This.....all series long....you would think the Royals were world beaters if you didn’t know any better

Taking fastballs, chasing off speed pitches.  It's like they have no idea what the game plan against them is going to be

How long will it take for Palka to get a hit?

Palka shouldn't be playing in the field, we all know that.  I hate seeing him being the whipping boy already though, as it's not his fault the GM is an idiot.  When is Yonder going to get a hit?

Quality of at bats against starting pitching has been predictably terrible.  Time to give Steverson a lifetime contract.

Why stop there?  Why not get a hold of our nation's scientific leadership and do what's needed to clone him so future generations of Sox fans can experience the wonderful hitting that we're all seeing right now?

Giolito is getting a lot of swings and misses early

Take out the four pitch walk to start the game, and he actually looks pretty solid. 

Giolito is sorta looking legit so far. 

Lking this so far Lucas.

A touch to many pitches but this is encouraging. 

Though with Gio even when he’s going well I’m worried about him losing the release for multiple batters

So far, not missing too much over the plate.  Everything's to the outer quadrants

Good gas by Lucas 95

Time to get on the Giolito hype train folks

At least until the 4th inning when he walks 3.

As if every message board in existence is not

So is McCann going to be the starter!? 

Giolito throwing 94-95.  Can’t complain.  Offense blows as usual however.

I try to counterbalance the rampant negativity in the game threads when I can

McCann weakly lines an absolute hanger to 3B.  So weak.

The amount of love the organization seems to have for him is nuts

I hope the organization isn’t in love with bad backup catcher on a one year deal.

Yolmer with the K.  I can’t believe people actually like him as a player.
