If Sale comes out for 7th I'm guessing that would mean he is not available for game 5? I have had my thoughts, but I'm not talking about game 5 yet.

CV - some bad hacks at the first two pitches. Completely let Verlander off the hook. CV has shown the discipline and bat speed this year to lay off those pictures, but I feel like he was trying to Ambush Verlander and get him out of the game. I agreed with the first one, the second swing however Its like he cornered himself

I feel like Christian gets too hyped sometimes, why was he swinging at that stuff?

Price is available game 5. Worry about today. The heart of the Astros order is up.

If Sale comes out for 7th I'm guessing that would mean he is not available for game 5? Considering he had already thrown 40 pitches, they probably would try to avoid using him in 2 days unless absolutely necessary anyway. If he can give you most of the rest of this game and make sure you actually survive to a game 5, that's probably the better route.

I think that's his natural swing, he just has so much bat speed that it appears that way. It's pretty much the same swing he had in the minors and has had all along. The little slump he went into is more likely fatigue, he's played a lot more games than he ever has in his life. I think he'll be fine, but he has to lay off pitches out of the zone. He seems to swing at the high ones too much. You could easily say that about Dustin Pedroia as well. I think it stands out more against a high spin pitcher because those don't sink and most batters look like they are swinging way under. I think, he'll adjust, we'll have to see over time.

I have a feeling that they'll stick with Sale.

Gotta get this last out so we can use Reed/Kimbrel for 8/9.

That last pitch was 99. I called 100 before the pitch, but it should have been higher in the zone.

Gotta give CV credit for giving Sale the willingness to really snap off and bury that slider.
EDIT. With the sublime blocking of a guy he doesn't see much in such a high-pressure situation with Runners on
