2-8, 5.45 ERA for prized player Michael Kopech.And........boom goes the dynamite. 4-1 into the 7th, BTW. I can't wait until Eloy and Kopech are playing in ..........well, anywhere else.Mental Midget doesn't begin to cover it. Wait, can we still say that? Mental 'short person'.Oh, couldn't set this one up any better.What a heckuva bullpen this team has.Surprise!Wait, what?Good start.Lenyn Sosa, your soon to be team leader in BA.And yeah, that is what I get for assumption on the MILB stats, assuming PA was the first stat. So 78 K's in 184 PAs. That is still WELL over 200 K's in a normal season, in Rookie/A ball. That'd be new MLB record-esque against better competition. Hopefully he continues to improve, he clearly is trending up lately. I also feel pretty safe in saying his absurd .529 BABIP won't be a normal thing, either.I definitely think he is improving, but lets not sit here and get all googly eyed at the power, without at least admitting that there is still a LOT of work to be done on the free swinging.I mean.....78 K's in 158 ABs. You're right, he isn't striking out 50% of the time, it is only 49.4%. And no, it hasn't gotten better in A ball, it has gotten worse.Lenyn Sosa currently with the 2nd highest BA on the team. And to think, some wanted him jettisoned off forever, because he hadn't taken advantage of his whopping career 200 ABs coming into 2024.Lord, RIP Korey Lee's playing time.OK brother...if you give up RBI hits to BOTH Maldonado AND Benintendi, go ahead and announce your retirement.Hey now....he has 6 RBI ALREADY this season....Maldonado delivers on his 11th hit of the season. It is July 3rd....Holy hell...Its ok, I'm sure Maldonado will get the job done here....Well, it is only fair, for all of the dogging on AV for April-May, let's not let his last 30 days go unnoticed:And Beni hitting 2nd, what a stud.Goodness, I didn't even look at that graphic close enough....how in the world was pitch 3 AND 4 a ball? I didn't watch the game, admittedly, only followed on Gameday.Maybe don't groove it down the middle, to the one of the Naylor boys, who have made the Sox their whipping boy almost every time they are at the plate? Maybe that was a bigger issue?Piped down the middle, to the biggest chump on the Cleveland team. Bravo, Kopech.
