August 20, 20187 yr Rainout tonight = Kopech Wednesday? *edit - bit late. Just need a reason for Kopech to move to Wed as I can't make tomorrow Edited August 21, 20187 yr by jenksycat

August 21, 20187 yr I think they brought up Kopech to get ready for 190-200 IP next year. I'd imagine they'd pitch him about 165-175 this season and then they'll shut him down.

August 21, 20187 yr I tell ya what has anybody just said yet that their reaction is pure unbridled enthusiasm for the Sox and a game for the first time since _____? Cause that's where I'm at headed into tmr.

Cause that's where I'm at headed into tmr. I am excited to see him and to see him achieve. For my two cents is that we can all ruminate over the business of baseball, but if you let it fuck up your enjoyment of the game of baseball, you are doing it wrong.

That to me is probably 90% of the anti-stathead "MIT and Harvard are types are ruining baseball" sentiment. It's always been a false dichotomy. You can enjoy tmr's start whether you agree with the service time decision or not. Edited August 21, 20187 yr by chitownsportsfan

August 21, 20187 yr I could see the cubs being legitimately interested in Shields seeing as how Chatwood walks the world. Shields isn't worth much and the cubs don't have much to offer, it's a good fit on paper.

Cause that's where I'm at headed into tmr. Other than every Opening Day ever, Moncada's debut is the only game in the last 6 or so years I can say that about. Maybe even TA's debut in 2016.

I usually buy online but thinking of buying at box office right before game time since still waiting on confirmation from couple friends. Will lower bowl seats be available? 4 hours ago, fathom said: Heard on radio couple thousand sold already since announcement and expectation is mid 20s Don't know if he was just guessing, but White Sox Dave seemed to think there would be a mid 30s attendance tomorrow. Based on the secondhand market and the official site availability, I'd guess about 28-30 if the weather is good enough.
August 21, 20187 yr Moncada's first game was last July 20th (against LAD)...Thursday night, attendance of almost 25,000.

Not sure where Dave got that from but he implied that it was info he was given from someone in the ticket office 35,000 would mean the stadium would have to be at 86% of max capacity (listed as 40,615). Maybe on a beautiful Friday or Saturday night with Kopech debuting, but I highly doubt on a potentially rainy Tuesday
August 21, 20187 yr Is he sticking with 78 or will his number change? I want to order my Chinese knockoff jersey!
