“It felt like I was out on an island, really”, Sale said of his suspension. “I think everybody in the world kind of knows what happened, and we’re on the North Side, so we’re going to hear some insane stuff here”.
Sale was suspended for five days last Saturday after tearing up the 1976 throwback uniforms the team was scheduled to wear in that night’s game against the Detroit Tigers.
The White Sox starting pitcher threw six innings on his return and allowed two runs and six hits in a bad day at the office. There have been several reports coming out this week that the Yankees want to get rid of Ivan Nova and if the White Six want to get rid of Chris Sale, I don’t see why it is not a deal.
“I thought he pitched a good game, ” Ventura said.
Several teammates hugged a smiling Sale when he arrived in the clubhouse before the game.
Sale even found his way at the plate, recording his second career hit on this weird play. The White Sox had ripped off four consecutive victories before their offense ground to a halt, managing only one run and five hits in each of their last two setbacks. The southpaw struck out two in the outing.
Tyler Saladino doubled off former closer Hector Rondon in the eighth. Chapman reached 103 miles per hour on the radar gun Wednesday facing the White Sox in the ninth inning. Chapman and Cubs interpreter/coach Henry Blanco came under criticism on Monday after the pitcher flubbed his introductory press conference with Chicago reporters.
White Sox: Manager Robin Ventura said he hopes LHP Carlos Rodon (wrist) will be able to start Sunday at Minnesota.
“He’s a passionate guy about a lot of different things”, Cooper said.
Jason Heyward, who signed a $184 million contract with the Cubs in the offseason, didn’t start as Maddon went with a righty-heavy lineup vs. Sale. “He doesn’t know us, and he really doesn’t know the language, so my best advice is to continue to build a relationship”. “Hopefully we can find a way to help somebody, help a group of people with this whole fiasco, hoopla, whatever you want to call it. Hopefully we get there”.
