Give Kopech 1 more inning

His ceiling is somewhere about Verlander who of course won a Cy Young and MVP in the same year so yeah.  

Thanks Boston.

As someone noted earlier, wasn't me, but I will now: Hahn fucking aced that trade.

10k‘s through 4 is insane, bad lineup or not

Kopech gonna fuck around and take Cease's spot in the rotation sooner rather than later. 

Honestly with how bad the bullpen has been, once all the starters are healthy we might be better off getting 2 innings from him in relief every 3 days. Cause Cease and Keuchel have issues going more than 5 innings.

If he stops playing like shit then I will.  If he doesn't then I won't.  It's up to him.

Mistakes are going to happen whether someone is generally playing well or not. This prediction is silly.

Sign that Kopech kid to a contract and money is no object

I agree.  Been saying that for the last 20 years.  Good post 

Pitchers are throwing harder and harder, id like to see some studies on it

Kinda disappointed with today’s game unless Robert or Yermin hit one to the concourse

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Kopech has a chance to be the best pitcher in baseball if he stays healthy.

Not even close to hyperbole.  He’s always had a plus plus 4 seamer and slider, but his curveball & changeup are now becoming weapons as well.  If he can continue to harness his shit then the league will have no chance.

He’s swung and missed twice and currently has the 3rd best OPS on the team

It's pretty weird to me when supposed Sox fans seem to actively root against a young player.

The Texas catcher has successfully caught one of the first four pitches to Robert.

Realistically I'd offer him maybe like 80 guaranteed over 5 years with two or three team options.  Lock him up through 2028.  I doubt he'd take it but you never know.

Being right on a small message board is more important damn it!

Or to go out of their way to b**** about something on a day where we've played as well as we have all year.

They will, they are not good. Neither their offense nor their pitching 

idk man, they look like a .500 team if they can stay healthy.

No reason to pile unnecessary innings in a blowout.  He got good work in today. 

Definitely not unnecessary innings. But these have a serious purpose.

They'll have some reinforcements in the minors coming up too

I wonder how much longer before Kopech and Cease are swapped? 

A while because Kopech is still going to be on an innings limit and the Sox aren’t going to pull the plug on Cease as quickly as Soxtalk would since he’s actually shown signs of development vs. last year even if it hasn’t fully clicked just yet.

Collins getting some BABIP luck today

Collins crushed that one

Collins with 2 hits today. Out hitting the prized Grandal.

 

Collins already has as many hits in this game than Grandal has had in a week.

Seriously having a guy like Madrigal with the league as dead as it is is so nice. 

Little Zach can’t hit the ball outta the infield.
