Lucas' curveball is basically a waste pitch tonight.

Boxberger as the set-up man has been a circus act

Jake Cousins has been one of the best relievers in baseball since they called him up. Righty slider monster that throws 96. Hopefully the Sox can avoid him and Hader in this series.

Still no strikeouts for Gio through 10 batters faced...

This normally helps to keep the pitch count down unless he is giving up too many hits.

Doubt Leury gets him even if he comes up with it clean. 

Only facing Peralta for 4 innings tonight would be such a gift.

Giolito just isn't missing enough bats tonight

Frame the ball Collins!

He doesn't have anything at all tonight.

Seeing a decent amount of fastballs at 93

Ugh now Lucas has lost his release point.

Imagine how bad Yermin must be behind the plate if they're willing to play Collins every day but not give Yermin a shot

I think we're getting into an area where SP are getting fatigued because of the short season last year. There's a reason why a lot of teams are doing tandem stuff right now.

Giolito and Cease both seem to be getting very few swings at pitches outside the zone this year.

Collins is not a good enough catcher for a first place team.  I wished we could have afforded to keep McCann.

Pitch selection awful right now

his curve is so bad tonight stop calling it

Jesus stop throwing the curveball.

This is as mediocre as his stuff has looked all season

Nice meltdown. 

Damn

God awful pitch selection.

Gio ain't got shit tonight

The pitch sequencing there was…not good.

you don't run on andrew vaughn

That was such a headup play by Moncada, almost got the double play
