Richie Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Giolito has evolved into the right-handed Robbie Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think the Giolito we saw the first half of the season will be the Gio we see going forward either, for whatever reason I don't know. I think that was aberration. I think the one we see now is the one we're gonna see the rest of his time with the Sox. Not spectacular like he was earlier this season, but a good solid, smart pitcher who takes the ball and most of the time gives you a chance to win and will get you around 14 wins a year. Do you agree? Gavin Floyd was the comp throughout last season...solid 2/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at a Dead concert in '91. One of several Dead concerts Bill was at that year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Usually during a pitching change, the analytic teams would have the iPad out to look at the stats, numbers, etc. Didn't see it from the Sox there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. When you see stuff like that, it's very disconcerting for many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to clean house on the entire coaching staff. Every other team is evolving, getting younger, and using analytics. Meanwhile, the Sox are staying in the Stone Age of baseball strategy with Ricky, Coop, and the gang. Ricky and Coop go by their gut, not statistics.

vilehoopster Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Also, what you said about Steele Walker in RF and then moving Eloy to DH does make sense. If Eloy isn't showing marked improvement on defense by mid-next year, you're right. Have to really start looking at moving him to DH as Abreu (really actually does) starts to decline. But in the mean time, give him a chance to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Trout, lol. How can the greatest player in baseball and eventually in baseball history be so unknown and unmarketable? Edited August 17, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but 14 for his last 20 against the Sox ,the stat I saw last night, is just a little bit better than his average killing. Edit_ I posted this before I even saw he just homered.

SoxAce Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Trout was looking for something offspeed that entire sequence. Giolito could've threw a fastball down the middle to strike him out. Trout just proved he is a smarter than McCann there. Edited August 17, 2019 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
