Ducksnort Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Maybe we go with 2 bench players and another pen arm...this is brutal for the pen. 30 pitches in the first inning. Let's go with Narvaez and...Leury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been in spring training. Not going to make it very far with absolutely no command and no out-pitch. I certainly expected struggles with the young pitching staff, but Gio has been absolutely bewildering and frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well, Giolito you're not giving me a reason to watch this team play when you're pitching. I understand the need for them to grow from here, but I'm tempted to just catch the box scores until some other guys come up. Seeing Lucas struggle this badly is very disheartening. I want to watch these guys develop, but this is just hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Where did the 93-95 mph fastball from spring training go...? Jesus. Engel needs to go. You need to be playing more towards the RCF gap on a changeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be playing more towards the RCF gap on a changeup. Expand he likes to play shallow. That seems to be his thing that he does...I've noticed however he is struggling to get to those balls hit in the gaps that he could probably reach if he was playing at normal depth.
