On May 8, Lucas Giolito took the mound against Class AAA Indianapolis and had a troubling start.

Not only did the White Sox’s pitching prospect give up 5 runs (4 earned) on 7 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings, his lack of composure was frequently mentioned by the Indy broadcast team.

Giolito — acquired from the Washington Nationals in the Adam Eaton trade — took the loss that night, dropping his record to 0-5 and raising his ERA to 7.31.

The composure was still lacking in the big right-hander’s postgame meeting with the media.

“I wasn’t expecting to start the year like this,” Giolito said. “I mean, the numbers are atrocious. It frustrated me, definitely, a lot earlier in the year, like, why am I not figuring it out? Now all I can do is trust the work I’m putting in and hopefully put it together soon.”

As the White Sox slowly rebuild and look to the future, minor-league arms like Reynaldo Lopez, Michael Kopech, Carson Fulmer, Alec Hansen, Dane Dunning and Spencer Adams were the names most frequently mentioned
