Sounds like Nardi agrees with me then that Giolito isn't the guy to give $100+ million to :lol:

Exactly. He's adequate. His stuff can be great. He should be dominant. He shouldn't be a guy that runs on cunning and guile. Cease and Giolito should be one of the best 1-2 punches in MLB. Maybe THE best since Johnson and Schilling. Instead there is often a fight at the batrack in the opposing dugout when Giolito starts.

Alright. We fundamentally disagree on his weapons. His 4 seamer blows, his curve has no command, it's his slider and two types of change ups that are his arsenal. Changeups being the hardest pitch to throw, it's going to be a hit and miss on a particular day. His entire success is built on a changeup.

But definitely a good step.


Cease vs Verlander is the matchup of the week.


Read where they have not had a matchup like this since 05


Looking forward to watching it tonight.

Neither did I. In fact, I called him Vazquez. More than once.

I can't recall a game this year that Giolito has been lights out in.

He's having a bad year. Do you guys not remember that he just went through three years of being 6, 7 and 11 in Cy Young voting. Cueto has had a great career but never put together a run like that.

I think he has always overestimated his market value but I'd be happy to extend him for three years right now at something like $15 per.

When he was using Spider Tack. Even then, there was something that didn't make me feel he could be a big game pitcher.

Hearing Dusty talk about old pitching duels reminds you how much of a dinosaur he is. Nearly everyone he mentions is dead.

Yep. Someone should have told Sosa to take a pitch.

Correct. Last night Eloy gets that hit, in that situation, 1 out of 10 times. That just happened to be the one time.

They will lose the next 3 games.

How is it it that Cease, with a 1.94 ERA, is averaging 5.1 innings per start?

Wtf?

That pick-off saved a run. Vaughn is a DH, but he has to catch that.

And thats why you need more than 1 off Verlander when you have that chance

How is it that the Sox have a lineup with #5 and 6 hitters hitting .198 and .199?

Wtf?

Yep, and it’s the reason there really isn’t hope of them making a sustained run. Too many games will be lost on crappy defense.

Especially when we know the offense isn’t scoring a ton of runs.

Verlander gets better as the game goes on so this is probably now a loss

Vaughn is a dick slapper but that pitch HAD to be a slider based on the two swings before. He was sitting dead red.

The Sox #5 hitter is slugging .261 with an ops of .560. That's embarrasin'.
