I mean that curve just isn't that good.  It's flat vertically.  Not many swinging strikes generated off it, if any, so far tonight.

Could have been a whole lot worse. 

The offense needs to get back to work. 

Giolito loves to give runs back..........he has been very disappointing

Yep, wonder what the spin rate is on it

3 innings, a 2.0 WHIP, 0 Ks....

Trayce getting on base is always a surprise

Yea walking the tightrope. Let’s see how long a leash he has in the 4th. The DP saved him last inning.

Turn him loose.

Nice to see Yoan's OBP creeping up again.

Gio may be due for some bull pen time. He no longer deserves to be indulged. Hard to send him down and use his last option.

I should have asked earlier. 

Yoan Moncada is really fast.

I sure do heart Yolmer

Fun to watch Yoan run 

Got the 2 runs back

Infield in down 4 runs in the 4th inning as the home side, will never, ever make sense to me.

That would be the worst possible scenario.  Keep him starting,  but send him down if you need to.  Keep getting him his regular reps.

I'm shocked Davidson fouled that off.  Improved hitter.

I'm surprised people are so upset about this. Great tank result. Moncada was 2-5 with a HR, Lopez went 7 shutout innings, and a player who likely won't be here in 2020 gave up the game and moved the Sox closer to #1 overall in 2019.

I'm surprised after yet another yawn of a draft people continue to clamor for draft picks over W's. Give me W's baby.

Now that's what a nasty breaking ball looks like.

I'm glad you guys all love Davidson now. I worshiped him last year as well.

Good lord.  Fastball.  Fastball.  Fastball.  Fastball.  Fastball.  90-92, no command.

How did we blow this years draft?

He's back to blaming the mound
