All of these 91's from Gio is definitely a concern.

He’s throwing 91 mph fastballs, yikes

I mean he got a double play ball, a soft fly ball to left and a K.  A slow dribbler led off the inning.  Is what it is.  Score some more runs.

Soft fly ball isnt fair. But yeah, plenty of time and sox will win this

No - not true at all.  The defense is bad and there is a lot more left in this game.  This team is still good...very good.  

On paper.

On the field says something very different. They aren't a good team right now, sorry if you disagree.

You have to give your ace every chance to get out of it especially this early in the game

Struck him out with 91 mph FB

THATS A STRIKE

GODDAMNIT that was strike 3

Can't even blame Collins' framing. That's the most obvious strike you're ever gonna see.

FUCK YOU UMP

I took the dog out for a walk and come back to see it’s tied. What happened. 

This velocity is fucked

Yep when Robert and Moncada look like they did the last month of 2020, this team is average at best.

What? 

They've given them 3 extra outs lol

Yeah, seriously. Not many pitchers have to get 6 outs in an inning, due to defense, and take the fault.

HE GONE

He's lived here many many times in the past two years. 

Not concerning. Velocity is typically lower early on in the season and he's had multiple starts with an avg around 92. His fastball plays up due to his size and extension with the back spin

Tie game. Deep breath everyone. 

40+ pitch inning...

Everything that could have gone wrong this inning has.

You can blame the defense...but an ace pitches through this without imploding

What a bad take 

Don’t even care about this game, really worried why Gio is hovering at 91-92

Did the dog shit?  You saw it.

The only concerning part of this inning is Lucas.  Vaugn - meh; Collins - meh; Madrigal D - concerning...but no way should he be this bad. Gio being all over the place w/low velocity - worrisome.  

Gio always seems to lose it for an inning or two in almost every start. It's so weird.
