DH in the NL

If they actually paid any attention to his last start that would’ve been a great question to get Kopech’s take on the whole situation. It would’ve been worth listening too.

Did he say anything about hitting the guy who bunted off him.

The Sox have been such a terrible team this year that it’s hard to believe 2 other teams have been worse. It’s really going to be disappointing if 2 more teams drop them to 5.

No update on Cease? The level of concern from the crowd seems to be minimal. Thought for sure more panic would’ve set in by now.

Such a waste on this team. If a team calls Hahn this off season interested in Abreu I hope he listens.

Unfortunately Shields

The Rodon situation is a lot harder to navigate than Sale. We couldn’t build a winning environment around a top 5 pitcher in the game, so he gets traded. Nobody knows what Rodon is yet due to his injuries. If he’s injury free the rest of this year and next is he a top 10 pitcher? If he’s a top 10 pitcher do we maximize his trade value if the team is still garbage? Boras is going to get Rodon paid if he reaches top 10 status, and nobody has faith we’ll be the team giving him that deal. To me, I hope Rodon stays healthy and reaches his ceiling the rest of the year and next so we can maximize his trade value. Then trade him at his peak. The return should be just as good as Q’s return.

Clemens was an unlikable dbag. I want to like Kopech.

Don’t forget being a juicer. Too bad Clemens is his comp. I’d be happier if we could compare him to Scherzer.

It really isn’t about what else he’s done. It’s the fact that a guy laying down a bunt for a hit can piss Kopech off so much that he hits him the next time up on purpose. He would’ve been tossed in the majors. Who knows how many games he would’ve been suspended for just because some guy lays down a bunt for a hit.

The reason for the HBP was stupid. He clearly hasn’t removed any doubt that his maturity is a major work in progress. We’re lucky they didn’t retaliate by drilling Jimenez.

Wtf? I have a feeling it’s going to be a circus when Kopech finally makes it to Chicago.

They’re gonna drill Jimenez

With Kopech’s stuff I wonder why he would make a stupid reaction like he just did after the guy bunted for a hit?

J.B. Bukauskas getting it done against the Dash. Only 1 hit through 7.
