TA cannot hit breaking balls with any consistency, even shit ones.

That last AB will be on loop in his wing of the HOF.

Another loop will be dedicated to him fixing Lucas.

More seriously, Kevan Smith should be the starter, just for the help he brings framing and otherwise on defense.

How sad that the second half to that is true.

 

Electronic strike zones can't come soon enough,this is sad.

dude that was a nasty sinking two seamer.  wtf did dylan covey infect gio with the live arm?

really fucking helps the pitcher that the catcher is giving a good target and not shifting around like they've got fire ants in their cup.

Kevan Smith might be the most valuable player on the team. He even makes Lucas throw faster

Yup,Having an MLB caliber catcher is so damn refreshing and it is speaking for itself.

Gio lost a hook there and let's see how he rebounds after this walk.  We know he's always in his head, here's an opportunity to show growth and poise.  

Just got home to see a strikeout and then Lucas missing badly.

He has't looked terrible tonight.

And he just got a swinging strike on a 94 MPH fastball

Back to back 94 with command!

Seeing 94 is nice. It looks like he isn't throwing across his body as much

He's pitching right to the mitt tonight.  Awesome, had that 94mph heater right were he wanted it top of the zone.  NICE!

Certainly appears to be "staying tall" and not falling off the mound so far.

I gotta follow that guy.

A Lucas Giolito 94 MPH fastball is a really good pitch. 

Good lord that breaking ball is just sick.

Yoan just can't hit anything offspeed right now.  He looks god awful and continues to make no changes.

Pretty much unhittable

Eh, he's made some bad and mediocre pitches, he hasn't made them to Yoan.  The one he did the ump called a strike outside the zone.

That said, kid is scuffling, obviously.

He's getting down in the count early and just giving up on at bats. He needs to at least sit for a few games, there's just nothing there.
