He's getting ahead of batters this game and just unable to put them away. His stuff is just bad now.

The velocity issues started last year. I think his mechanics are all messed up right now.

His velocity sucks so much this year that I totally forgot he used to throw up to 97 and consistently sat mid 90s.

Giolito just sucks right now.

So I booked a vacation in early October last year and the Sox got eliminated the day I went on vacation. I also booked a vacation this year on October 23rd. By the looks of the playoff schedule, that's the day of game 4 of the ALCS. So I guess this means the Sox are getting swept in the ALCS.

Just have Gio pitch 2 against the Tigers.

The Guardians are gonna be throwing Morris, a guy with a FIP near 8, and Pilkington this series. There's a double header in there too that they'll probably split unless they really f*** it up. The Twins may have gotten swept in Minnesota, but all those games were pretty close and could have gone either way. You never know what might happen in a 5 game series. I think they take at least 2 of 5. Hopefully they can take 3 or 4.

We need to sweep Detroit and have the Twins win at least 3. That'll put us at exactly 1 game back going into the series in Chicago.

Just keep Tony away from this team.

No Graveman tomorrow, hopefully we won't need it.

Liam is throwing now

That was the perfect back foot slider.

Wow I'm not sure I've seen Kwan swing and miss on a pitch that off the plate.

Graveman always has to make it interesting in the 9th.

We'd be looking at bases loaded and nobody out if it wasn't for Pollock's catch.

Especially since it looks like Graveman's real hittable so far.

Pollock just saved this from getting interesting.

This is a Jimmy Lambert or Jose Ruiz inning.

Graveman gets the 9th here. Not sure I agree with a 6 run lead. Hopefully it's quick and you can use him tomorrow.

If it becomes a save situation you use Hendriks. But they'd need 3 runs in the 9th before that. Just don't throw Tanner Banks again and it'll probably be fine.

Eloy and Pollock the only guys hitless today.

Ok calm down Tony.

Had Benson missed that, Yoan would have had a shot at the cycle.

What are you doing Yaz?

This goes back all the way to last season. The Sox hit 4 homers against the Yankees in the FoD game with Cairo as manager. Tony wasn't there against the Rangers and the Sox scored 8 runs. Before that game they had scored 5 runs in 3 games. Tony's mere presence sucks the life out of the offense.
