    Still ugly but this season only matters for development.  I will be more excited for this next year: Giolito Cease Kopech Lopez ???

  • Last year Kopech came up when he went thru struggles then was dealing.  Not sure I have seen Cease straighten back out.  If he is bad, I hope it doesn't hurt his confidence.  I do not disagree he is p

Based on stubhub prices for game 2, that game is already a hot ticket. It might be close to a sell out already

Will he stay up?

Ugh.  I am going to the game on Tuesday.  Still excited for the young man.  He’s a hard worker and will learn from his mistakes so even if they lose, at least progress on the rebuild is being made.

I kind of predicted this in another thread, but it makes sense. It gives him his first few starts against Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, New York (Mets), and then Detroit again. Ease him in. I like it

 

Exciting, but imo, too soon.

I would've waited until next June. 

Good job Sox,a little overdue but get this kid Major league innings to build towards 2020

For those who thought that Cease shouldn't be brought up because of his 4.66 ERA in AAA: 

Minnesota's starter today is making his MLB debut after 14 starts this year in AAA where his ERA was 5.71!!!.

Cease could've been bored, could've felt pressure, could've been dealing with a horseshit catcher, and/or definitely dealing with a hitters park in Charlotte. Either way he's been extremely unlucky at AAA. He's ready, and the Sox have thought he was ready since March.

Or have him play his whole career in Charlotte?  He is from the South after all.

 I didn't see him pitch in Triple A.  He also could have been working on certain things . so who knows I agree with you..

Would have been smart to say he may start wedbesday or Thursday to sell tickets. 

Cool beans

Hard to argue that Hahn stuck to his plan not to allow MLB needs to affect Cease's timeline

I don't like it. 

Last year Kopech came up when he went thru struggles then was dealing.  Not sure I have seen Cease straighten back out.  If he is bad, I hope it doesn't hurt his confidence.  I do not disagree he is probably the best option right now.  I wouldn't mind Kubat at some point.  Relatively soft tossing lefties have had success before.

I've had tickets to that game for weeks!!!

Life is great!!!!
