Wow. Only threw 12 pitches that inning. That'll work. He's definitely done now. 7 IP 8 H 2 R 2 ER 0 BB 9 SO.

Grudz is pretty bad too. He's probably my least favorite manager out of all our affiliates.

94 pitches. Grudz might send him back out to face one more hitter in the 7th, but I would think Kopech is done for the night.

You riding shotgun or me?

I'm loving the 0 walks he has so far.

Supposedly flight from Charlotte does land in Chicago at 11:55 tonight FWIW..

I think the org likes Nicky more (hell they featured him on the prospects show last season with CSN) but Palka's power might win out. In either case, either of those guys can go for Eloy.

I hope you're right JA. The kid has nothing else to prove down there.

I hope your right. Just odd they would announce the flu like symptoms just to call him up.

The way he reacted, I'd be shocked if his left thumb isn't broken.

Yea he shouldn't of been in the lineup in the first place with that nasty virus. Glad Grudzielanek took the kid out.

I'm almost positive the latter. He shouldn't of been in the lineup in the first place.

May take him a couple of starts to feel comfortable in a new org. Still had 6 K's in 5 IP. The rest of the line however...

He's org filler, but like Flete, they'll move him up next season since he has a great comradery with the other guys, especially the pitchers. Solid soldier for the organization.

First 4 game win streak all year for the boys. Must feel good for that young team.

Palka is gonna fuck around and lead our team in homers this year, watch.

Tank is back on.

Good news is Parke had 10 K's. Bad news is he gave up 5 runs. Basabe back in the lineup for Birmingham, battling leadoff.

Good lord Avi...

Going off the tweet, he believes Jimenez will end up in LF with us long term. I believe Sox have way too many good defensive outfielders on the rise. But none have Eloy's super star bat so he'll be very valuable in LF even with average defense. I'm about to listen too in a few.

Looks like Getz agrees with me about what I said all along about Jimenez in LF (sorry JoeCoolMan).

Barring a big inning, Sosa's 13 game hitting streak is about to be snapped. Rosario was great tonight.

You already lost.

Lency Delgado the only guy to get a hit off Urias. Great for the kid.

Now 3-3.
