The Boston Red Sox front office swung and missed at the trade deadline; that's nothing new, ans fans could tell the second it passed.
The team didn't falter immediately, winning five straight after the deadline and ultimately going 17-11 in August, but its pitching woes were bound to pop up again at some point.
They've resurfaced in Lucas Giolito's recent pitching performances. The righty has struggled with command in recent starts and isn't giving the length the Sox have been hoping for. In six of his last eight starts, he's allowed eight or more baserunners.
