I know I've said this a lot, but once he figures out how to elevate the ball with 2 strikes without losing velocity, his strike out rate is going to skyrocket again. Well qualify that the Charlotte gun is slow next time to not incite panic attacks lol. If you see the words "Kopech" and "91 mph fastball" in the same sentence you're risking the lives of older diehards as someone is liable to have a heart attack.

June 21, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: You mean like this Mr. Parkman Yeah, I was wondering if you were sure or if it was wishful thinking. Was leaning toward the latter. Edited June 21, 20187 yr by Jack Parkman

Obviously he'll have to continue to hit, but as long as he continues to go 2-4 every night, he's a name worth following. You can count on Southsider to micro analyze everything and be smug/miserable while doing so

June 21, 20187 yr Just now, Jack Parkman said: I hope he doesn't have the same gradual velocity loss as Giolito. This seems eerily similar. It was a gradual drop to where he is now with Giolito. When Gio came up with the Nats, he was topping out at 96, and it was all downhill from there. This is very concerning. He is also getting wild and walking everyone. It seems like Giolito all over again. That would royally suck. Cross your fingers that it doesn't happen to Cease too as he moves up the ladder. Jesus dude...calm down.

Madrigal, Steele, Stiever, and Bilous are the ones I'm keeping the closest watch on, the first two guys being obvious. I actually like Steiver more than Pilkington.

June 21, 20187 yr Luis Mieses has a double and a triple last night to add to his homer in game one. camilo Quintero has like 100 hits so far. At 21 nice to see.
