June 6, 20178 yr Strikes out the side in the 6th and his fastball was around 88 on the gun. But that curve ball was just untouchable today. He threw a couple decent change ups that inning too.
June 6, 20178 yr I think Hansen, Gio and Kopech have combined for approximately 18000000 strike outs the last week.
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 01:41 AM) Thanks fathom I appreciate that. Callis is good at what he does. How much is he being paid to be Kendall's agent? He loves the guy
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 09:07 PM) Wish Giolito didn't give up 11 hits tonight
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 10:07 PM) I think Hansen, Gio and Kopech have combined for approximately 18000000 strike outs the last week. Lopez and Fulmer need to step up their game to bring it to an even 20,000,000
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) Ok, how many people eat crow if Giolito gets back to form? Would anyone?

June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Some guys on the board have said the Charlotte gun is always slow, so that's probably closer to 91-92. He was 92-94 earlier in the game, looks like he may have lost a little on the fastball but I don't remember seeing a single decent swing at any of his curve balls. Most hitters looked completely over matched with feeble attempts.
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 09:26 PM) Some nice arms going for Sox tomorrow. Who's this Rodon guy going for W-S? Will be nice to see Collins catch him.
June 6, 20178 yr A much needed big night from Giolito, especially after the big league pitchers got absolutely trashed last week.
June 6, 20178 yr This is quite the slump for Moncada. Hope he gets it going soon in order to earn a promotion
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 04:35 AM) Lol Kendall doesn't need the hype his agent is the biggest in sports. Boras, I assume?
June 6, 20178 yr hell of a start by Giolito, I stand firmly on the take a step back from the ledge camp. Tall pitchers let alone ones that are being completely rebuilt often take time and Floyd and Halladay are recent examples of this. Giolito's last 5 starts 28IP 2.57 ERA 1.14 WHIP 8.36 K/9 Guerrero has been quietly turning it around once he got out of April. A future staff of Giolito Rodon Kopech Guerrero Hansen with Burdi, Fulmer & Lopez shutting it down out of the pen is something to dream on.

June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 11:46 PM) You're forgetting Dunning this system needs more left handed pitching. Outside of Guerrero; Purke, Clark and Flores are the only of note to me.

June 6, 20178 yr Just looking at last year's numbers with Washington (for Giolito): His fastball (overall) average was 93.4 (most of his FB's were two seamers rather than four) 93.3 average for two-seamer, 94.8 for four-seamer 85 MPH slider 80 MPH curveball (13.4 difference off FB) 83.5 MPH change-up If we throw out the 96-98 MPH "max velocity" hype and concentrate on achieving a consistent 93-95 (location/movement), that's a realistic number/expectation.
