caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Magnum PI Mendick (catch the "double" detective reference in the second part of last name, to match the moustache) Not to mention the other obvious connection, with MR. BASEBALL. Edited August 5, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox80 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If anything giolito is going to give the bullpen a much needed rest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I don't know if it's a good idea to lock up Gio just yet. But I think they should consider it. Hes' a good one. He's going to be at the front of this pitching group for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So it's concerning that Giolito has become a 2 pitch pitcher, right? He's thrown 3 breaking balls today, 30 change ups and 35 fastballs. I don't see how that's sustainable. He did the same thing his first 2 starts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Avi Garcia's throw from CF was at 91.8 MPH...no official word from White Sox clubhouse on Madrigal as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be tough to draw some conclusions with regards to pitchers this year, though, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes' a good one. He's going to be at the front of this pitching group for years. Too risky with a previous TJ surgery and our revulsion for long-term pitching contracts. 3-4 years seems to be their comfort zone, 5 is REALLY pushing it.

wegner Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Danny got a text from Saladino that he better shave that stache unless he wants to all of a sudden find himself playing in Korea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is par for the course for him. He'd throw 10 breaking balls max per start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just now, fathom said: That was an awful 3-1 swing by Mendick White Sox just re-signed Alcides Escobar. (Hope that's not the headline tonight, seems he left the organization in less than ideal circumstances anyway.) Will be pretty shocked if they don't at least try to sign a veteran for the pennant race. It's not a development year. They'll go with Leury when Anderson is back, but they also need Leury as a back-up outfielder (not quite as much now with Mazara back, pushing Engel back into his nature role.)

BFirebird Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 For a guy that averages less than 4 pitches an AB he has a lot of walks. He seems to see the ball well for a guy that has never seen any of these pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
