May 21, 20178 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170521 Sox will have a 26th player on Friday. Might set up for a Lopez spot start. Charlotte- Lopez, 12:05 Birmingham- Guerrero and Adams, 12:35 Winston-Salem- Banks, 1:00 Kannapolis- Solorzano, 4:05
May 21, 20178 yr Would love to see a strong start from Lopez today. Would be nice if he forced his way into the major league rotation before the end of June.
May 21, 20178 yr Depends on the service time/Super Two dates... Edited May 21, 20178 yr by caulfield12
May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (bjm676 @ May 21, 2017 -> 10:36 AM) Probably will be Tyler Danish as 26th man. Just a hunch. Danish would make much more sense as the 26th man for a day than Lopez. Lopez shouldn't be called up until the Sox create space in the rotation for Lopez to pitch every fifth game. Good call on Danish.
May 21, 20178 yr Author 6 up, 6 down for Lopez. Danish currently scheduled to start Thursday, so yes, that could change.
May 21, 20178 yr Didn't quite realize how solid Lopez's overall numbers are. its funny when you follow these guys on a start to start basis, its some times hard to see the forest for the trees.
May 21, 20178 yr No strikeouts in first seven outs...that's weird. But even better, no walks. Called him out, so #8 in a row is strikeout swinging. Whole organization on fire after Robert deal I guess. Or not, two consecutive batters reach...ground ball and line drive singles. Gets Giavotella with strike three called. Just 38 pitches, pretty economical for Lopez. Edited May 21, 20178 yr by caulfield12
May 21, 20178 yr Author If the service time issues are out of the way, my hope is he starts Friday and then replaces Covey.
May 21, 20178 yr Lopez looking great through 6 1ER 1BB 5K @ 85 pitches. Hopefully he can get through the 7th.

May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 21, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) I don't think the super 2 stuff matters as much as people think. Especially for someone that isn't an uber prospect like Moncada, I agree.
May 21, 20178 yr Kanny facing old Sox draft pick Matt Ball, whose actually having a good year out of the pen. He's starting today.
May 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ May 21, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Especially for someone that isn't an uber prospect like Moncada, I agree. as the Correct. Super 2 importance rises with higher rated prospects like Bryant, Moncada.
