chw42 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Lucas is getting to 2 strikes, trying to get guys to swing at his off-speed stuff, then giving up hard contact when he has to throw his fastball in the zone. Not a recipe for success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a recipe for success. At least his velocity is up a little bit this inning. But yeah this has not been a great performance. If he only gives up 1 run through 4, that would feel quite lucky given how he’s pitched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m thinking too. They can foul off FBs and hit the Change hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I’ve been in the “Giolito is fine” camp, but this start has finally shaken me. Hopefully it’s just a rough patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consistent hard contact, poor command, and lack of whiffs is alarming. Even during bad starts the last 2 years this stuff didn't happen.

Starting to wonder if scouting is catching up to Giolito’s FB/CH combo and how much he’s gonna have to adjust/switch it up with how much he sees the same teams.
