August 16, 20187 yr J-Rod also stole 2 more bags. He stole 2 last night as well. He now has 16 SB to 2 CS. Christofer Melendez's numbers are up big time since the Sox picked him up when the Astros released him. This is his 4th season in the DSL, but his K/9 has spiked from 8.23 in his 3 seasons combined, to 11.76 this season. That's like a 40% increase. And his BB/9 has dropped from 5.65 to 3.30. The Sox have also stretched him out to a starter, when he was entirely a reliever with the Astros. He's 20 years old, so I hope he comes stateside next year.
August 16, 20187 yr Weird, I could've sworn when I looked at today's pitching matchups yesterday Cease was supposed to pitch today, but now he is slated for tomorrow. Either I saw it wrong or they pushed him back a day for some reason.

August 16, 20187 yr I'm glad Diaz is alright. Missed what 5 straight games after that HBP? Glad to see him in the lineup.
August 16, 20187 yr Tyler Ivey is a very good pitching prospect so this will be a nice challenge for W-S hitters. Madrigal just struck out. Edited August 16, 20187 yr by SoxAce
August 16, 20187 yr Madrigal is in danger of striking out twice in a game for the 2nd time in his life, and not since his sophomore year in HS.
August 16, 20187 yr Kopech just struck out the side EASILY in the 1st. Threw maybe 11 pitches, 10 for strikes. 1st K - Curveball at the shoetops 2nd K - 95 MPH fastball down the middle 3rd K - Curveball bounced in the dirt
August 16, 20187 yr https://mobile.twitter.com/KnightsBaseball/status/1029752223646011393 Kopech starts April 4th and 9th in Charlotte. They fly to Indy, the Sox announce he and Eloy are coming up on the 11th. Eloy makes his debut on the 12th, and Kopech on the 14th. Edited August 16, 20187 yr by flavum
August 16, 20187 yr Leadoff hitter in the 2nd bunted on Kopech, and Kopech got pissed off, faked like he was going to launch the ball in to the stands. It's not like he broke up the no-hitter with a bunt single in the 7th inning. It was only the 2nd, so I'm not sure why Kopech was so mad.
August 16, 20187 yr With Kopech’s stuff I wonder why he would make a stupid reaction like he just did after the guy bunted for a hit?
August 16, 20187 yr Kopech gives up a run on an RBI double to LF. Eloy relayed it back in, and they nailed the trail runner at home easily. 1-0 Bats
August 16, 20187 yr Kopech just missed a strike 3 call to end the inning. It was probably a ball, but very close. Then Zavala made a tremendous backhanded pick on a curveball in the dirt. Kopech strikes him out looking on a 96 MPH fastball to end the AB. 2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K

The incident with the teammate included. One of the "boxes to check" for him at the beginning of the season was to keep his composure on the mound. I would exploit it too if I was the other team.

August 16, 20187 yr Kopech allows 1 runner to reach in the 3rd via an error on Trayce, but then Zavala throws him out trying to steal 2nd. Kopech struck out the other 2 guys, one on a slider, the other on a fastball. 3 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K. The only non-strikeout outs have occurred on the bases.
August 16, 20187 yr Jesus, Kopech. O'Grady, the guy who bunted on Kopech in the 2nd inning and pissed him off, gets DRILLED with a 99 MPH fastball to his ass in his next AB. The benches clear, Kopech is restrained by Rondon. Ugh.
