00:00It's been a while, obviously, Alex, but Lucas Giolito is scheduled to make his Major League debut for the Red Sox tonight.

00:08What do you expect from the big right-hander, and how's he looking?

00:12Yeah, I mean, obviously, the numbers in the rehab assignment weren't great.

00:16He walked a lot of people.

00:18Hopefully, the case tonight is, like, it's the big stage, it's the big leagues,

00:23and he's going to be able to punt the strike zone.

00:25That's the most important thing.

00:27The most important thing, let's be honest, you know, he's back.

00:30You know, he's going to be a big part of what we're trying to accomplish, regardless of the results today.

00:34He can go two innings and struggle, or he can go seven and then be great.

00:39And the fact that he's going to be in our rotation and we know what he's capable of doing is very important for us.

00:45And he has a great support system here.

00:47We're going to help him with everything that we can, and hopefully it's a good one tonight,

00:51but, you know, it doesn't dictate what's going to happen the rest of the season.
