FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As far as simulations go, Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale had no complaints with Wednesday's 38-pitch session from the main mound at JetBlue Park.
Facing teammates Dan Butler and Steve Selsky, the lefty displayed his filthy arsenal in preparation for his anticipated first Grapefruit League start for his new team Monday in West Palm Beach against the Astros.
"I threw two sets of right around 20, give or take maybe one or two on either side," Sale said. "I threw all my pitches. In the second inning, I was focusing on fastball and changeup because those are my feel pitches, and I try to get a little better feel for those and throw those a couple more times for repetition.
