Stop making so many excuses. He’s mediocre, just like some of the guys who have shut down this offense of late. They’re just too easy to pitch against.
Given the state of this rotation, we need to win more than half of Giolito’s starts when it’s all said and done. As you imply, they can’t let this game carry over to the Tigers game. They need to win 2 of 3.
The funny thing is, the worst move Ricky did/didn’t do was having Engel come in for Mazara in the 10th, but he will get no criticism for it due to what happened.
