May 12, 20187 yr Jason Coats making life hard on Kopech. 2 rbi’s now, first homer allowed on the year to Coats as well. Almost had him for strike three. Still not out of it. 3 walks (total), bases loaded with just one out. 4 walks last time out. Having a much harder time second time through the lineup. Grand slam. Officially a complete disaster today for all aspects of the White Sox. Edited May 12, 20187 yr by caulfield12
May 12, 20187 yr Wow, Kopech just gave up a grand slam. What a disasterous inning for him. Edited May 12, 20187 yr by Chicago White Sox
May 12, 20187 yr Well today totally sucks. Kopech isn't close to being ready. A scout friend of mine actually said his stuff looked better last year.
May 12, 20187 yr Casali grand slam just the second homer allowed by Kopech all season long. Alvarez can’t corral a chopper up the middle. Fourth hit of the inning. Bullpen up, Danish. Stolen base. Ironic that it’s Coats tonight, Bourjos was big part of last night’s game.

Fathom, I got a ton of respect for you as a poster, but you sure have a unique way of finding the absolute worst possible outlook on everything ?
May 12, 20187 yr This is all Lilian’s fault for saying we weren’t going to need pitching from outside the organization...

May 12, 20187 yr Basabe with two more K’s. Hopefully he can make some adjustments and get his K rate moving back in the right direction.

Since then he is making Eloy look like a chump His start was definitely ugly, but he’s been on fire these last few weeks. Not just the power but also a much better K rate to go along with an always elite BB rate.
May 12, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, fathom said: I feel like it was around this time last year where Kopech slumped after big start Close! I looked this up cause I was curious - in May of last year, he had a 2.31 ERA. But in June, his ERA was 6.95 over 5 starts, he pitched 22 innings and walked 18 while striking out just 22.

Is anyone watching the game? Is Kopech throwing a lot of heat, or is he working on stuff? I only saw the fourth and his command was simply off. Primarily fastballs from what I could tell, but he threw some off-speed stuff as well. Wasn’t working on anything specific though.
May 12, 20187 yr Just now, Anderdale said: Collins is hitting again so let's start complaining about his defense more. Unfortunately, reading from “experts” neither Collins nor Zavala are going to be full time catchers in the bigs. My hope is Collins can actually improve behind the plate.

They aren’t winning anything next year. Let them get their feet wet then, and have an extra year of control when they are going to need it.
May 12, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, Tony said: Similar to Fulmer, I want the Sox exhausting every option possible to get both guys at catcher for as long as possible, until you HAVE to move them to a different position. 6 minutes ago, flavum said: Unfortunately, reading from “experts” neither Collins nor Zavala are going to be full time catchers in the bigs. My hope is Collins can actually improve behind the plate. So where does Collins project if he doesn't stick behind the plate? First base? DH? He was a huge reach at number 10 overall if he can't stick behind the plate.

Yep. That's what I was saying in the Eloy thread. If Kopech improves his control and Eloy shows he can hit AAA then bring them up. But at this point, they are young enough to leave down in the minors this year if need be.
