chitownsportsfan Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Tom Glavine was the circle change FFS Jason. I'll stop, Jason is fine, we should be happy to have him, yada yada yada. Edited April 17, 2019 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I feel like we start every game with two or three strikeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 He missed that by three feet. WTF is he even swinging at? Ball was 6 inches wide. Frustrating to see Jose continue to scuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) The Royals are light years ahead of the Sox in advance scouting. You can see it by how their pitchers attack the Sox hitters. Case in point was Moncada in which they only threw him breaking balls after they got ahead with strike one.

Seems a totally good plan. To Parkman’s point, it just doesn’t seem like there is a plan and it’s been this way for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Duda killed that. Was funny watching Palka go back thinking he had a chance on it, with it being like 20 rows back. Edited April 17, 2019 by Scoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about "same old," he has historically had a pretty damn good change, and decent curve when hes on. Just had a nice strikeout on the slider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Useful to keep in mind as Jorge Lopez mows us down: 1st time through the order this year, batters have a .280 OPS. Second time through, 1.000 OPS. Third time, 1.100 OPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I think Giolito has a higher ceiling. He at the very least has a slider and changeup that are very good, and occasionally he'll flash that ++ curve. Gio's slider is more consistent than his curve. Lopez has a big fastball but his secondary stuff isn't that great. His change is ok to flashing + but his breaking balls are lacking. Lopez should pick either the curve or slider and try to develop feel for one of them. If I were him I'd choose the curveball because it is a different velocity than his changeup, while the slider is similar in velocity.
