    A game without Robert is like a day without sunshine.

    The combination of his chains and that smile shouldn't been looked at directly with the naked eye. Need to wear sunglasses when you're around him.

    What's Engel up to these days? 

    Sounds like they're being super cautious with him so he doesn't reinjure himself. I think he's back for the next road trip or the Twins series at the latest barring another setback.

    Agreed. They need to be very smart about limiting his innings during the regular season. You need him available to start in the playoffs, if possible.

    100% agree. I dont want him starting unless it's a DH or spot starts like today. Let him give you 5IP a week out of the pen til July then put him in the rotation.

     

    I wouldnt be surprised with a Dodgers-like 10 day IL stint or two to control his innings tbh

    Stepping back from scrutiny will not be a path to success for many parts of Kopech’s game going forward, since he remains one of the highest-ceiling pitchers in the organization. People understandably want to know what one of the most talented young pitchers in the sport was doing when he elected not to play last season and how long that decision will push back his ascent to the White Sox rotation.

    Part of the answer is that by September 2020, he was talking to Teaford about getting back on a mound to start ramping up. He was talked out of going that quickly, but where other pitchers shut down over the offseason and then restart again, Kopech has been slowly building up his work since then so that spring training wouldn’t be a big, taxing jump in activity.

    Great article from Fegan on Kopech today. Pulled some info on what he did last year during his opt-out. 

     

    Definitely believe his worries about building his arm back up if he didnt start pitching on a mound until September.

    Or to go out of their way to b**** about something on a day where we've played as well as we have all year.

    I'd feel sorry for him, but then I remember he mocks people with disabilities so f that.

    If he can play a quality fundamental game he will be a good enough starting player.  He's had a good couple games in a row.  

    Yet, if he has a couple bad games in a row you're all over him. Hmmm....

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little b****? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. YOU'VE BROUGHT ME HOME KIDDO

    dude if Nick is a good player this team is just fucking stacked. like just stacked.

    It's so nice having 8-9 guys that you're excited about at the plate. For so long I would only care about Abreu AB's and then eventually TA and Yoyo.

    He was crushing the ball in AAA in 2019 and even during September call ups they didn't give him a shot. Think of all the trash bats we have given so much playing time at DH the past few years while we've had Yermin in the system. 

    Wellington Castillo playing at all that September over Collins and Yermin was absolutely mind-boggling.

    I'd say he is. He gets gigs in all different sports. Big names like SVP will go on about how incredibly good he is. Same with local guys like Bernstein. 

    He's works for ESPN and gets rave reviews from everyone he works with.
