And he only really seems to have issues in the first two innings. It's mostly mental. Once he gets his mechanics comfortable he cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where even when he "fixes" it, it will just be a countdown until he undoes it with tinkering. I think it's obvious Sox are going to have to spend money on an better than average starting pitcher this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was better than walking in a couple of runs. At least they were near the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll need that many. We'll see by how many pitches they let him throw this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to go to the Bevington rule. Walk 3 guys are you're out of the game, even if no one is warming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure his really ticked at himself and that makes it that much worse. What's the line from the replacements, "it's like being stuck in quicksand, the harder you work the deeper you sink."

Gonna be painful watching him get majority of starts rest of the year. I'm not sure what he did this offseason, but he looks to have forgotten how to play baseball.

I think they are going to have to spend pretty big on two starters if they are serious about competing in 2020. Most of the Sox young arms have been over-hyped big time it appears.

They don't do well if it's too cold or too hot. They only play well in comfortable weather. Giollito can't feel the CB in the cold and the FB is too slippery when he sweats.
