Kopech coming up to face KC next week? Pure speculation, but could see the Sox promoting them on Monday and have Kopech go Wednesday

One would think. I also think Eloy is forcing the issue. Maybe we see both early next week?

I see him as a future reliever anyways, so maybe velocity increases. That slider alone should make him a quality LOOGY as a floor of his ability

#badlyforadley

I believe he hasn't walked in 30 straight games now

DFA time for Volstad.

It's starts like this that make it harder to proclaim the Sox won the Shields trade. With that said, I think he stays rest of year to provide innings and "leadership"

Yep really good at bats

That was some camera angle

Just a case of a manager not using his best reliever because of a made up "save" stat

Ricky is not going to be using this game for his managerial resume.

Strike 3, such bs

Saw he had a 2-0 count against a guy who throws from that arm angle and figured he would crush it. Similar arm angle to Leake, and he demolished him.

If you're trading Rodon now, it better be for a Q like package.

The story is he didn't want to admit he reinjured himself and have to go on the DL. Too late

And it's also come out that he suffered an injury early in the game, which prevented him from running

Nice stuff by Soria. Hahn is so going to package Shields, Soria and Cedeno in the same trade.

5 of Giolito's last 6 starts have been pretty damn good. Velocity for sure has stabilized in the 93-94 range, and he looks infinitely more comfortable throwing it.

I see no rush, and I don't think AA is going to be fun for him in terms of power. Also, won't he get to play in postseason for W-S?

his appearances of late have been 1000 times more enjoyable than early in the year. He's at least close to the zone with fastballs he misses on. Earlier in the year, he was missing by feet and not inches and then looking like he wanted to fight the mound.

welcome to 2nd half Yoan!!

dear god Benetti, drop the stone puns

I LOVE the pick off moves with the pitcher, as it's been very effective. Hate it from our catchers that have mediocre arms.

nice job by Lucas.....don't even think about letting him start the 7th

From day 1 of ST, they wanted Engel over Leury in CF.
