DirtySox Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Time for your regularly scheduled Giolito optimism/hand-wringing game thread. Is the velocity up? Is the spin rate down? Is the fastball garbage? Where is the curveball? Go Sox? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 4 pitch walk for Giolito. If he gets shelled today, send him down and let Stephens start vs KC next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 19 walks, 6 strikeouts on the year for Giolito in the first inning. That might be the most pathetic stat you will ever see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 There's no reason for Giolito to be up here. His starts have to be demoralizing for the rest of the team at this point. I get that they don't want to use that last option - but either he's good enough to stick on the roster next year or nobody is going to want to claim him anyways.

Dick Allen Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Nice to get out of it. Houston pays for not sending Altuve. That is the other issue with Giolito, teams run wild against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Why are the Sox using their typical lineup against left handers today, in view of the fact that Keuchel has been better vs. rh hitters? Edited July 8, 2018 by Lillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
