Sambuca Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Cease (Not Giolito) has a lot to figure out, fix, and then retain throughout the season. Let’s hope he can be a solid 3/4/5 with flashes of dominance. Edited February 3, 2021 by Sambuca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is old AF True, but he was born in 1956, Don is a a mere baby compared to Reinsdorf (1936), or his hires last year of Stone (1947) and La Russa (1944). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the handing out a card with some sayings on it comment has merit. He wasn't overhyped for a long time, but time took its toll on him. Thanks for a job well done, but now it's Katz time. I'm as positive about the change as an old pessimist Sox Fan can be right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn't need to be an ace, but a plus back end starter would go a long way. I know it's not the same, but if there are any golfers here, you can truly relate to this. You can know exactly what you are doing wrong, but by yourself it is so hard to correct. Having drills, and someone watching to ensure you are doing those correctly and translating it to a swing - is a true game changer. Just going by 'feel' can often lead to bad corrections and overcorrections, sometimes making things worse. You have to get to a place to stop thinking. That's hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
