If the OF defense improves a bit and he recovers some of his power he can be an effective corner reserve. I would keep Nick D around. Nicky I would cut yesterday.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just now, fathom said: This is ridiculous. He's missing the zone by more than a foot. He desperately needs to go down to Charlotte and work on his mechanics. 100% agree. He clearly needs to regain some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he looks worse now than he did earlier in the year when he was a joke on the mound. He's missing the plate by as much as you will ever see.

If not, I think Russell just made a dumb play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Giolito threw some four seamers at 89 that inning. Had to go check Statcast to see if maybe they were cutters but if they were they weren't distinguishable from his four-seamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's mechanics, then send him down and let him work on it with a little less pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to understand how the mechanics could be playing such a big role, but it's not impossible. Lucas is clearly a guy who spends most of his downtime thinking about what he needs to do and it wouldn't shock me if he's analyzed and tweaked himself out of the big leagues by now.
