The pitch to Gurriel was a high changeup. Not sure why they keep throwing fastballs to Granderson as well. Biggest issue Giolito has is command on slider/curve is so awful, the hitters aren't even tempted to swing.

2 batters, 2 hits. Cooper always has these guys ready to go.

Nice deal for both teams

He needs to check the boxes before he can become a pitcher.

He legit has good stuff

Every team's fans thinks their manager tinkers to much. Sox just have crappy hitters.

Not sure what's going on with Timmy's swing, but he's letting go with one hand real frequently. Might be nice to give him a break one of next few games to regroup.

It's where you wonder just how useful Cooper is with the new philosophy of pitching to combat the launch angle revolution.

Nope, he's way more instincts than pure speed

Also please move Yolmer down in the order. No reason he should be getting so many more at bats that Anderson or Avi

If this continues, it's going to be difficult to pencil him into the rotation next season. The one thing that will kill this rebuild is if all the young pitchers bust, as Hahn went the pitching path instead of the hitting path with the rebuild.

But the fastball doesn't miss bats. That's a big problem when you don't have good offspeed pitches.

ERA of 4.45 and counting. His fastball command has been freaking awful last two starts. His velocity is down as well. The stuff he's shown the last month is not starting caliber.

Best looking prospect on W-S now that Adolfo is hurt.

Personally I'm ready for a new voice as pitching coach, but I'm sure Cooper has a lifetime contract.

Sometimes I wonder just what the hell Cooper is preaching to his pitchers and catchers going into a start. 6 pitches, all fastballs to Grichuk?

Might be time to skip one of Reynaldo's starts. He's had a consistently big workload all season. This is a really disappointing effort by him.

Ricky and Cooper on hugwatch? I will take a bag of baseballs for Ricky.

Lopez on just an awful run right now. Regression catching up to him. He's definitely pitching himself into a question mark. He needs to come into the games with more focus and for the love of god develop a better changeup

I also think talent development with coaching is becoming even more important

The rebuild got pushed back in the mind of a lot of Sox fans who naively thought Machado was a lock to sign here this upcoming offseason .

Well said

IMO, it was always going to be Monday if they promote Eloy and/or Kopech. Day off and allows more tickets to be sold.

Anderson, Riley, Pache and Contreras for Rodon and Cedeno
