He doesn’t know anything these days.  Whatever sources he had have gone AWOL.  Dude was saying all offseason that Machado was as good as a Sox.

He has plenty of sources. Not his fault members of the Sox org read situation wrong. I was referring to him interviewing Giolito this week

Good news is Lester has been pretty gettable over his last few.

I have no interest in watching Lucas pitch if hes gonna look like last year

Bruh, it is only 4-1. In the second fucking inning. Yeah a grand slam sucks, but ya'll need to chill the hell out. 

Are you new here?

I don't have much use for the Cubs but if I was allowed to pick one to join the Sox it would be Contreras

I'm sure Royals fans say the same about Anderson.

Seriously. I loved that bat flip, in so much as it pissed me off and was a perfect heel move. Well, that and the fact that it was swaggy as hell. I'm here for it

It‘s the first inning, and fluctuations like that are completely normal. Armchair analysts always crack me up.

He had a bad inning. It happens.

There could be something to what soxfan49 is saying. Giolito's velocity is down tonight. No 96-97s like we had become used to. He's topping out at 95 tonight. 

I'm not trying to armchair anything. Most of his pitches end with him bending and almost making a 90 degree angle with his top half and bottom half. Some of those pitches in the 1st ended with him at a 150 degree angle. It started at the end of the Yankees outing. I have no clue if it's effecting velocity but the control seems to be off

Oh fuck this umpire giving those calls now

different strike zones 

Call my cynical, but I'm not sure Yoan is quite healthy yet

Well at least he struck out three in the first. It sucks he blew up against the Cubs and the Chicago media, but you can't be great every outing. We may luck into a rainout. 

Omg what a joke

He's not looking like last year. He still struck out the side and they weren't all over him. 

Gives the high strike to Lester, not to Giolito. Great

F you Contreras. Wanna bat flip. I hope the sox come back. You know Timmy will put on a nice show

Come on man. White Sox fans should be the last ones to complain about bat flips. Giolito needs to throw better pitches.

Go watch ball 2 to Bote. That looked completely different than his other pitches. Look at his body there at the end compared to strike 1 to Lester

I just looked at it.  He finishes his pitch.  His head is over his front side, his arm is decelerating on his gloveside.  His back leg then swings over his hip level and then he stands up.  You are looking at eyewash at the end that is not indicative of a mechanical issue.

You can't blame Gio for that inning. He was absolutely getting squeezed and McCann did him no favors. That inning was on McCann and the ump. He had to throw it down the heart of the plate to get a strike call. There are obviously 2 different zones. 

Cordell swinging at ball 4.

I’m not buying it.  Also, the guy flip flopped entirely.  Was all excited about the Sox getting Machado and then reverted back to saying the Sox don’t need him because of all their young prospects the second he signed with San Diego.
