Puffs of Smoke
Speaking of smoke... Chris Sale was phenomenal against the Tribe tonight. Topping out at a brisk 98MPH and using his trademark deceptive delivery, the 6'5", 180lb sidearmer made Shin-Soo Choo and Shelley Duncan look out of their league. Pronk showed good patience before delivering a solid single up the middle, but Jason Nix went down looking and then promptly got ejected. Sale looks like the real deal. The Sox have yet to decide whether he will stick in the bullpen or return to a starting role, but he looks to have the chops either way. As Manning said, imagine if the 21 year old adds velocity as he fills out his lanky frame. Jeez.
