It’s CRIMINAL how little run support Sale gets. He has to be near perfect every fricking start…..

We really aren’t going to see many pitching duels better than this when they both are on… and they are. Everyone should enjoy it for what it is aside from our respective fandoms. It’s a masterclass.

Usually, I agree with this, but I can't bitch about it tonight. Yamamoto is nasty and he is on his A game, too. His cutter breaks as hard as some guys' sliders.

Sale is really feeling it tonight.

Well, can’t get too upset with Riley there. Terrible AB by Yaz though. Can’t keep fouling off 4 seamers from him when you’re lucky enough to get them

Keke is charmed - great snag - thankfully he doesn't lead off T6

sMets on the board now vs MIL - the comeback has started down 5-1 -

Well, if it was just tonight….. I would agree with you lol

At some point it’s just a real pattern by a shitty offense. Last night’s eruption has been the exception and not the rule

69 pitches thru 6 IP with 9 K is crazy efficient

He is absolutely DEALING tonight (knocking on wood). This lineup hasn’t deserved him this season, it’s ridiculous

Yamamoto has been pretty good, but he has left QUITE a few pitches in the middle of the zone and the lineup hasn’t capitalized
