I know that isn’t the plan tho. He’s in this rotation next year. He has to be. Just sort of curious management of him all season. He’s not ready to throw 3-4 innings right now tho so im mostly indifferent about tomorrow’s start. But this 1 10 pitch inning BS needs to stop. He needs at LEAST 6-7 full blown regular season starts the rest of the way. Innings need to climb. 

You have to wonder if his hamstring is 100%

I'm not one to usually give a shit of media coverage but the Sox won a series of the 2 best teams in the AL with a dominant pitching performance and the top headline on MLB.com is of that stupid foul ball in the Mets game. No sign of the Sox or Rodon anywhere on the front page. Clown shit

 

Of course now the headline is up on the sidebar but this series should be the center of MLB right now

Oh I know they’ll move to the rotation next year, but if they don’t get him some innings he won’t last the full and won’t be able to contribute much come October.

Right, I was thinking his limited workload right now is due to his hamstring injury.  It seems to have change their immediate plans with him.  He was pitching more than one inning before the injury.  

Hopefully he is fine, and they are just bringing him back slowly and still have plans to start ramping him up soon.

Don't worry about it. Many in the media still don't know the White Sox won in 2005. The media, starting with idiot Chuck Garfien, doesn't matter. It's nice to cheer for a contender after the drought of the last decade.

Astro be worried Sox pitching.

Good point. I can give them the benefit of the doubt... but really want him starting when he physically can

Scott Boras is a very talented, intelligent and handsome man....just in case he follows here....you know Rodon wants to be here plus who wants the hastle of free agency...take the easy extension $$.

Would sign him tomorrow but Boras is likely to hold out until March and show he can get max value. Just the way he is.

I don't understand the rational behind turning Kopech into a 1 inning reliever at all.

Thank you!  I was coming to post this.

I thought the plan was to give him 3-4 innings and stretch him out for September?

Maybe he is the second pitcher after Lopez in the game tomorrow?

They wouldn't bring him in down by 5 runs.

Rodon is just stupid this year, crazy to see this version of him.

 

I wish he showed glimpses of this between the injuries.  They might've had him on a friendly extension already.

If Carlos signs an extension/qualifying offer, they should use Kopech in a similar way except adding a start every 10 days or so keeping his innings down and everyone else fresh for the long haul.
