Most electric pitching debut I've ever seen with Strasburg's.  Here's hoping for something special.

Can't wait to see the Kopech sucks posts after he has a bad start......?

I am so giddy with excitement

Bad start? They will be out in force after his first walk and bad inning.

This guy sucks, it had to be KW that demanded him in the trade. ?

I will be there tonight!

I'll be there. Guessing one of the following:

 

A) 2 IP, 6 ER, 6 H, 2 SO, 4 BB

B) 6 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 9 SO, 3 BB

5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K

Sox win 4-2 and Kopech gets his first major league W

Also, will be fun to see Berrios pitch live. I believe he has a complete game against us this year, as well as a 7 shutout inning start, as well as a 6 inning/4 run start. 

Here are some handy links to prep yourself, get to know Kopech a little better:

Happy Kopech Day!

 

 

I had a dream about his start last night. He retired the side in order in the first, albeit without any strikeouts. However, I wasn't watching the game live, and I tried to cheat by just looking at the box score and seeing his final outcome. Alas, he wasn't there (in the box score).

It probably means he gets scratched right before game time and needs TJS. See you in 2020.

Finally got someone to go with me.I have tons of Sox fan friends but they are all busy or working tonight! So my girlfriends dad is coming with me. He's a Cubs fan, but it's all good at least I got someone.

never gone to a game by yourself? I do, at least once a year.

Moderate chance of rain scheduled to be in the area throughout the game. Ugh.

Might be a light shower early in the game. Nothing that should scare people from going. 

Forecast has been worsening. Earlier this morning, it was at 30-35% for 7-9 PM, now it's at 40-50%

I haven't. I may have considered it because of how special this game is, but man tailgating by yourself is boring. I did do that one while I was waiting for some people to show up.

yeah, the tailgating part would be. On days I go by myself, it's to one of the bars to hang out instead of the tailgate.

You're trying to tailgate? I'm going straight from work and will get there around 5:05/5:10 and my friends won't get there until around 6. I plan on grabbing a drink in the Bar & Grill until they get there.

I usually avoid weeknight games due to having to go straight from work and shit train schedules at night (they run every hour or hour and a half and make every Beverly stop which means it's an hour ride for me) but I only go if a friend meets me from the suburbs with his car. Plus his company gave him free tickets for this game so I can't complain.

If weather isn't an issue, yeah. A couple brews and some burgers on the mini-grill.

Damn I need to tailgate another game this year. I love tailgating. I went to a game earlier this year strictly to tailgate lol was drunk by the first inning of a game the Astros were up 8-0 in the second in.

So what's the corresponding roster move?

Whoever the worst reliever is with options gets sent down and Covey goes to the pen.

My guess - Leury DL.  Then tomorrow a Gomez DFA or Vieria option with Rondon or Tilson coming up.
