Timmy U Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Maybe the best 2 game stretch of the year for pure enjoyment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Glad people have moved on from the "take gio out while he's doing good so his feelings dont get hurt" logic. Great game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 82 strikes, 25 balls. Incredible. Not only was he throwing strikes but he was hitting spots and often at the fringes of the plate rather than center cut. He struggled big time with command last year but if he’s dialed in his command for good he’s a legit TOR starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Sox can catch the Twins but I do think they can finish 2nd with around 81 wins. 2 starters and we can catch them. Lots of season left and all of our games with the twins are still ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I can't believe we split a series in Houston. More importantly, get Gio and Lopez some help in the rotation (via FA or call ups, NOT TRADE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox1917 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Giolito looks like an ace. Where are all the posters ready to give up on him 2 months ago? Just need Reylo to develop some consistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player you will get opinions and advice from tons of people. Giolito got advice from a guy he trusted but the execution, observation and analysis had to come at the professional level. Guys will make tons of changes and tweaks in the off season - try new things. Cooper deserves as much credit as blame he was receiving for the lack of development. Ditching the sinker and dramatically changing his repertoire vs both lefties and righties was probably analytically driven from within the organization. So much goes into a players development from both inside and outside of organizations, it's why all the blame people pass onto coaches is funny and given all the praise is also funny. Coop deserves as much credit as you can give a pitching coach for a turn around like this. Even if his high school coach and him messed around with shortening his back arm swing and compacting his delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggled big time with command last year but if he’s dialed in his command for good he’s a legit TOR starter. Is his style of pitching changed? Somebody was mentioning his high school coach? I don't remember last year's Gio. But I will say his delivery is very good for such a tall guy. I feel like it's perfect pitching form for somebody so tall. If his high school coach ordered this ... I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Hahn would have signed Gio Gonzalez. He signed for a small amount of money. Add Gonzalez and Cease to the starting rotation and things could have gotten interesting.

Get Lopez some help? Not sure I'd lump him in with Giolito yet. He can do a lot for the team by being much better and consistent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
