Coming up out of the next break with @toucherandhardy on the Sports Hub. Red Sox at the quarter mark, Rafael Devers and more. Good series win at Kansas City and the road trip continues at Detroit.
Lubbock Regional for the NCAA softball tournament (Friday games): - @BrownU_Softball at No. 12 Texas Tech, 530 pm - Washington-Mississippi State, 8 pm First postseason appearance for the Bears since 1997. Ivy League tournament champions matched against a Big 12 power.
Lucas Giolito against the Royals: - 49% 4-seam fastball - 22% slider - 19% changeup - 10% curveball He was a combined 97% 4-seam fastball/changeup last outing against Texas. Could have been the rain, health, feel -- anything. This was a needed, encouraging adjustment today.
Lucas Giolito needs to at least show a third pitch. Fastball-changeup -- if it's not premium velocity and noticeable separation between the two -- isn't going to cut it more than once through the order. Texas is taking some good swings. The Red Sox are in a 5-0 hole.
