fathom Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Great to see Giolito finding his slider, which he used so effectively vs righties last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 it seems as if the scouting report said to try and be aggressive against Martinez, because this game is buehrle pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should probably give up on the idea that he's a 94-95 mph guy. He's a 90-92 mph guy with (in theory) really good off speed stuff with a tough plane for hitters to get a look at with his height. That hopefully will make him an effective 3-4 starter for the Sox.

Jose Abreu Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Giolito looks very sharp today. Even the hit and HBP were pretty cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Giolito looks as good as I've seen him. Still concerned about the velocity, but you don't need so much velocity if you can paint the corners like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are saying is there's no reason to treat this like game 7 of the world series. It's May, he's 22 and has battled some minor lower body injuries. The club is not competing this year. Don't push him too hard. Nobody is pushing him too hard, this is way over reactionary. I trust Herms assessment far more than this thread acting like we need to pull him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need to pull him and there's no need to be going balls to the wall with a sore ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Stealing a base is not balls to the walls.... Abreu should be at 1b with that theory, don't try pushing him to get a double because he might pull something. Its ridiculous to play the game like that.

southsider2k5 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't know how much of the game that Narvaez is calling, but they are looking good together today. Giolito is mixing stuff and location (up/down and inside/outside) really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Way too early but if he's still mowing these guys down into the 7th, the scorer ought to look into temporarily changing Molina's hit to just an E5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
