Lucas, Mirror

Lucas Giolito has spent the season so far deciding if he wants to be a number-one or umber-five starter. Off yesterday’s performance, Giolito looks to be leaning to the back end of the rotation. The purported ace of the staff gave up three homeruns in a 4-3 loss to the Tigers. Giolito had such a good time grooving a pitch to 28-year old rookie Eric Haase in the second inning that he did it again in the fourth. Giolito also gave up a longball to Miguel Cabrera, who swings every bit of the 38-year old he is. In his postgame remarks, Giolito said all the right things, how he made mistakes—three, to be exact—and has to do better. To which all I can say is, Time to put up or shut up, Lucas.
