joejoedairy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My first ever gamethread. Giolito (1-3 7.71) vs Martinez (2-1 1.43) Lineup Moncada 2B Sanchez 3B Abreu 1B Delmonico LF Garcia CF Narvaez C Palka RF Anderson SS Giolito P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cardinals crew was really talking up Giolito last night. I think they will be a bit surprised to see how diminished his stuff is right now. Prove my prediction wrong please. Man it's a really fucking nice day here, one of those perfect PNW mornings with the smell of the ocean in the air and the bright mid spring sun burning off the marine layer before it can form. I really want to just smoke a joint and watch this game on the 50" at my office. Instead I'll have to work and watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aryzner Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Wish I could watch. This season interests me greatly even if only that every Moncada AB has become must-watch TV. (And I'm going to miss it today!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My prediction is that Giolito gets a hit and he turns his season around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 With Martinez on the mound, and after Abreu popped out I would have liked to seen Nicky work the count a bit and try and send Moncada to 3b. I realize it's Yadi behind the plate, but I'd take my shot that way. Just don't think there will be many opportunities like we got in the first against Martinez. Would like to be aggressive.

When they are competing for something, sure, but this year there's no reason to risk injury having him steal very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 These guys aren't made of glass.... why send Anderson ever then? And we should have Giolito just work on his pitches this season, don't worry about winning. Let's just treat it as spring training............. Come on, he fouled it off his toe, Hermy came out, he stayed in... he can run. By the theory of this board he should just go get treatment right now and sit out the game. Let's not risk him RUNNING.

That's penny smart and pound foolish thinking. Nobody is saying "don't try". What we are saying is there's no reason to treat this like game 7 of the world series. It's May, he's 22 and has battled some minor lower body injuries. The club is not competing this year. Don't push him too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
