That's a fairly routine catch for a ML outfielder and Eloy didn't even come close. Lucas got screwed that inning by the umpire and Eloy. If you don’t like the defense strike someone out then. He should’ve called it but the guy hit it 370 feet the opposite way so he wasn’t exactly fooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 this is just not a good pitcher. Keeps getting ahead and then missing too much. Really wish they’d ditch the slider for the curve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Detroit has given Lucas trouble cause they straight up sit on his change up and just flick it into the OF in 2 strikes counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I was looking at what the biggest difference between the last 3 years and this year for Giolito is. It's his fastball. He had a lot more carry on it the last 3 years vs this year. It makes everything else easier for hitters to read and react to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be fastball/slider this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It forced the Tigers to make a play, and it worked for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have high velo like Lucas, late movement is the only way you can strike guys out on the pitch consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
