I mean, AJ is biased too. I haven't noticed anything glaring from either party. I would say both are doing a fine job. 

Yup. They are both doing fine.

I think AJ is waiting until (if) we get the lead to start running his mouth a bit.

Bury the slider here....

Why is this bothering you so much?  The dude does Cubs games.  We had the worst homer of all time.  Kasper isn’t even close to what we had.

Exactly...

To be honest, in every sport. I'll never understand why fans let announcers bother the sh*t out of them. Some people really can't get past what a damn announcer is talking about. I swear, I have never (in my life) really heard anything worth complaining about. It's mind boggling to me how much people give a sh*t.

good call bro

Gio still racking up the K's.

Gio looks great.

Bryant sucks against Giolito minus the cheap lost in the sun hit.

Maybe a little boring but mostly fine

I want Tilson to bunt here.

Why does no one bunt on Lester???

Gio needs a quick inning next time out.  Pitch count a little high but he looks great so far.

I mean, you're too loud. Then you're an obnoxious homer. You're too neutral and you're boring. 

Fans will b*tch regardless.

 I am in concurrence with this idea.

Outside of a 2 strike pitch to Baez and a sequence vs Robels where he lost his command for a split second. Giolito has been dominant. 

EDIT: knock on wood

It would have been a double play if Eloy catches the ball in the sun.  Baez was running home regardless.

Shit... nice play

Russell makes up for his error.

Would have been very nice to have Tilson's speed on for the top of the order. Damn

Still baffles me to this day. You can literally bunt right at him and he'd have to run to 1B. But NL teams don't do it.

Pierzynski saying TA is ahead of schedule. Running and taking grounders today

Just don’t get no hit

I have decided it is time to quit worrying about Giolito's velocity in the early innings. I think he is pulling a Verlander.

Is it possible that he just can't throw off of the mound? I could have sworn I've seen him actually make some decent plays on slow hit balls and bunts.

He was hitting 96 in the first inning.
