Good changeup there.

Thought it was a solid frame attempt

It was. 

sad seeing giolito like this

Not pretty but he gets the job done...

I want our ace back though.

a few more pitches than we all would have liked, but no harm no foul

too many pitches

Giolito's command is always a bit worse in the 1st inning and his velo is also always a bit lower from the stretch. Not worried....yet. 

Leadoff walk stranded.

glove was tracking too far down imo, those are almost never called low strikes.  has to get the glove lower initially imo.

at least he was able to get some 95mph in there, little encouraging, and Yoan just fires a fucking seed, mercy.

Wasn’t pretty but got job done. Early runs would be great here

Well, only damage was to his pitch count.

Outside of the Cubs, how many teams played early Friday games lol. 

Or Mon/Wed/Thurs getaway games...but I guess the “insidery” nerd in Benetti is quite excited to have an Athletic reporter tuning in.

Hit 95 on the FB a couple times, that's encouraging

Lets hope he cleans it up as hes thrown more balls than strikes; at this pace he'll be out after 4.2

Wait, did the Sox just do Cleveland's "run scored Mario coin" sound effect when they recorded the first out? I didn't hear it on the K and the bumper music played after the last out, maybe I'm I'm just hearing things.

Certainly hope we're not using Cleveland's schtick, though.

I think Burger might have an even bigger arm...it’s quite close.  (this, of course, doesn’t indicate a desire to replace Yoan)

The Royals broadcast has the side that Vaughn bats from listed as "5", which I suppose is a thing

There definitely was some sound effect there.

If it's not zero, it's close to it

a leadoff walk then tim terrorizing keller on the base paths would be nice
