chw42 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Tnetennba said: Starting to wonder if scouting is catching up to Giolito’s FB/CH combo and how much he’s gonna have to adjust/switch it up with how much he sees the same teams. I think it's simply a matter of his stuff not being there. The scouting report didn't catch up to him for 2 years. Why would they start catching up all of a sudden now unless he's tipping his pitches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be it tipping pitches or knowing you have a 50/50 chance to get your pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyRedGloveSWAG Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Jose Abreu is looking pretty terrible getting 90 mph fastballs in the zone blown by him. M-V-P M-V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 All this talk of trading Yermin this offseason... If Abreu keeps playing horribly, they need to keep Yermin on the team. Jose literally can't catch up to 91 mph heat in the stroke zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 When he was struggling recently Giolito was still getting strikeouts and swinging strikes but he’s not missing any bats right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Between this clown Giolito throwing 92-93, and the joke catching him, it is amazing the Sox aren't down at least 5. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 That's 9 hard-hit balls (above 95 MPH) for KC today. They have an xBA of .329. Giolito has walked the tightest of all tight ropes to only allow 1 run today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Not a terrible outing thus far from our number 5 starter with only two pitches that the league figured out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
