Sure sounds like he's ready for some changes.

Well if he does get canned then that guy is gonna seem credible.

I honestly wish they were getting no hit. Maybe then Menechino's job might be on the line.

Fatigue?

Kopech's stuff just went down the drain this inning.

If we lose today you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow with Giolito on the mound. At this point if we give up 3 runs in a game the offense isn't gonna put up enough to win a game.

Well scoring 4 runs seems impossible for this team...

Usually Kopech has these types of innings in the first and not the 3rd.

He's a poor man's Eloy.

His slider has very little horizontal movement this year. In the last game he was getting on average just 3 inches of horizontal break on it. I'm not sure you can even call it a slider when it moves that little horizontally. It's honestly more of a cutter. He had way better movement on his slider last year. They might have tried tinkering with his slider this year cause they were suspicious that he was tipping the pitch. And it looks like he was. There was a 2 inch difference between his average slider release point vs. fastball release point. Most guys on the Sox have about a 1 inch difference between their release points for different pitches, some even less. Liam has almost no difference between his slider and fastball release point, which is probably how he gets so many guys to swing at his sliders way out of the zone. The problem with the tinkering is that there is still about the same difference in release point as last year, but now the shape of the pitch is worse. It's crazy to me that Katz has gotten Cease to throw what is probably the best slider in the Majors this year, but Kopech's slider has heavily regressed.

Are they freeing up a roster spot for JBJ or Didi Gregorious?

Franmil Reyes just got DFA'd.

Yeah I'd say AA is pretty good at trade deadlines.

Chapman could literally do no wrong against us and he pulls that against the Twins...

Jansen pulled a Seby there. Not a good throw but you gotta catch that.

Jays implode on defense.

That one is on Vlad. That's a catchable ball. Not a easy play for Jansen.

Hahaha the Jays are really trying to give this away

Their depth is now so good they just DFA'd Duffey. Who was probably their 3rd or 4th best reliever before the trade deadline.

Merrifield set their inning up to fail when he couldn't move the runner over to 3B. It also allowed the Twins to just pitch around Vladdy.

Jays using their closer in a non save situation.

He was thinking he was gonna get a slider. That's how the Hernandez AB went.

They got fastballs in those last 2 ABs and couldn't put anything in play.

Hernandez Ks.

Are the Twins not gonna walk Vladdy?
