In this story:

Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale was on the mound Thursday in Detroit and the left-hander had some good stuff going against the Tigers. 

Sale, who has dealt with injuries the past few years, struck out all three batters in the first inning and had seven strikeouts through five innings. He threw a bunch of pitches that had just a ridiculous amount of movement on them, which left many Tigers hitters looking silly. 

Sale threw one of those pitches to Jonathan Schoop, who was able to lay off it. The umpire called it a ball, which didn’t make Sale happy. The pitcher immediately asked the umpire a question, which included a frustrated F-bomb. 

Check this out but I must warn you—there is a bad word in it.

Long live all the hot mics! 

But yeah, that pitch looked like it might have crossed right over the center of the plate.
