I’d rather see guys run wild on Smith than tolerate another passed ball or weak groundout from Omar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The pitch selection today is something that makes me question if Cooper can adjust his philosophy to the new loft era. Have to throw high fastballs in today's era to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 What the hell happened to Giolito's curveball? I got into it with a poster here saying it was not better than Floyd's (so far I was right like I said) but it's not even close to comparable.. it's a show me rather than a weapon now.
