Friend of Nordhagen 51 Posted June 18 Wait, you're telling me that Giolito threw Gurriel a slider that . . . sucked? When you're talking about $100 million contracts for starting pitchers, I tend to like the guys who can throw more than 2 pitches. This has been a 3-year problem for Giolito. He can't control any kind of effectively moving breaking ball. That just isn't gonna cut it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was also the only starter who actually gave them something close to an acceptable start in the playoffs too. If I remember correctly he didn't even get through 5 innings and gave up 4 runs. That's not close to acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chw42 4,988 Posted June 18 I hate that we basically aren't competitive with the Astros in Houston. There was 1 competitive game in Houston last year and that was cause Rodon had a no hitter through 6 innings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
