Fucking shocker there.  

yikes

Crap.

This is as bad as Giolito has looked in a long time.

Low 90s and can't locate it.  Why is he out there right now?

This team really is a joke.  It doesn't seem like they care.

His body language is awful also.  And yes, he does look like he’s about to vomit.

Royals had 546 dogs for Bark at the Park. Odds on dogs counted leading WS runs scored this season?

First AL home run for Bobby Witt.

109 EV.  Well over 400 feet 436 to be precise.  Each of his four topping the previous in distance.

Go get him, Tony.

Agreed, I personally think they’re in a ton of trouble.  They’re showing no signs of snapping out of it.

Not sure there's anything to snap out of. I don't think this is a good offense. Too many holes.

It's all due to that $25-50000 disagreement lol.

Probably nausea caused by considering how unlikely it is that the Sox score more than 3 runs to bail him out.

He doesn’t care about winning.  He cares about the team playing the way he thinks baseballs should be played.

Is he even worth the big contract?

There seems to be no end to the hitting funk.  They are not helping themselves with their approach.....

Yep, can’t hit righties.  It’s an issue that has come out of nowhere.

No chance for me

Lol now the ump is calling every borderline pitch

If the Sox don't pay him, they'll never pay any high end SP.

seems harsh to judge him when he's coming off COVID and looks like a ghost on the mound right now.

Well that was better

He's not going to get it from the Sox now...and that might be for the best all things considered.

More value trading him like the Twins did with Berrios last year.

Next time Cease walks multiple guys in an inning people on here won't want to pay him either. Letting all of the good pitchers walk doesn't seem like a great strategy to me.

Yeah I wouldn't give too much weight to this start for Lucas. He's a solid #1 starter easy. It just feels like 2 runs is insurmountable to this offense.

2-1 seems like an insurmountable deficit these days!  Can’t wait for the Yankee series this weekend!

Giolito at 69 pitches through 3. They will be lucky to get 5 out of him.
