Look at Ray Ray Run

He did say he was learning defensive drills from abreu which could explain his struggles.

Lol you and harold are in midseason form.

He saw a lot of great pitches, and looked like a first full year after being drafted guy for sure.

Haha, sure. I just think many of those who don't like benetti take the game too seriously themselves. Not all but many.

Benetti is fantastic. Those who don't like benetti, I dont really understand. Sox have one of the best play by play guys in sports

Thought his slider has looked great multiple times and his fastball needs to find its release but he was fine. He faced actual good big leaguers.

It was available, but now it's been taken down. You can still get county by county data, but that would take forever to set up a database to pull all the county data.

Isn't that exactly what he's doing?

And please look up the definition of communism. TIA.

What? Forcing them? You know what a demand shock is? People arent going out. People arent buying things. People lose jobs because revenue is down because a virus is killing people all across the country. The economy cannot repair itself until the public health crisis is fixed. When people like you start dying, we can start moving forward as a nation who gives a fuck about people again.

How is protecting the safety of employees communism? So dumb.

Agreed.

They would have been in short season anyway I think. Probably just play them in fall and winter.

Agreed. Really underrated aspect of this season. With 60 games in 66 days catchers will be taxed. Almost 10 weeks with only 6 days off.

Two catchers are probably more valuable this year than in a regular season

Kopech is the one who brought it to the public sphere openly to promote dialogue about it.

Yeah I'm confused by what everyone is upset about as well. That's how i read them as well.

I'm pretty sure they'd rather he be there, but they've handled and managed this well.

Has nothing to do with being ready physically; seems to be discomfort mentally with an unorthodox and unusual process/camp and season. If he doesn't feel comfortable yet, or with this season in particular, it's his career and he should do what he feels is best for it.

With all do respect, this kind of doctor talk drives me insane. You're not kopech. You don't know how he feels. You also proclaiming if a guy isnt over an injury in less than 2 years then his career is over and he never will be the same drives me nuts. As if the timeline you set for a stranger in your head is the only way recovery is possible. This is eerily reminiscent of the Derrick rose nonsense I read from "doctors."

Unless the Sox were going to dick him around and deny him the full year of service time; as I said, at which point he should sit out.

Just out of curiosity, would you go to work for no pay for the love of your co-workers? Regardless, I'm not buying the financial angle only; mainly because the trade off is playing only 60 games to get a full year of service time, unless he felt the Sox were going to dick him and deny him that full year regardless in which case he should sit out and say f off.

I agree, I just think kopech was already gonna be limited anyway and is young enough where this impact may not crush him as much.

People again are losing there minds for nothing. There's a good chance this season doesn't even finish - strong chance they don't even start it at all. People are worried about experience when no one is going to be getting a ton of experience this year as is.

This is another point. This isn't ideal conditions for a guy who was hurt. 20 days to get ready is nothing compared to a normal camp, and he had already begun to rev it up earlier. Now he can control his rehab pace and assure he comes back as healthy as he believes is possible
