maxjusttyped Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Wouldn't have guessed I'd be more excited for Matt Cooper starts than Giolito when the season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Engel with sixth homer, up to 760 ops. Giolito walked Michael Bourn to start game but got a 5-4-3 dp that Delmonico almost threw away. Line drive smoked but directly at 2b Ladendorf, who was well-positioned. This NOR line-up is filled with former big leaguers, fwiw. Don't love that Moncada's thumb injury is top hand from his dominant LH side. Btw, Dunning's brother was activated by the Knights. Asche activated as well but not in the lineup. Edited May 18, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Giolito is a *much* better prospect but I'm very interested to see how Cooper gets on. A 1.39 FIP in AA is just ridiculous.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Two hopper to SS, routine play. Chance Sisco, #1 O's prospect and a catcher hammers a resounding double into the gap and through the wind into deep RCF. Giolito was 6-5 with a 2.97 era in 3 minor league stops last year. Strikeout swinging after going 3-1 in count, bat goes flying into the seats, two outs. Groundball to ss Everth Cabrera to get out of the inning, 23 pitches, ERA at 6.19. 13 more scoreless innings he'll be at 4.50, haha. Fulmer, btw, now at 3.86. Danish 3.32 and Lopez 3.14. Another double, wind-aided over Jacob May, halfway up the LF wall by Logan Schafer to lead off bottom of the third. Groundball to SS, runner can't advance to third. Walked Michael Bourn Identity/Ultimatum/Supremacy for the second time. Giavotella hits into second dp in two ab's. 6.03 era, 3/2/0/2/1, just 36 pitches.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Giolito currently at 39 k's in 38.3 IP, 21 walks. 40 hits. 1.59 whip. May, Rayburn and Blair hitting well. Pedro Alvarez kills a homer to the opposite field. Got out in a hurry. Oops. 2-1 Knights. Line drive that Liriano snagged before it almost carried over his head...also to oppo field by Andino. Sisco with opposite field blast into LCF for second double of the night. All Xb hits so far, four. Strike three swinging, second Washington k but only at 92 mph. Strike 3 called on inside corner looking. Edited May 18, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) 92 was the only velocity the radio guy gave...time to go to work. http://www.milb.com/common/tunein_popup.js...&abbrev=CHA Anyone else can listen if they so desire.

BlackSox13 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Gonna be a rough day for a pitcher when he's throwing less than 50% strikes. It's a long season so there's plenty of time for Giolito to work things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing he needs is to face impatient hitters that will chase his pitches out of the zone and let him get away with awful command Edited May 19, 2017 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) No, sending to Giolito won't help much because he already has a relationship with McCatty from Washington...unless that breaks down for some reason.

Bruised up pretty bad, but no DL, he's day to day we are told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
