Chris Sale did not pitch up to his own lofty standards in Saturday night's Game 1 loss to Houston, but there may have been a reason.
It wasn't pretty. Here are a few random thoughts on the Red Sox 7-2 Game 1 ALCS loss to the Astros Saturday night at Fenway Park.
Saturday night was bad. But the Red Sox are OK. Allow me to explain.
With temperatures dipping into the 40s, numbing their fingertips as they tried to grip the baseball, Justin Verlander and Chris Sale both struggled to get the ball over the plate. Verlander recovered quickly. Sale never did.
Sale's final line showed that he allowed two earned runs over four innings, which in and of itself was not particularly catastrophic. But with four walks and a hit by pitch, Sale was never in control -- not of his arsenal, and not of the game.
There was one moment of levity for everyone at Fenway Park -- everyone except umpire Joe West.
