It can be done. Just average around 10 pitches an inning for next 3 .

He would need some pretty low pitch counts the next few innings to go 8.

Is that like a Trout or Catfish offense ?

If the Sox win only 2.5 behind Detroit. Hard to root for tanking now when 4/5 of the starting rotation is now Rodon, Kopech Giolito and Lopez. Hell gotta root for Covey to also do well.

Matty Ice with the In n' Out special Double -double.

ERA officially under 6.00 now.

Just for fun I'll predict an Avi Garcia 450 foot HR to lead off next inning.

If you say so . Cordell's just another guy as far as I'm concerned . He'll be in the same shoes as LaMarre in 2 years with another organization.

Been about a .270 hitter 36 hits 7 doubles 3 triples 3 HRs Cordell , Lamarre not much difference to make a stink over.

Jinx Mantook HR

Whats the fuss about ? Why so serious . Who gives a shit sherlock ?

The rare Kev-Bomb !

Isn't Cordell in Charlotte ? That would explain it.

Anderson top of 1st lead off walk then Rondon doubles and gets thrown out at third. 1-0 Sox . Tigers coming to bat against Bigfoot.

This is it !

I don't need no stinkin' charts to tell me there's a learning curve young pitcher go through.

Eh These things fluctuate within any given time frame when pitchers have there bad streaks in the process of learning. For the last 2 years Kopech has had stretches of ugliness in the minors . I can practically guarantee Kopech will look like crap too over some 5 or 6 starts in a row next year in May and/ or June.

Minaya did the job though. He hasn't been terrible for the Sox . Much better lately ERA under 4 now. When he's not walking everyone he been good. Pretty high K per nine , good hits per 9, great HR per 9, real bad walks per 9.

The Sox will let Kopech go around 30 innings past his previous high unless they think he is showing obvious signs of fatigue or has more soreness than usual. That's building innings and arm strength.

I've been thinking of posting something about him missing lately too. I hope the guy is ok .

Internet tough guy ? I didn't say much except keep reading. I thought you may have been talking to anyone who was still reading the thread since it was after the game was over that you asked the question. My bad if you are so sensitive . Excuse me for informing you where you could find what you missed. Next time I will let others help you.

Yes you did, especially if you had just continued reading the thread after the post you quoted.

What does FG know they say Cease is a reliever

Probably so but terrible timing if you are trying to trade the guy. Vieira was rested . He couldn't have done much worse then Shields for the 1.2 innings too long he was left in.

They were gaining too much ground on the Tigers lately . Don't wanna pass them up.
