[On the occasion of Lucas Giolito facing the Pittsburgh Pirates at Sox Park just a little more than a year after his no-hitter, we thought it would be fun to revisit the game with one of our staff writers who was there, our main beat guy for South Side Hit Pen at Sports Illustrated, Sam Sherman. I have linked coverage of ours from that day in the body and at the end of Sam’s recollection.]
After a pitcher does something especially cool like throw a perfect game or a no-hitter, you usually hear about how their pregame bullpen sessions either went poorly, or weren’t notable at all.
