chitownsportsfan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just not sure how he can make it work with a 90 mph fastball, and that's on a hot gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 LOL, even a routine grounder is an adventure. Gio still doesn't miss many bats, but they also really didn't get much great wood on him, other than the Garver shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I want to see Gio get his curve ball over. That change up he threw was way too damn high as well. Need more than 1 effective pitch. And hell, even that fastball isn't overpowering, though it certainly does have good movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sox need to pile on the runs. Another comeback Twins win would be just disgusting and heartbreaking . Sucks losing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) I'm not giving up on Giolito quite yet, Just went to gameday and most of his fastballs are 92-93. What is weird is that it seems that when he first gets on the mound for an inning he's down at 90-91. His two fastest were 94.1 and 93.9 today, which is encouraging. It seems like he's getting comfortable with his delivery and the velocity is starting to return. Edited June 6, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his fastball is close to being workable, but the off speed stuff is simply non existent right now, in that if he does get it into the strike zone (rarely) it's usually in a terrible location.

That is what is so frustrating about him, is that his offspeed stuff is so wicked but he can't get any of it over the plate.

Oh no doubt, the curve ball he has is legit, but damn if he knows where it's going. At least right now. I don't believe he has forgotten how to pitch.
