QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 02:47 AM) remember when people kept mentioning how a good 1B was going to save all those errors TA had in the minors? Turns out they were half right. His throwing yips are really troubling. Jose is doing God's work over there however. Oh Keon Barnum

Best sequence of the year for Giolito

Anderson can't throw this year. Abreu has saved him probably 5 errors

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 02:28 AM) At this point, it seems like the Sox still can't identify talent. Those who didn't trust this front office to pull it off seem correct. I Had been a huge fan of both Moncada and Giolito, but it seems as if the Nationals and Sawx are laughing to the bank. They both look like AAAA fodder currently. I think they are good scouting minor league talent but have been amazingly bad trading/signing big league players. The draft scouting is also very questionable

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 01:05 AM) There was a lot of doom and gloom about his velocity in Charlotte early last season, but no we don't have hard measurements. I don't know how you could look at that and not be really concerned about it. It's not 100% evidence of something that can't be flukey, but it's certainly much more probable than not that his "true" velocity irrespective of time of season/weather is on a downward trend. I think his mechanics just suck right now. Not worried about an injury, but also never really thought he'd be more than a bottom of the rotation starter

Why does Stone keep talking like Giolito had a good curve last year? He legit had two swing and misses on it all year. He looks like total garbage

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 01:02 AM) If Rick Hahn wants to assemble one of the worst defensive teams in the league he's certainly done it. Anderson has some of the worst footwork I've seen from a big league SS

The defense on this team is amazingly bad.

Terrible throw, terrible player

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 12:58 AM) Wonderful. Doesn't show his velocity in Charlotte

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 12:57 AM) Laces count. That call is bulls***. Actually thought they changed rule and doesn't count now

Yoan is fouling off too many fastballs over the plate instead of squaring up.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 01:48 AM) Hard to understand Giolito's dropping velocity. Have to wonder if this ends with a surgery for him. Was his velocity better to start last year? Don't think so

Engel should never be playing in a game against Berrios

Nice defensive positioning. He's fooling no one

He has nothing on these pitches. Plus Curve once again only a myth

I might just watch the WNBA draft instead

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 12:32 AM) jesus, that was a chris sale slider, wow. Sox couldn't hit average offspeed stuff up to this point of the season. They might have no prayer tonight against this ace stuff

Beautiful play!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 01:22 AM) 90-91 for Gio, so much for the improved velocity. sigh. So far, looks like he did first two games. Velocity down and can't command fastball at all. Seems like another mechanical issue

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 12:12 AM) that said, holy f*** he's striking out a lot. He needs a breather. Seems he's down 0-2 every at bat

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 06:03 AM) The Andre The Giant doc on HBO was fantastic Hogan was riveting

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:42 PM) I'm only taking McClanahan if he has better grades, all things equal I'm not taking a pitcher with TJ. Couldn't agree more. For me, it's Madrigal or Bohm right now. For some reason, Logan Gilbert just seems like type of guy the Sox would like. Swaggery's average is still a bit concerning

QUOTE (GermanSoxFan @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:13 PM) Big win for the confidence of this club. Yes!

Throw strikes!
