Lucas Giolito’s recent run of
strong pitching—he’s 6-1 on the season after last night’s 4-0 complete-game shutout
of the Astros—leads to the question, is Giolitio old-school or new-school?
Listening to him talk about how he
changed his approach in the offseason, you’d definitely say new-school; I’m
pretty sure Giolito mentioned “centering his core” or words to that
effect. Whatever, he attacked the zone
yesterday, throwing 107 pitches (82 for strikes) and netting nine strikeouts against
four singles and a walk. I actually
heard Giolito say after the game that he took a look at his pitch count in the
seventh inning and felt he could throw a complete game.
Now, that’s old-school.
