Rowand44 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) That was dominant and probably his most impressive outing in the org. Command and movement all over the damn place, if his velocity was what it used to be I don't even know what his ceiling would be. He located his fastball so beautifully today. If he does that then he's going to be a stud. Awesome performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 08:17 PM) Crazy thing is looks like we might not have room for Dunning in the rotation with Kopech ready and Hansen following close behind  Rodon-Giolito-Lopez-Kopech-Dunning & Hansen. Let's go with a six man rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) This game has been a freakin joy to watch. Yep, one of those games that makes you not care as much about draft position. Nice to see huge games out of Lucas and Timmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) This season has been 10x more enjoyable and exciting than 2015 and 2016. Yup. You and I have been on the same page about that all year. I legit haven't enjoyed a baseball season this much in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome performance. Yep, if the curve and change are as good as he showed today all he has to do is command a 92 MPH fastball and he'll be good. The change was just so damn good, I now love him.

mmmmmbeeer Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think it's safe to say Coop fixed him. Will be really fun to watch what Coop can do with our other studs when they come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 wasn't too hard to see this coming. Giolito turned a corner in Charlotte about two months ago, he'll probably have a few clunkers here and there but he has as much shutdown potential on a game-by-game basis as anyone. If he finds some of his lost velocity look out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More crazy to think Kopech Hansen and Dunning will all be quality major leaguers in a short period ( 2-3 years) of time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Excellent. I've been impressed with his changeup and curveball his first two starts. He left too many fastballs up in his first start which led to long fly balls. If he could command his fastball well even in the low 90s, he could be an all star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) If you treat a Sox game like watching a sitcom where witty banter is the norm then Sox games can be entertaining. If you like actual baseball talk then perhaps your viewing experience is not as enjoyable. Things like Sox math , and Sticks and Stone and now the Kamka thing is a lot of silly filler but ,hey, that's entertainment !?! Bennetti and Stone are fine and at this point better than crabby Hawk and Stoney. I like Bennetti. His dumb jokes are OK IMO. I'd give him a B. Stoney an A and Hawk, whom I love, an F now. Too crabby. Giolito and Rodon. Wow. Two aces. I like it. Anderson ... way to wake up! Nearing .250. Avi had a rough game. I worship Avi. Want him badly to hit .320 to .335. Please do it Avi.
