Who's ready for the offense that hit 7 homeruns yesterday to barely score 2 runs today

It's Sale day, I don't give a shit about the offense. I just want to see him not suck.

Pretty much this.

But knowing the White Sox, something's gonna go wrong again.

Well, it's hot and it's in The Cell, so most likely it's going to be dinger city.

FUCK YEAH EATON

well that was nice

Not at the game today so maybe now they'll have a chance again

Lets go Sale

Twins are perfectoing the yankees

>through 5
they'll lose

>14 (four(FOUR)teen) pitches through 2

This game is going to last like 1 hour

Melky you fucking dope

Dammit Melky.

>Melky

>Donaldson
What an absolute scum-tier play but a scum-tier player

>2 on, no out
>they blow it again
What a team they've put together

Shit..

hey look a double play the sox wouldn't have turned

>go to MLB.com
>look at scoreboard
>literally says PERFECT GAME in white on red

why the fuck would you do this

is this some sort of jinxing campaign to make them rarer?

>muh superstition

there's superstition and then there's just being blatantly counter-custom

>muh superstition

it's gone btw

obviously it would be when they announce it to the fucking world in the 5th innning

>muh superstition

speaking of perfect games, sale is sort of throwing one right now since donaldson technically didn't get on base

no

webm of blonde qt platting her hair pls

It doesn't work like that.

FUCK YEAH SALADMAN

Shitty bunt, but based Salad

it was just making me wonder, is the definition of a perfect game one with 0 total bases for the opposition, or no man reaching base (27 up, 27 down)? you could argue that since donaldson got out on the same play as he got a base, it didn't break up the perfect game, even though he got a hit (a perfect game that is also not a no-hitter at the same time?)

I dunno if that's retarded or not.

>canada

debate me nigga

It's just a game with zero blemishes of any kind. A hit where the runner got caught stretching is still a blemish.

hurray, another run

Stroman's just not ready.

Didn't he graduate from THE Duke University? He should be ready for anything.

just seems kinda unfair to call it a one hitter when no one even got on base.

this is assuming sale pitches the rest of the game with no walks, errors or any other bullshit too

welp

>it's a sox catcher can't frame low pitches episode

>two of those pitches were in the zone
I fucking hate this. Is it so hard to find a catcher who knows how to frame pitches and get a hit once in a while

>and get a hit once in a while
I would take even a .100 average if it meant a better strike zone.

>creepy doll

TIMMY!

Timmy's getting hot.

wew

>TIMMMMMMMMMMMM

I hate this manlet

>le solo dinger man

>abroo was good for like a week
at least melky is good

>Frazier does nothing and a run scores again
I like this new trend.

How many wild pitch runs have we got in the past week?

at least everyone has stopped calling him the ace, that must've been hard to live with

fuck this team

What this guy said
Why did we have to play stroman today, I would have been happier with Happ

>sox turn a DP
neat

somebody stop the indians

He's got a shot at a Maddux

>people actually think the jays were going to be anything other than a .500 team

Yay right DP

Is there a stat or metric for almost/botched DPs? Is our infield defense really that bad or is it just the eye test and recency bias?

people overestimated the bullpen way too much. Starters have been hit or miss for the most part, fucking dickey is 0-5 in the dome. still trying to live and die by the longball

Infield isn't completely ass, but just bad when you need them most.

>DPR (double play runs): The number of runs above or below average a fielder is, based on the number double plays versus the number forces at second they get, as compared to an average fielder at that position, given the speed and location of the ball and the handedness of the batter.

Based fangraphs. So it's definitely worse than average. Wonder if it's mostly on Lawrie.

Had to happen eventually.

Can't ever finish a game without giving up a home run

Or two.

...

Here's the part where Robin leaves in sale for too long

holy fuck do the umps ever ride sale's dick

remove sale literally right now

This is all your fault

White sox tears taste so good

looks to me like mostly balls that should've been strikes
fucking avila

Based Sale nonethless

Let's get some insurance please

Sounds like a new diet. Trying to lose a few more pounds?

Sale has been like this for his whole career. He gives up a lot of dingers.

kek

Your team's on the dive, this is just the start

>start
About a month late there britleaf

about 6 years late actually

>the start
Where have you been the past 6 weeks.

Well I did just get mob TV recently

>nigel trying to banter
I can't tell if this or Brexit passing is more embarassing

"All in" was a valid try, but after it failed unexpectedly and so devastatingly, they should have started over, not continued to try to tape back the debris. That's why the past half decade has been like this and why this year continues. All because of KW not letting go of the 2011 failure.
