Ultimately the pitcher decides what to throw and how to execute that pitch, you are trying to defend a claim that is impossible to defend.

Throwing the same pitch 4 times in a row in the same location isn't horrible? What planet are you from???

This start and Giolito's starts Thursday and vs. The Cubs in Wrigley are exhibit A for it. He walked right into the opposition's hands. 

The amount of 2 strike hits Sox pitchers are giving up with him behind the plate is astounding. On 4-5 of the hits Lopez gave up tonight, he was ahead in the count. 

Lol how is that his fault?

As horrible as the Madrigal pick or even worse?

 

The fucking pitcher decides what to throw. He has the ball in his hand. 

There's a huge misunderstanding about my opinion on Madrigal and Vaughn. I don't think they were bad picks per se, but I do think they were more risky than people realize. I don't like players with those types of profiles in the top 5. It's just a philosophy opinion. They both have a ton of positives about their games, but I wouldn't have taken a player like them until the 6-10 range. They definitely have talent, but not a ton of positional versatility. 

Madrigal has answered all of my questions and then some. He's great.  A lot of my criticisms of him were because I forgot he had a wrist injury. That excuses him. We'll wait and see with Vaughn.

Someday we’ll have a real manager. I can’t wait. 

For whatever reason, I like our odds better of landing Gerrit Cole than actually hiring a quality, experienced manager, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of the day when this nonsense finally ends.
