fathom Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Sox keep using the same game plan with Giolito. Fastball and change up until the 3rd time thru the order. If we can see it, then advanced scouts can also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd vs. Contreras. And Jose was pretty much the best pitcher in baseball taking the mound that night, had a long streak of not losing a game that extended into May, 2006, when he got hurt coming off the mound to cover 1st and hurt his Achilles' tendon in Cincinnati.

MAN! I was thinking the exact same thing. Even before the game. but the different is we weren’t sitting on our hands waiting. We were still playing. So, really, no excuse.

There has to be some correlation between being home and how bad they have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Frequently start the game looking completely unprepared. Laughably bad 1st innings. Playing like complete dog shit at home. What is the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Nice play by Robert. Usually you see guys get stuck in the ground and then they lose their focus on the ball, very smooth there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 If you really think about it Giolito got killed by the BABIP gods in the 1st inning. Neither the Fowler hit or the hit by their catcher were hit that hard. If the Fowler one is just a pop up like it's supposed to be he gets out of it with one run.

I just don't understand how a MLB player holds the ball in that situation. A little leaguer would have chucked it in faster, regardless of the ruling in real time by the umps, which Eloy could not have known. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
