The most K's for a White Sox pitcher making his major league debut is nine. Can Kopech do it? Let's hear everyone's predictions on IP/ER/H/BB/K

We are also in an era that values 1b/DH types less then ever historically. If you can't play a skill position, you get dinged for it.

Great outing by Lucas. Real nice work to close out the 6th. The 2 extra ERs will obscure what was another good outing.

That's what happens when you get four outs. If Leury doesn't get hurt, he makes that catch and the inning is over with one run. Instead the ball is missed, turned into a double, and then has to wait around for Garcia to come off of the field, and it costs him two runs.

Yep, he blew a hammy.

i think I think Leury is hurt.

I am excited to see him and to see him achieve. For my two cents is that we can all ruminate over the business of baseball, but if you let it fuck up your enjoyment of the game of baseball, you are doing it wrong.

I hope it is true, but a cat personality on Twitter?

Without knowing the entirety of MiLB prospects, the White Sox have to be able to make a case for having the best collection of OF prospects in all of baseball.

Yeah, not that Micker is supposed to be bad or anything, but Rutherford is supposed to be a guy who can play CF at the major league level defensively, with even a pretty good arm.

Depends on which part. Adolfo has a cannon for an arm, but I would guess Rutherford has him beat everywhere else (range, reads, speed, etc)

Kopech has a power pitchers body. Chris Sale is a freak of nature.

You are in my age bracket. Eat it and Fat were my first exposures to Weird Al music, and I have been hooked ever since.

Mentioned him earlier, but yes. Honestly I think there are maybe two other people in the discussion from my lifetime. Eloy Jimenez is the #3 rated prospect in all of baseball and the top rated OF prospect as of today. Harold Baines was the #1 draft pick overall in 1977 (the only time in team history picking at #1) and destroyed all levels of the minors in 2.5 years before hitting the majors, and never really quitting until he was about 40. Joe Borchard owned the biggest signing bonus in White Sox history for 15 years until Carlos Rodon came along, and then ranked as high as #16 prospect (just for the record, #1 that year was Corey Patterson, #2 was Hee Sop Choi) in all of baseball and hit at all levels of the minors before the hole in his bat showed up at the major league level.

Even if this was a complete lie, this is what Rick Hahn should and would say to the press and fans.

A big thumbs up for the Hamilton T-shirt.

I saw his tour in 2002. Man was that an incredible show. I think it was the Back in the US tour.

CSN has been running a good interview by Chuck Garfien talking about a lot of the same stuff. Crazy how lucky this guy is.
