Thank you for finding the words that I couldn’t. This is the overall reason I’m fine with this start.

Yeah it's Houston on the road for 4 so a split is a win. 

Really the only things to be concerned about over the 1st 3 games are Robert/Vaughn's bat and the pen. 

 

Everything else has been pretty encouraging.

I’m excited to see how the ball is jumping off his bat. Now if they want to cut bait after this year when his salary skyrockets, that’s a whole different argument that we have a long time to discuss.

No matter how good he is this year there aren't a lot of teams that will want to take on $29M for 1 year or $49M for 2. 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

lol this team just so good at beating itself

I have exactly zero faith that Clevinger pitches well tomorrow. He will get lit up like a xmas tree.

or struggles with the slider in general.. #justwhitesoxthings

Entire team can't hit sliders. Idk why any pitcher would throw anything else. 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

Gio hasn't been terrible given that it's Houston. 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

Moncada has a hole low and in as a lefty. He has never been able to cover that. 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

dumb challenge

 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

Pena is really good

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

At least Robert is back as a defender.

Who fault was it?  I’m watching on my phone with shitty San Diego 5G, so can’t tell if a bad throw or a bad attempted catch?

Sheets makes that play

Vaughn is a total disaster of a top 3 pick

FIFY

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

I didn't realize it at the time until I saw the replay, but it's called having a 5-11 1B.

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

WTF Moncada

Minus the power 

Robert was supposed to have LTP but I haven't seen it 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

Robert is Pedro Cerrano but replace curveball with slider. 

 

 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

SEBY!!!!

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

Great play but did Robert just hurt himself? 

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

god dammit

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

C'mon Yoan.......

[GT: 4/1 | Sox (1-1) @ Astros (1-1) | Giolito vs. Urquidy]

This lineup can just get slidered to death. 

idk why they ever throw anything else.
