His curveball had a neg 8.5 value last year according to fangraphs. That's just about the worst value I've seen anyone have for an offspeed pitch. Instead of having a plus curve, he has a below average curve.
Just because a curve drops a lot doesn't mean it's good. We've seen enough from Giolito to know his curve isn't like Gavin Floyd's where hitters are fooled with it.
Just because someone says “JR wants to win” doesn’t mean it’s really true. Actions speak louder than words, and he sure doesn’t seem to be putting his organizations in the best chance to succeed.
and you would probably say Giolito is the most talented player on the roster still Could play this game all night. Let's just drop it and hope for the best with Lucas.
