Any other effects on other players real or not is totally secondary to Roberts development. If he’s ready you move him up.

Impressive as hell to hold that bag

That whole ordeal pulling out iPad was interesting

True but he lost command in a bad way at the end there

Who could have foreseen that walk

Lets see if homie can get back on track next trip around

Walking Jackie Bradley. Hmm.

Honestly surprised no ones taken a flyer on him

That one was more on McCann than the ump

Tim just made his second sneaky great play of the night

He said something along the lines of getting away from miggy and trying to emulate him was the best thing that ever happened to him

It’s reeeeseeal tough to do anything when you get a call like that on the first pitch

Bust

Just tuning in but holy moly the slider looks on

Well you hope Cease + an acquisition or two allows you to slot him 4/5

It has less to do with the recovery than it has to do with still Kopech ultimately being an unknown, PLUS coming off surgery. Let's say Kopech came into 2019 healthy. If the Sox had designs of competing, penciling Kopech in at the number two or three spot still could be a recipe for disaster. Now add in, say, a 10% chance he doesn't come back right from surgery on top of all that and now competing and going into the season with Kopech as your #2 or #3 starter are likely mutually exclusive ideas. Maybe he comes back and is immediately a horse. Well, then great. Now you have extra depth. But you absolutely cannot count on that. From a roster construction standpoint he’s a backend starter until he shows you he’s not.

Are you making this up? BP has him at -3.7 Framing runs

Oh joy

Elite is a strong word

Hell of an AB so far

He quit because they told him his kid couldn’t hang in the clubhouse every day lol

Kelly’s missing by alot

Nah nobody thought this team could win. Laroche was infinitely more frustrating.

Gimme Collins for Yolmer after they walk Anderson here

Oh okay
