It’s incredible how much stuff he’s lost. He’s going to be out of baseball in a few years at this rate.

His velocity sucks so much this year that I totally forgot he used to throw up to 97 and consistently sat mid 90s. 

28 pitch first

How does that big if a drop happen in just one offseason?

I feel like you could see it happening periodically last year.

The velocity issues started last year. I think his mechanics are all messed up right now.

yes with Reese McGuire as the Master of Ceremonies 

Well he clearly is not master of his own domain

And the “get some fucking runs now” phrase first comes out in just the second inning.

The one remaining to do item for Cairo is to send Gio to the bullpen and hand his remaining starts to Davis Martin

I wouldn’t mind it if Gio can’t regain his strength and falls apart like this every couple of weeks.

Lynn had a similar start yesterday as well (high pitch count, 1 run allowed first two innings). It helped the Sox staked him to a 3 run lead before the bottom of the 2nd.

Hopefully Lucas settles in as well, has had a much smaller margin of error with limited Sox offense behind his past two starts (0 vs. Oakland until his exit, 1 vs. Minnesota).

Where’s the fight boys? Let’s go.

anybody can play Torkelson at first base by the way. Lets see him in the outfield.

Reminds me of how he looked in the minors after the Sox acquired him.

only a couple years though

He's getting ahead of batters this game and just unable to put them away. His stuff is just bad now. 

Detroit's outfield shutting down Sox bats, vs. Hahn's epic failure in outfield and roster construction.

At least the Twins are no hitting Cleveland, though the bullpen is usually the bad part.

Harrison can't hit an outside fastball to save his life. Why is he playing?

Yep, I don’t get why they have gone back to him

Resting for the playoffs. 

They’ve really come out firing against this 100 loss opponent.  I guess these games aren’t important or anything.

 

Yoan has had two fastballs he should have murdered.  Offense is just so inconsistent right now.

So… taking bets.

How long until that clown behind home plate gets shut down?

Gio out here walking Baez.  Yikes.
