Great point. Limping into the playoffs with a young team spells 1 and out. Momentum is absolutely key.

I don’t disagree necessarily, but he doesn’t have that fire. Fulmer could still throw hard too. Maybe he has something left in the tank, but honestly, he just feels done. Seemed like that even before this latest injury.

Not Rodon’s fault, nonetheless, he’s done

Remember when everyone was pissed that Abreu was extended?

Love Madrigal! With that said... his base running last night may have cost the game. Both throw outs are in him.

and just taking a walk in general with the bases loaded

Sign him, want him talking with our guys

I liked the pick and like the call up. With that said, his attitude was poor when not breaking with the team. I get it, I want a competitor that’s confident. But he was not owed anything, should’ve been more gracious imo. That chip on his shoulder looks to be translating into pressing in his at bats. He’ll come around, but he lacks some of the maturity I had presumed was already part of his arsenal.

For sure, he hit it well. Wasn’t meant as a knock on Eloy. Just out of character from the more common no doubters.

Yeah but I meant because I think it bounced off the top of the wall.

Wasn’t Eloy’s first home run this year also a cheapy?

Agreed. Not that it would earth shattering, but I’d at least flip Abreu and Jimenez

We take the good with the bad in everything we do, just as it should be. It’s the standard for us all.

For the record though, I didn’t comment on Kopech. I was merely defending others in their pursuit to uncover the reasons Kopech decided not to pitch his season.

We agree on this 100%, accountability! Appreciate this

Soxtalk is in the red? There’s plenty of advertisements. Not a complaint, whatever keeps the lights on. It’s a great forum, I’m on a lot. Don’t always post, but I generally enjoy the community as a whole.

Hopefully you’re the head mod. Go Sox!

Nah, I like it here. Just want to protect free speech as it pertains to white sox baseball and the decisions of players that effect the team.

I actually could careless about what happened to him or why he’s not pitching. I wish him well and hope he battles in the Sox rotation next year and years to come. I’m just tired of shutting down conversations because someone didn’t like it or got their feelings hurt.

Fair enough, and we all could have continued discussing Kopech uninterrupted as well

lol, touché

It was formulated as a question, never made an accusation. It matters to some because people want to understand Kopech’s decision that impacted the team. No one is saying it was the wrong decision, but shutting down the conversation as to the details potentially leading to the decision is shortsighted.

Ironically, it seems the conversation was too heavy for the mods

I appreciate this explanation, thank you. I disagree but I’ll respect it. We’re in polar world right now, it hit a hot button to suggest Kopech is somehow off limits, regardless of the situation.
