caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 “We’ve got outstanding heart, outstanding spirit,” La Russa said. “Like today, they scored in the first and we watched Lucas battle out of that thing and they come out there and took a bunch of great at-bats.” https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-sweep-royals-on-the-road “I went five-and-dive unfortunately. So, had to tax the bullpen a little bit. They all did a great job,” said Giolito, who ended a personal three-game losing streak. “The defense behind all of us was spectacular today. Seeing that effort, the attentiveness on the defensive side. Every single guy is out there ready for me or whoever is on the bump to deliver that pitch. “And then obviously, [the offense is] just exploding right now, really taking advantage of hittable pitches and when guys are on base, we are getting them in. So, not much to complain about.” “Getting two outs on one batted ball after getting into trouble immediately, definitely needed that,” Giolito said. “It would have been nicer to strike out the side, but you can’t have it exactly how you want it every time. I don’t think anyone on our side was worried about that, knowing what our offense is capable of. “Sure enough, [the White Sox] answered back and I was able to navigate through the next four innings. That’s the word I would use, navigate.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Would be a terrible motto. Doesn’t flow. Change the game is dope, but I don’t think that sticks anymore under TLR. I’ll always be partial to Win or Die Trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I don't know how much heart and spirit they showed this series. It was kind of a butt whipping basically. Jump on em early and bring it home for the easy W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I had never heard the “five and dive” saying. That’s funny and good for Giolito for wearing it and give props to everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
