Chicago White Sox Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Just now, Buehrle>Wood said: Sox desperately need 2 new catchers I get the BB rate is nice, but Narvaez literally brings nothing else to the table. I’d rather see guys run wild on Smith than tolerate another passed ball or weak groundout from Omar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The pitch selection today is something that makes me question if Cooper can adjust his philosophy to the new loft era. Have to throw high fastballs in today's era to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 What the hell happened to Giolito's curveball? I got into it with a poster here saying it was not better than Floyd's (so far I was right like I said) but it's not even close to comparable.. it's a show me rather than a weapon now.

It was awful last year. Couldn't throw it for strikes. The Giolito curve is now synonymous with D. Day's slider and Bummer's 97 mph fastball.

Fangraphs gave it a FV of 70 in last year’s prospect rankings. Honestly in his spring start against the Cubs it looked the part, but that pitch is long since dead.

southsider2k5 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Farmer is 100% right that Clevenger balks on every single pitch with runners on. He never completely pauses before he comes home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the tight one he threw in the dirt to get outs last year is gone, minus the 12-6 one he once had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
