.
NICE JOB PUTNAM
How many runs do we need to fucking score for Robin and the Pen to not blow it?
he gone, thanks for the pity umps
>>68292910
over a single start, unless he's really fucking on like max scherzer during a no hitter, not all that much. babip is a fickle thing in a single start
just see arrieta last week, got 12 K's or something in 5 innings but got pulled because 9 of 10 balls in play happened to find a hole
the home runs were barely over the wall and wind aided, hr/fb is a pretty fickle thing also
Looks like the first base ump got his paycheck today.
>>68293067
>sale has almost 1/3 of the sox wins
Oh I get it now. You're team isn't getting Sale, get over it
wew
>>68293080
>>68293049
He felt sorry for the whos.
What's with the meme I keep seeing that all the Sox fans left after we shit the bed this month?
It's pretty much all the same people from last season minus whiplash...?
>>68293076
THREE HOME RUNS
He did not have fucking shit today. Should have never went into the 7th.
>>68293144
>minus whiplash
Good fucking riddance
>>68293076
So what makes the difference between Sale/Quintana and Latos/Danks? Were those DFAs a mistake? Were they just unlucky?
>>68293144
Fuck off. Don't you have cardinals game or an gun convention to be at
>>68293175
I liked whiplash, he was a piece of shit like me.
>>68293076
and obviously the better you are at getting K's the more control you generally have
some pitchers are able to have success by inducing certain contact , but Sale is definitely not one of those few pitchers, fuck the new approach
>>68293201
not a single start, obviously
>>68293144
Its not as busy as it used to be...but yea I dont know Sox fans have always been all over /sp/
Abreu is showing signs of life a little bit. Hopefully he can carry this over a little, 3 hard hit balls today.
Josavior!
Please get him in.
HES OUT CHALLENGE THAT SHIT
Oh fuck that was dumb
>>68293248
So when do you pull a pitcher? You ignore every peripheral in the game and let him go to X pitch count?
Well at least I cant blame Robin for Abreu running there...can I?
Fucking hell goddamn it WHY
WHAT THE FUCK
A LEADOFF FUCKING DOUBLE FUCK
What the fuck man.
Somebody lock Robertson in the bathroom. And fill the bathroom with mustard gas. And put Robin in there too.
This fucking team
That could have been a run
fucking hell
Glad Abreu tried to get the 3rd there..............
>>68293303
when he's shit obviously
sale was fine today, good control, good velocity, after that pitch to hosmer didn't hang anything, slider was breaking great actually
>>68293438
Abreu would not have scored on that.
Frazier would not have been pitched the same with a runner on.
Frazier's mental state would not have been the same with a runner on.
>should be 8-5
>jb suck
Morneau heal faster
>>68293438
Probably not, but 1st and 3rd 1 out is a nice scoring opportunity
>Shuck
Eh, maybe not
>>68293463
>Sale was fine today
>3 home runs
Fucking shit here comes the bullpen again with only a 2 run lead
FUCK
FUCK FUCK FUCK UFKF FUKF FUCKN FUFKC FUUUUUUUCK THIS TEAM
>>68293205
been to 3 cards games this year, and here are my guns since you asked
when i get vacation form work im going home to visit my parents and plan on going to about 5-6 sox games since they only live an hour from chicago while i moved 5 hours away for work
>>68293249
we easily have a top 5 fan presence on /sp/ even counting last year's abomination of a season
>>68293519
There's no fans at the park because we're all too busy hikiNEETing it up at home during games
And here's Jones now
Come on Jones please
>>68293513
the two to hosmer were his fault, they were bad pitches, and still they were wind and temperature aided home runs barely over the wall. any other day this season so far they probably wouldn't have been gone.
anyway, sale was as fine as he's ever been this season, which isn't really that great, he's just not getting the luck anymore the last few starts
The nice thing about Frazier-Anderson is going to be them walling off that side of the IF. Anderson's range is gonna open Frazier up a lot to play some aggressive defense (like he just did).
>>68293585
Sounds about right.
>>68293712
>Anderson is a good fielder
who came up with this meme
LAWRIE
Damn everyone getting in on it tonight.
BLAW
>>68293672
There may be an arguable case to let him start the 7th but the moment he ran into trouble, i.e. that leadoff single, he should have been yanked
not LEFT IN FOR A DOUBLE AND THEN A SINGLE
ITS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS WHAT WAS ROBIN THINKING
>>68293751
Anderson has ridiculous range and his glove has vastly improved. His throws are still a little wild at times, but the arm strength is there.
He is not the same player he was a year ago, a lot of time has been spent improving his defense.
>>68293751
He has huge range and athleticism. Gonna need to smooth out the mechanics more up here but it should be good and WAY WAY WAY better than "hall of fame" Rollins
and he should be WAY better than Salad
>>68293814
true, no one was even warming right? that's terrible
I'm not pro-robin or anything, he's definitely shit
>up to nurse
>sweatingman.jpg
>>68293899
Anderson can catch the ball which makes him quite a bit better than yips Saladino.
>>68293927
No one warming that's why he was forced to leave Sale in to give up a third hit while the guys tried to rush to get warm
This is utterly ridiculous.
Come on we need some insurance. I definitely do not trust drob.
Come on Avi, get on for Anderson. Or just get on so we can still have a chance for insurance
Anderson goes yard and fans go nuts

Did you see that smile on the first base ump? He was like "I got you guys." Robin really did pay him off.
