Agreed. But Kopech opted out because he didn’t want to risk injuring his arm again with the stopping/restarting of the season, so I don’t think it’s happening.
Yes he could opt back in, but with 24 games left in the regular season it’s not worth the risk. He’d have less than 4 weeks to ramp up after not facing hitters since March.
Even worse to bring him out to start the 7th inning against Cruz with Marshall ready in the pen. Who he then brings in after Cordero gives up a double to Cruz.
Just mind-numbingly dumb.
Yea that makes no sense. I’m not an expert but strep is treated with antibiotics, so you stop being contagious rather quickly. Not sure why he had to stay home for 2 weeks for strep lol
