The Chicago White Sox versus the Baltimore Orioles, U.S. Cellular Field. August 18, 2014, 7:10pm CST. The White Sox will call Chris Sale (LHP), 10-2 with a 2.01 ERA, as the visiting Orioles will hand the ball to Bud Norris (RHP), 10-7 with a 3.75 ERA Chris is a Ferrari when striding to the plate. When he plants? He hangs pitches. Planting his foot, in his case the right one, comes short of full extension, and leaves that nasty slider up in the zone and hittable. He will feature the aforementioned slider at 80 MPH (70), a 4 seam fastball (93 MPH) (70), a 2 seam fastball (94 MPH) (80), and a changeup (85 MPH) (70). His 2 seam fastball is video game stuff. Wipe out slider to lefties, and backdoor, or in and low to a right handed hitter. Bud is a pretty basic pitcher with great command. He will feature a 4 seam fastball (93 MPH) (40), a 2 seam fastball (93 MPH) (50), a seldom thrown cutter (92 MPH) (50), a slider (86 MPH) (50), and a changeup (86 MPH) (50). He has turned himself into a ground ball pitcher. He has got it as a number 2 starter, solid work on the mound. He has a tendency to drop his 4 seam fastball into the strike zone. He pitches to contact, and is performing slightly below the expectations that the Orioles have set for him. It should rain tonight, and though there was a plan to go to the game, it looks like an early trip to the zoo and a little shopping. Thats why... Lets Go White Sox!
