  1. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 09:36 PM) Isn’t he DHing? We’d lose the DH spot if we moved him to the field. Damn that's right. I think you're right then...Salad.
  2. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 09:34 PM) Who would play 1B if we wanted to pinch run for Abreu? Saladino? Davidson?
  3. Engel had a great cut at the 2-1 pitch....trash in the dirt finishes him off.
  4. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 09:11 PM) I actually really like the decision to put Giolito out there one more inning. Could of backfired but our number one goal this season is to develop the kids and Lucas needs to learn how to pitch without his best stuff. Ding! This is it. What we saw there was Gio building for the future. It sucks to be losing to these turkeys, but Ian Kennedy is not a bum and our young pitcher I think took another step toward being a PRO
  5. He looked really good in the 6th inning. Just seemed to go right after them. Love it. I think his night is done though. All in all it was not a terrible performance from Gio all things considered.
  6. QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 09:06 PM) I agree, he's missed his spots a bunch. If Sanchez didn't save his ass on the liner it would look much worse. Like I said I think he can't get loose and it is affecting his throwing motion, leading to both the missed spots and decreased FB velo. Oh I agree. The conditions are not that good and his erratic secondary offerings are likely at least caused by his ability to get the proper feel on the ball given the weather. As someone said chalk this start up to that reason. He'll learn from it and figure out how to adjust in the future. The fact he's doing "this well" with such limiting offerings is a good sign...once he gets his stuff dialed in he'll be a damn good pitcher.
  7. QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:58 PM) I agree. Always been a Gio homer, but I don't think he can get loose tonight. Everything I heard was that his velo was up in spring, and the results showed that. I wasn't expecting him to be throwing this slow in his first start. He has been at 92 at times. My issue isn't the velocity, but the location of his secondary pitches. I don't think he has spotted 1 all night in the right spot. He has hit a batter, tossed a wild pitch, another 3 or 4 have gone to the backstop, has walks, has been behind all night, threw 1 pitch BEHIND a hitter and somehow the kid has found a way to battle through. That all said, against someone like Cleveland this game would have been over by now.
  8. Well, somehow he managed to get out of this. They may even give him another inning since the lower half of order is coming up.
  9. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:37 PM) Hudler kills me He's horrible. I don't mind him rooting for KC, but they embellish everything KC does.
  10. This game could be 8-1 Royals. Gio better get it together and fast.
  11. Pitch was off the plate....better give Gio the same pitch blue
  12. QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 07:57 PM) Have to watch the game on the KC regional broadcast and their announcers suck They beyond Suck. I hate these guys.
  13. The glory days of the top of the first inning have faded....gotta grind it out and baseball now. Need Gio to have a good bottom of 2nd.
  14. Shew....could been 5-5 game right now...I guess both teams are happy it's 2-1
  15. Inning turning into a disaster. Base loaded 0 outs and Rick Vaughn (before the glasses) is on the mound.
  16. Coulda been a big inning there. Good to get 1-0 up
  17. I know Yoan has a couple Ks, but I still love his approach...he's going to be a star. No doubts in my mind.
  18. LOL...KC throwing meat balls today...Sox good enuff to take advantage. Davidson, my sleeper for this year, looks awesome. I said 30 homers....maybe 40. Shields just has to pitch another couple innings.
  19. LOL....Anderson who looked like a minor league player on some of his swings goes yard.
  20. Rex Hudler says he is looking for Royals to be .500 or better.
