Chicago White Sox Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Literally turn on the game and the first pitch Giolito gives up a three run bomb. Fuck this, I’m taking a breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) And there's the Giolito I know. Even though he's throwing strikes for the most part, the fastball isn't good. He get's so few swinging strikes regardless of what he throws. Edited June 16, 2018 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey is decent and Dunning has potential, but still wait and see there. The Cubs trade still looks very good. Nats trade right now is a push, Boston trade favors Boston. At least right now.

It's the Sale trade that is scary right now, as that was the one you needed to alter your franchise. Way too early to make a final decision on it, but it has been a dismal season for Moncada and Kopech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio is a hot mess, Reynaldo is decent but nothing earth shattering. Dunning could factor into this of course, but he's still a couple of levels out, though early returns on him look good. To me, it's even and could go either way. Eaton's injury problems have helped this trade "lookgood", but when he has played he's a terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to deal with losing, even if you know bad times are coming. I'm not expecting them to be great right now but I want to see significant progress towards the end of the year.

Lineout to right, got to a full count Definitely better, but that 3-1 92 mph fastball down the plate is a pitch he should be crushing and not weakly fouling off. When he starts doing that, he'll start racking up extra base hits again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all clicking yet, but I think matter of when not if. And Dunning is rapidly shooting up the prospect charts. I think he has one of the higher floors of all minor league pitching prospects and will very likely be an effective major league starter. Getting two long-term rotation pieces out of that trade would be a huge win. The idea of getting 3/5 of a rotation out of one trade while fun was always a total pipedream.
