Harold is a nice guy and was a great player but he could be the most boring person on the planet.

Lucas Giolito is a motherfucking ace...

He's dominating a really good lineup with high fastballs.

Yeah, the high heat is working so far.

So far giolito is dealing. 

Lucas has a real shot at the single game strikeout record right now.

Don't talk about that until he's thru 6 with 14+ K.

Bassitt is all over the place and the Sox can neither lay off balls nor hit center cut fastballs. They're getting themselves out.

Not really.  Thought I would have fun with the game thread for a second but you managed to try and ruin the game for me live also, so thanks.

Sox fans just shouldn’t have to watch the trash known as Adam Engel.

He dropped his hands so badly on that high fastball

Todd Steverson is the new Greg Walker.

If you enjoy the Sox current offensive approach, you are one twisted individual.  ?

Whoopsies.

Well and now the 93 mph getting crushed

I am sick of the Oakland A’s.

Jinxed.

Giolito getting tattooed now.

They shouldn't have gone heavy fastball the 2nd time through the lineup. They should have gone more to the change. They're looking high fastball now. 

Does Lucas even throw the curve any more ?

This is going to be who Gio is until he learns to keep guys guessing with a curve/slider every now and then. Decent, but that 3rd pitch can bring him up a notch.

Its because they didn't change up the pitch selection the 2nd time through the order. Anyone with half a brain could have gone into their next AB looking high fastball.

Not really. Every time he breaks one out it gets crushed.

I went to the game 2 Sundays ago knowing they would probably lose 10-0 going in (Covey game). They lost 11-1 and I still had a fun time at the park.

TA is about 30 plate appearances short of being in the rankings for the AL batting title. Otherwise he would be second behind LaMaheiu. He should qualify before the season ends.
