He didn’t even check the weather forecast before calling up Kopech. That’s baseball GM 101. Terrible decision... rebuild ruined. Sarcasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Kopech has an impressive, exciting start and the online Tribune sports articles include 3 articles on Daniel Murphy and 1 on Smith leaving Bears practice. I guess there are no opinions on if Kopech could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rough, I'll never get rid of my trib subscription because their metro reporters do great work, but while I would have been p'd off about this in early 00s, now I just feel sad. Paul Sullivan writes like 60% of ever paper. They are stretched so thin. The Athletic was well staffed last night, and I thought Jon Greenberg's column was perfect on it. https://theathletic.com/483971/2018/08/22/it-was-a-long-time-coming-michael-kopech-debuts-before-his-family-and-23000-or-so-new-friends/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check out more of that writer's work. I like his writing style and supporting it with GIFs. A 2020 starting rotation of Sale-Kopech-Rodon-Cease-Giolito/Lopez/Dunning/Hansen sounds like an opposing team's worst nightmare....2020 start of contention window re-opened!

Baker Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Nick Pollock also puts out a short daily podcast, “Pitcher List”. He sounds like he knows his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFirebird Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Great article there on Kopech. I was pretty disappointed at the game with the rain delay and subsequent removal of Kopech but understood why. Makes no sense to bring him back out. Crowd was great though...really into it and best crowd I have seen this year in my 8 games or so. I hope this is the start of something great. Give Eloy the Kris Bryant treatment of April 12th 2019 or whatever and let’s get this rebuild in motion on the MLB side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
