Some cheap hits but everything is up in the zone. That's by design. He's throwing high fastballs on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 About time for good luck. Giolito isn't pitching bad, but he's just a comfortable at bat is all hitters have to look for is fastball/change combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this for a while, but they're going to have to invest in rotation pieces this offseason. You can't pencil in both Giolito and Lopez with confidence.

He's actually missing bats and getting nickeled and dimed with singles. Umps are doing him no favors too. I thought it was a clear swing the pitch before Martin homered off him. They didn't even appeal to the 1B umpire. That new straight change Giolito's throwing is nasty. The Jays are swinging and missing on it like crazy, yet they haven't even tried it once with two strikes.

Jack Parkman Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I don't understand the game calling with Giolito on the mound. They go to the fastball way too often with 2 strikes and he gets it fouled off. Whatever the opposing hitters are having trouble picking up that day, they should go to with 2 strikes. It is baffling to me that I can see this and it is game calling 101, but for some reason the pros continue to waste pitches by continuing to throw pitches that the hitters are picking up well with two strikes. EDIT: there they go again. Dumb dumb dumb pitch selection. I swear to god this entire organization is baseball stupid during the games. Why go to the fastball there?
