caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Wow. 51 pitches to get through that inning. 29 minutes from top to bottom of the inning. PS. I don't think we can catch the Orioles for 1st pick. Imagine after they trade Machado's offense away...and Bundy can't even record an out against KC? Giolito has been 91-93, touching 94. Most consistently at 92-93. Edited May 9, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was meant for humor. I understand the reasoning for having him in the lineup for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 That was a badly-needed strikeout on a FB...terrible situational hitting by Moran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) 94.4 on that force out is one of the best fastballs he has thrown so far this season... Well, this is pretty much textbook on how NOT to shut down the opposition the inning after your offense gives you a significant cushion!

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well, this has pretty much been a disaster. Sigh. Hope we can get two solid starters out of Lopez and Dunning and call it a win, but it's not the slam dunk this trade looked on the day it was made...Washington should know their talent better than anyone.

Heads22 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 And then he breaks off a really dirty slider. He's walking fewer guys than before but its a crap shoot on every pitch if its going to look good or look like crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Get the bullpen up. Good thing we're not paying on a "per call" basis for using that phone line or Cooper would be bankrupting the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replacement Level Poster Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I didn’t think Giolito was going to be a 2011 Verlander, but I did think we were past this type of inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) He got hit hard twice in that inning but most of those were seeing eye grounders. Not much you can do about that. Edited May 9, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
