It's normally a wipeout pitch for Gio. He just chucked a meatball up there, belt high, out over the plate.

HOFHurt35 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I don't get an 0-2 change up call when the guy took two fastball strikes without swinging the bat. Just terrible pitch selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engel will be back soon enough. I too was bitching about Vaughn not playing everyday a week or so ago, but man, he is overmatched right now. I am OK with Leury playing some LF every few days. Yea your stance on Vaughn kind of shocked me. Normally we think a lot alike. I was really surprised so many wanted him to play every day and thought he was going to get an extension before the season started. I was pummeled on here for going the opposite way on both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Grandal could learn a thing or two from how Verdugo beat that shift. I think he needs to just also the bat out there and get a cheap single, get him out of a funk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just chucked a meatball up there belt high out over the plate. Belt high changeups is what Giollito gets outs on. However, the guy had not taken the bat off his shoulders on two fastballs down the middle. Go with a high fastball there and make him try to catch up to it.
