Twins vs White Sox Gamethread

>giobusto

oh boy here we gio

lets see if he can at least do better than fulmer
which isnt saying much

doublecada

finally hitcada

>EV 111 mph
he got way under that one

yoink

even when nickyd doesn't get a hit he brings the runs

Lucas Giolito isn't used to pitching to the crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field. Too big a difference from Charlotte because there's far less people.

eugh fulmer 2.0?

>>77756177

Two of the worst shutout innings have ever seen.

>>77756219
nvm theres a K

>>77756219
He actually got out of the second, so I guess not.

>>77756268
what about all those times with migo?

>bunting
nO

>STILL BUNTING

RIIIIICKKKYYYY

Adam doing his best Frazier impression.

>>77756307
He was more getting by with mediocrity.
I don't think Giolito has thrown a breaking pitch for a strike yet.

at least leury made contact
way to throw that inning away

ayyy a 1-2-3

doublecada part 2

hitcada!
is this gonna be one of those rare games where he gets hits or can it finally be when he starts figuring shit out

dat abroo hit

hahahahah wow

DONT BUNT NICKY

>>77756891

we need nicknames for Giolito

if hes good, giElite-o
if hes bad, giobusto
I tried

>

fuck

>giobusto

>gioshitto

It turns out throwing fastballs right down the middle isn't the best strategy. Who knew.

>>77757665
giogio

2 hits given up on 2 strikes
cant put them away

rack 'em

rackem

maybe he can still get a QS?

>5 ip 2 ER 4H 0 BB 3 K so far
>bust
Jeez guys calm the fuck down

>>77757928
were still feeling edgy cause of fulmer

>>77757928
I can't speak for anyone else, but whenever I post anything including "bust" I'm being facetious.

Damn just missed a hit

>>77757928
can't be agitated or calm if you don't have any expectations from the get-go.

>>77757968
same

only time I get serious is when I'm swearing up a storm in all caps yelling for players and their families heads and that's usually only at players who deserve it like holland

though there was that time I felt bad I mad swore at migo for having a shitty outing and then after he went on the DL
Since coming back as we've seen apart from a couple hiccups hes been fine again

damn that was a juicy 3-2 to kill and he didnt

oh well his on base streak already continued, 5 now

come on gio 3 more outs

Are you fucking kidding me

so many fastballs right down the middle...

>>77757665
If he were still a National he could be NatGio.

>>77758223
and yet another

rip QS

god fucking damn it

>garcia fucked everything up
good great

Not looking great. Is the fastball the only pitch he has confidence in throwing for a strike?

autographed baseball card. David Stearn, Brewers GM who let Delmonico go, has gone into exile the only way a Wisconsinite can: Going to the North Woods, eating cheese, and blaming
everyone in Illinois for his own problems.

hahahaha good stuff

mood lifted temporarily

Hahahahahahahah


Also wasn't there also an article on Kahnle on him being GOAT earlier this year??

>>77758424
On Fangraphs yeah, it wasn't a joke though.

>bummer in now

fuck this game

I guess given the meatballs gio was throwing it could have been worse

well see what adjustments and hopefully Coop'll fixim

>>77758620
He did fine, happy with the no walks
Should've been only 3 runs at most but leury proved why he isn't going to be a starting outfielder in a season or two

>>77758645
that is true but many of his fbs which arent high in velo to begin with were in the middle of the zone super hittable as we saw. that part doesnt seem good. I'm going off eye/game day zone though. I'm sure deeper analysis after will paint a better picture.

>>77758645
I imagine him getting sent down once Davidson comes back.

>>77758720
Isn't there an expanded roster in September?
