lol not gonna lie that's so bad it's funny.

WTF did these guys even work on in spring?  I'm so done with this coaching staff at the MLB level.

Gio and Fulmer are 2 of the latest examples of never believe what you see in September.

Benetti factoring in Home parks.......

In the same thread where people are talking about Dylan Covey as an anchor in the rotation going forward, they are pronouncing Giolito and Fulmer dead.  Don't get so married to the present.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we've ever seen Giolito flashing a 97mph fastball.

Exactly, next year is still primarily a developmental year.  I’m all for signing a guy like Machado, but you definitely don’t sign free agents to block key prospects who need opportunities.

Ha Omar, my god

Omar sucks so bad.

And we didn't see Covey throwing 96 last year either.

this guy is supposed to be the main starter the rest of the year? jesus christ our staff is screwed.

Can't catch the ball and when he does he can't frame.

Yeah, Narvaez is really bad.  I'm actually hoping they give Smith more of the playing time going forward.

Passed ball and then dropped another pitch

He pitched really well last night, but one start, his 13th as a White Sox, most in team history to get to win #1, shouldn't get people too excited. Next start he might be back to the Dylan Covey we all know and hope to avoid when we have tickets to the game.

Considering none of the options can hit (unless Zavala), just play the best defender

These guys look like they had quite a going away party for Beef last night.

100% agree, but the stuff looked legit last night.  More reason for optimism with him rather than the Santiago's & Voldstad's of the world.

He needs to be sent down. No different than Fulmer. His fastball absolutely sucks 

I'd say he is even worse.  At least with Fulmer, you can see his FB move like crazy which would at least give some explanation of his lack of command.  With Giolito, it is straight, lacks velocity and most importantly command.

I can stomach blowouts but this was hard to watch and had to turn it off. 

I know that Castillo is still under contract but the Sox should consider taking another stab at the catcher position this winter. 

What an awesome instinctive play from Yolmer.  Gets the short hop, gets the lead runner.
