vs. WHITE SOX, 8/18

[SteveA]

Adam runs it down easily thanks to Bud Norris' lightning quick recognition to point out that it was, in fact, a fly ball.

How about Bud through two innings. Looks like he's got some movement on his pitches, he's working fast, getting them to put the ball in play.

He seems to be up to the challenge of going up against an ace.

I never intentionally write for the so called "reverse jinx", but if it works out that way, all the better.I honestly don't think we have much of a chance off Sale, but, as they say. "thats why they play the game".

Keep the faith, Roy! Remember this:

I looked it up today.

This doesn't seem surprising to me. We hit home runs in about 68% of our games, and about 80% of our wins have come in games in which we've hit a home run. So, we're somewhat more likely to win a game in which we hit a home run than we are to win a game generally. That seems sort of like common sense. Any idea how our numbers compare to the league?

That's about as bad an AB as I've ever seen from Nick.

[tntoriole]

Jesus Christ. nick, can you look any more ridiculous?

None. Except I'll bet we're pretty far up there. Leading the Majors in homers.

Lefties OPS .300 against Sale. Nick nearly killed him in the first inning. Sale makes tens of millions of dollars because he makes batters look ridiculous, its not exclusive to Nick.

Every single time I look at the television (and not just tonight), someone is down in the count.

Hackers!

Chris Sale walks nobody. Shouldn't be surprising that's happening tonight.

[Malike]

Sale is terrified to throw his fastball.

He doesn't get tens of millions yet, but he will, and your point is still valid.

32 million is tens of millions.

[scOtt]

All that then 96.

Making him work love it.

Jones is starting to get dinged up. Would be nice if he could DH 1 game while they're in Chicago
