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.

We’re not trying to compete next year though.  Give five young guys a chance and hope you hit on three of them.

This is the next point I was going to make. 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.

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?

another garbage pitch on an 0-2 count, as well as throwing 91-92 mph in the 5th inning
