Wait so that’s his 4 seamer running inside like that right? Does he ever throw a 2 seamer?

Come on ump

I should have gone with the most likely scenario

Yeah same I have about 1.5 tops and this crap is eating into it big time

Sorry guys, was doing that on my phone plus don't know actual dates of the world.

Are they prominent people? I mean, you could look up the twitter conversation on an upcoming hurricane and there will be people saying weird/offensive/crazy stuff.

This was a much more succinct and better way of saying what I tried to say below.

See I think the act of him apologizing is important. Let's keep this in perspective: Kopech isn't losing his job, he's not losing his money, he's not being suspended. He's had to answer to stupid and immature public writings when he was younger, that he has since deleted and now apologized for. This twitter stuff is new territory, and (having been on this site since a teenager) I guarantee you could find a previous post of mine that would be incredibly disappointing or horrifying to me now. This is a good thing and it's an opportunity for teenagers, who struggle with the ability to comprehend the public-nature of their communications now and the same toxic in-crowd behavior that makes us sick to our stomach when we our older, to see this play out and think about how the way they talk sounds when presented outside their friends group. And the way this is being held over him by some probably teenagers should hopefully be a learning experience for them.

Comas has been pretty unheralded. Mieses (his signing buddy) had a better start with power but has fallen off. Comas keeps chugging. Low BBs but really nice k rate and hitting .320 over 147 ABs. 18 years old, he’s a player hopefully we’ll hear more about in instructionals.

The Fegan bump!

Flip side is wouldn't it be easier for you to accept if you are Eloy?

That's awesome. I was in front of the bullpen for Rodon's first appearance. He was all over the place and then proceeded to have a terrible inning. Very anti-climactic compared to Kopechs

But also I just want to say that I love Eloy and am so pumped. You know that feeling we had when thomas or magglio was up in a big situation and you knew the pitcher was more scared than we were of the pitcher? I miss that.

I wouldn't have cared too much had they done it a month ago. Doing it now? Would be an indicator of a management team again flying by the seat of its pants and not executing based on a plan.

This is too flip of an analogy, but imagine being the owner of the white sox and being able to go downstairs and hear the scouting reports and decisions being made by the team and instead getting all of your information from like Harold Reynolds (and then demanding the team adjust based off of that analysis).

It has felt like one of the things that increases in birmingham negatively (and has been an indicator of struggles in charlotte) is walks, as they face better hitters. That hasn't happened. Feels like the only thing that will hold Cease back is endurance building.

I'm not sure why you are saying "doesn't get it". I do get the thinking, I don't find it convincing. Bummer and Frare can force their way onto the team by dominating AAA. We can find room because our bullpen is very bad now! I hope Frare will be dominant, but he has 10 innings in AAA. I see no reason to make big league spots for those guys, we can certainly make a bunch of 40 room at the end of the season cutting more fat. Do any of you believe the sox aren't going to sign a vet bullpen arm in the offseason?

Yeah, I get it. But to be quite honest I'd value Avilan in the pen next year more than the guy they acquired. This was the most valuable fat they had and they got a soon to be 23 year old starting pitcher in high-a with fringe stuff. It's not a big deal, but I just don't see a reason to align with GM think on this and be like " oh thank god we saved jerry reinsdorf 300k! PHEee-EWWW"

Are you telling me the only player blocking younger pitchers on this roster was luis avilan?

It's crazy how the slow drip allows folks to move the goal posts. I remember when the very idea that Russia was behind the hacking of dnc and podesta emails was sour grapes of dems. Now anything short of the president himself ordering the hacking is beside the point. I also remember when it was expected that the president not bring into the executive branch people that have committed crimes, and especially concerning when they were happening while in office. And when those activities benefited the president him/herself? It would be a very big deal! Now, again, unless the president personally took funds and put them in a burlap sack to pay off to another lawyer, it is apparently very tiresome for "the electorate" to have to hear about. I get that it can be tiresome to constantly have to deal with the steady stream misdeeds of the trump administration, from very minor to very severe. But the idea that pointing out the misdeeds is something more punishable than this onslaught of daily corruption is really a tough sell to me. It's probably an extension of the idea that the only punishment can happen through elections, and any criminal actions performed by government officials should just be decided by them being voted out or voted in.
