Not a surprise he is a .750 OPS corner outfielder in the majors. He was playing in AA as a 19 year old. That is remarkable and the fact that he was an above average hitter is pretty incredible. btw I am not a fan of Nomar Mazara the major leaguer, but as a prospect he was really exciting.

The fact that Lopez has been good is much more beneficial. This. The stuff is still there for Giolito. Honestly, a drop off in the dog days of summer is to be expected. He said back in the spring that his new delivery uses his legs more than his old one so if his legs are tired that explains the velocity fluctuations and command issues. Next year should be better. As long as he keeps his ERA at 3.5 or below I'm not worried. If anyone told you that Giolito would have a 3.54 ERA with 140 K in 120 innings on 8/1 in February we would all have taken it in a fucking heartbeat. He's going through a few rough outings in a relentless stretch of offenses. He's faced 1 cupcake lineup in the past 7 weeks. That will wear on anyone. The schedule is doing him no favors.

Drwhoo1 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Just caught up with this thread. Is it true that some of you guys said you wished Hahn was more like Minnesota’s Gm. Really? Do you guys just post stuff randomly? This Minnesota team that has been above .500 only twice this decade with at least 5 of the years at 70 or less wins. The 2 above never getting above 85. Wow! How can anyone take you guys seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) There is a very real chance that only two players in today’s lineup will be on the roster next year.
