Atta boy inducing that ground ball gio

That could have been much worse.

Good mound visit result

Got out of it relatively unscathed. Lets settle in, we know we're going to score some runs for Gio.

BIG DP

That could have been much worse.

 

Very. Let's hope he settles down because I know we will score more then 1 run

Giolito threw zero fastballs below 90mph per Statcast

Phew that inning could’ve gotten really bad fast. Looked a little out of sync with mechanics that inning.

Stop bunting

The WGN strike zone graphic is ludicrously wrong.

They must have known it, too, because it's gone now.

Literally just gave them a free out. Might as well have stayed in the dugout

Dreadful inning

 

The glory days of the top of the first inning have faded....gotta grind it out and baseball now. Need Gio to have a good bottom of 2nd.

I'm a fan of the top of our lineup. Lets see a settled down Lucas this inning.

Have to watch the game on the KC regional broadcast and their announcers suck

They beyond Suck. I hate these guys.

 

Good response by Gio...3 up, 3 down.

That inning was more what I wanted.

Gio needed that quick inning

Sorry if mentioned before:

 

Boooooo to the WGN graphics team!

 

The scoreboards are confusing as hell

I don't know if I can take an entire season of Benetti schtick. He's good when he talks baseball and I'd like him to talk more baseball.

Wow great shot there. Looked like a gapper off bat, the sliced way right.

He's god awful when not talking about the game. He tries to turn every game into the Benetti Comedy Special

He's awesome doing basketball, for example, because the action moves a lot faster. I want to like him and I do when he's not trying to make inside jokes the entire time. The end of this top of the third has been so much better. I know he knows baseball and is into advanced stats and analytics. Wouldn't mind hearing more.

Nice walk. Now Matt needs to prove that he is the real MVP.
