Giolito just hit 97

Still worrying about Gio's velo or nah

HE GONE!  13K!

Ks the side and ties his career high.  Outstanding!

Hell of an outing by Giolito

Remember when everyone said Giolito was definitely hurt 2 starts ago when he was *only* throwing 94?

The Sox may be beating up on bad teams, but that's what good teams do. Plus in a season like this the Sox are going to face a lot of bad teams. They should slaughter the Pirates next week too, assuming those games are played

If you're a Tigers fan you're thinking "man, this White Sox team is years ahead where of we are, at best".

Feels good, we've been on the other side of that.

yeah that nice start isn't going to hold up

IThe fact that they lost 20 straight to Cleveland is absolutely insane.

Carson Fulmer dfa'd by Detroit after like a week after they picked him up...I like Fulmer as a person but damn...how bad do you have to be to be cut from this Detroit team?

Mazara sure can foul a lot of good pitches to hit.

Mazara...

Mazara looks awful, good gamble but its clear hes a bust

I distinctly remember people saying that the Tigers and Orioles were further along in their respective rebuilds last year in game threads when the Sox lost to them ?

My god Mazara is useless at the moment.

Throwing 9 straight changeups in the seventh inning on 100 pitches and having no one come close is alpha shit

He has never been anywhere close to being this bad. 

 

Rochester NY in the House

Mendick and Moncada hitting 100 mph one hoppers, jeeze.

What a name. Funkhouser.

Did we ever find out if he had COVID?  If he did, perhaps he’s dealing with some lingering side effects.  To your point, he’s never actually been worse than league average against RHP and we’re not getting anything close to that at the moment.

Gotta love Mendick‘s approach there.

 

Biggest mancrush on a marginal player since Brent Morel when he hit like 10 homers one September.

 

Hopefully he will have a longer career ?

you'll have the world on the end of a string

I don't think officially, but I think it's pretty clear
