Giolito was my very least favorite of all the prominent starting pitcher free agents. I'm trying to give him a clean slate and hope he proves me wrong.
It's just spring training, just getting his work in, best shape of his life, new pitching strategies will fix everything, etc. etc.
Per Gameday, it looks like he threw some changeups early-on down in the zone (one of which got punished). Then he seems to be nowhere near the zone with the change.

Also, re: Flemming, there's something disingenuous and ever-so-vaguely hostile about his ass-kissing/teasing of Joe. It's remarkable Joe hasn't snapped at some point and tried to brain him with his chair.

Amen, I’ve noticed that as well. Tush kissing weirdo.
And if Joe ever does snap, on that day we will all be Joe

Yes!
I've been trying to put my finger on his attitude, even beyond his logorrhea. Compared to the way he chats with Lumer about actual baseball things, there's a vague whiff of "I'll humor the old man by talking old man things" or somesuch.

Last year's mlb.tv sub has stopped working now. Wish they'd broadcast more games the first week.

Caron keeps saying that IF Story can get back offensively to the player he was in Colorado, then, etc..., like that is ever going to happen. Guess it's better than hearing him talk about his golf game. . .

Why is that a ridiculous thing to talk about? He's not saying he will, he's talking about IF. Seems like a perfectly reasonable ST discussion/speculation topic.

Thad Ward shutting down the Sox.
Story is 0-3 with 3 whiffs, yuck.
He and Giolito and Grissom are hugely important this year...

Philip Sikes crushes one out of the park to put the Sox in front.
SIKE! It was actually Cutter Coffey, the announcers had the wrong guy hitting that absolute bomb.

I was reading Coffey’s scouting report. Just curious what this means because I’ve never heard it before.

“Above-average raw power, but below-average present power.”
