What happens when some assholes do this on the road? This is bad. No this is not bad #dumbtake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, nothing will come of this and Kopech was more than justified to get upset. He didn't Albert belle the ball either it was described on Twitter as a "hard toss". You can also just not acknowledge the fans doing the heckling like most other professional sports players. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can acknowledge people are human and that when people are hurling vile insults about your kid at you you might get a little heated. FFS this happens in the NBA constantly and nothing ever comes of it. Lebron was just involved in an incident the other month. FWIW the overwhelming response on this on Twitter is to ban the fans from the stadium and that Kopech did nothing wrong. Only here is the bed wetting occurring, go figure.

Now what if it was Benetti who had to be held back, how would you feel? Fans should be banned but Kopech needs to keep his cool and let security handle it 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Mercedes Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 A different player I would say no big deal. But Kopech in particular has to keep his mental approach to the job clean, otherwise it can affect his career. Obviously he has life issues to deal with, and should find ways to cope better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Not great. People are going to do this everywhere he goes. You can't throw things at fans. That'll lead to some issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I literally saw this happen. Was in LF corner so couldn’t hear anything but I saw it. He didn’t “throw” the ball at anyone. The ball was tossed. Some words were exchanged thereafter. Bullpen coaches told him to take a seat and that was that. Kopech clearly shouldn’t be as bothered by heckling as he appeared to be but this is a non issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 People love Hendriks hooting and hollering when he gets a NON-SAVE out in the 8th inning, but Kopech can't show emotion when people are talking shit about his kid? Just lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Wow, another red flag for Kopech. The guy clearly has some issues. He should be able to ignore heckling fans like every other major leaguer does. He won’t last long at this rate. Embarrassing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I'd really like to see the Sox consider a six starter rotation to help keep everyone fresh to close the year and allow Kopech to start in October. Perhaps start in June/July, manage Kopech tighter until then, consider an occasional Lopez/Lambert start if there is a short term injury to keep Kopech on target for his target with October factored in. Should help the other starters also manage their increased year over year innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
