This team isn't making the playoffs with both TA and Robert out of the line up. There are already too many holes in the line up without missing those two. The starting pitching would have to be lights out the rest of the way and as Giolito is showing again today that isn't going to happen.

Why pitch to him

Tucker isn't a easy out behind him. 

Gio is just not what he was. Oh well, a split it is, so disappointing 

I just cannot, cannot handle our RF strategy. And I don’t care, totally a Hahn thing.

Some of this is leaguewide. Manfred keeps messing with things — sticky stuff, changing the ball, humidors etc.  with next to no Spring to adjust, Sox right field heavy approach does not work with deadened ball.

If the Sox are going to continue to have a RH heavy lineup and hit to the opposite field, then at least bring the RF fence in 20 feet before next season.

Lucky it wasn’t a sweep, so I will take a split. 

Giolito is just a huge, yawning disappointment.

Holy shit, fuck off Lucas

I was very happy with a split going in to the series....now, not so much.

The moncada of pitchers

Pitching out of the windup with a man on 2nd?

So true…just a ridiculous loss of physical ability during what should be their peak 

Giolitto is going to kill the Pen today

Now I think about it, might have been intentional. Sox are playing like cowards worrying about the sign stealing.

I think it's to make sure Bregman doesn't relay signs to Tucker. 

Kill me

Why is he working from the windup with a man on second?

Why do they still not hold on runners?

What in the hell has this team improved on from year to year?

And a 92 mph fastball right down the plate.  Please trade him this offseason.

These are 92 MPH fastballs right down the middle...

Really miss those “Lucas giolito was the worst pitcher in baseball” ads

GAS     CAN!!!!

Nothing, they’ve regressed.  Only Cease and Lopez have shown any improvement this year.

Lucas shit the bed again. How's the extra weight treating you lucas?

Don't worry. Offensive explosion must be imminent.

Dude is a shell of what he was last year and is pitching terrified.

The day Davis Martin comes back up, Lucas is starter #6.
