Keuchel (0-3, 3.52) vs. Giolito (0-2, 5.50)

Edited April 21, 20187 yr by Chicago White Sox

I think this one is actually winnable.

I'm expecting Abreu to keep up his hot hitting and hoping Gio can put it all together this start.

I just want to see a competitive, well played game.  That's all I fucking ask.

Looking forward to see Giolito put together 6 solid innings of no more than 3 run ball, some nice at-bats from Anderson, Davidson, and Moncada, hard contact from Avi and Abreu, a couple stolen bases, and possibly the most important thing, an error-less game (both on the defensive side of things and on the basepaths).

Hmmm...seems like they put the hitters who have more success vs lefties at the top of the lineup. Will be interesting to see what Thompson does today. If anything, it's nice to see a fresh face in the lineup.

Don't like messing with Yoan's head like this.  Just keep him leadoff it's a throwaway year.  Nice to see Thompson I guess, although Adam Engel can't hit anybody, righty or lefty.  Why not just play Delmonico in LF, he's OK against LHP.

 

I'm about done with Ricky after this year I think.

G!

Crowd seems like it will be decent tonight

Also put all of the money on Sox +1.5 tonight

Watching the Stros broadcast...I find it ironic Geoff Blum is one of the analysts.

The quarter-zip looks nice

Yay more 90 and 91 mph fastballs

More of the same from Gio to start.  Yikes.  90mph.

What an awful pitch

Too bad they gave away all XLs

Doesn't really look like a major leaguer this year. Absolutely no command and stuff sucks.

This is getting very concerning

The difference between spring and now for Gio is crazy

I'm half expecting them to announce he's having surgery soon.  He looks awful.

Not a good start but it’s the usual  Sox beginning 

90 mph fastball. He's either hurt or actually 40 years old.

That was a pretty good bit of hitting by Correa. That ball was above the letters and he still drove it to CF.

Blah.  The only games worth even bothering with are the Reylo starts.  Tough times for nightly watchers.
