You picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue.

I will be at tonight's game. We were supposed to go to Sunday's game, but my son has never seen CC pitch and this will be his last chance, so we swapped dates. Hopefully CC has a good 5 or 6 innings in him since he'll need against the red hot Giolito.

Lucas Giolito has thrown eight straight Quality Starts. To put that in some perspective, CC,Paxton and Happ combined have one more than that for the season.
During that span, the most hits he has allowed is five. In his last two starts, he has allowed no runs in 15 innings.
On the bright side, the Yankees hit him harder than any other team, scoring six runs in six innings back in April.
He is about as hot as any pitcher in the American League right now. Hopefully his luck runs out tonight.

You picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue. Surely, you can't be serious. |

At least you get to see the good lineup with the players we have right now Chi, no surprise substitutions. Also, you might get to see CC's 250th win! Not bad!

Hey who remembers my percent wins from year to year... It will be a tough game. We are not playing well right now particularly our starters. We are looking for Klingon type glory here  |

Why is Giolito suddenly so good?
According to what I’ve found on reading various web sites, he has decided to follow the league trend of checking his analytics and utilizing them to improve.
His 4 seam fast ball and his sinker have combined to be used a bit over 60% of the time in the past. The four seamer was getting hit into the stands too often, and while the sinker was predictably difficult to elevate, it was still being hit hard enough for batters to hit over .330 on it last season.
He’s completely abandoned the sinker and reduced the usage of the four-seamer. His out pitches are now a slider that moves dramatically away from RHH and a changeup that moves away from LHH.
If the Yanks are sitting red tonight, he just might own them the same way he’s been owning everyone else this league. They’d do well to look for the pitches he’s now accentuating and make sure they’re strikes. He’s also throwing his fastball more as a “show me” pitch, not getting as much of the plate with them as in the past.
If he throws the stuff at us that has been working (above) and has top command/control, he may be untouchable, so the best course of action may be look off speed and breaking ball... and lay off a few in the early going...Make him get them over the plate, be ready to hit to the opposite field when you do swing. It sounds so easy, it makes me want to grab a bat. The 🦇 bit me!!!

How great that a young fan cares to get a peek at a grizzled old veteran in his walk away (limp away?) year... |
