Goodness. You freaking walk a guy so you can pitch to Castellanos. Very clear he has no idea where his pitches are going. 

Well, I don't think he did that on purpose. lol. If that's any defense. 

Regarding Giolito, I think you give him the rest of the season with Coop and see if he can make any strides.  At this point in the season I hate wasting his last option.  If he continues to struggle, give him as much time as needed in AAA next year to figure his shit out.  We can start off 2019 with a rotation of Rodon, Lopez, Covey, Stephens, & filler until Kopech is ready.

Can't pitch from the stretch

LMAO. Of course. When he got down 3-0, I was sure he'd never throw 3 strikes in a row. Inning coulda been worse...he hit a guy who was swinging so he got lucky there. then he grooves absolute meat to Castellanos, one of the better hitters in the game.

Yeah, I agree with this. Just ride it out and see if anything gives. We're 20 games under .500 and I don't really give a damn. 

I mean, today sucked on the surface. However, he only walked two - the two walks were just in front of Castellanos who burned him. One guy did this on two pitches. This wasn't his typical marathon start, where he's walking a batter an inning and falling behind in every count. 

Don't get me wrong - still discouraging. So long as he's not blowing up in the 1st or 2nd inning of every start like Fulmer, though. I think you ride out the storm. 

As bad as the results have been, Gio has had some flashes of positivity in this start IMO. It's nice to see he's gotten the Tigers to swing through and miss a few bats. Still a massive work in progress though.

Back to back hits?!

Hey Timmy, get us back in the game. Eh?

Last time this happened was the 8th last night... and that didn't exactly go well. lol

Nice Timmy. That traveled well. It looked like a poorly struck ball off of the bat.

Chucky getting in on the party

It's a hit parade!

You cant stop Charlie Tilson, you can only hope to contain him. 

Back to back to back to back hits?!

Was somewhat surprised to see that goes with a .657 OPS lol

Ok who is this player bennetti refers too in the 90s?

How about Moncada gets the big knock? I'd love that.

 

Ha, okay Charlie

This was almost poetic, seeing as he should have been picked off right after this post.

Lol... bunting again. 

He's given up four consecutive hits. Let's let him off of the hook!

Good AB for Trayce
