I think they must have told him he's getting stretched out.  not going max effort on all his fastballs.

Wasted a big opportunity, need the bullpen to step up...Kopech got this

He's also ice cold right now, regardless of who he faces, speaking of 'chill'.

He’s the exact opposite of ice cold right now against RHP, he’s literally put up a 120 wRC or better in each of the last four weeks.

let kopech have the 8th too.

Fuck, was he facing a lefty there too? Thought it was a righty. I must be baked.

Yeah, and that part too. Moreso just a bad situation, with both catchers in the lineup IMO. Zack isn't Yas, not quite the same level of hitter to warrant being DH.

I hate stone harping on the pen thing. He needs innings

Which would have been awesome, had he been facing a righty.

If you pull Collins, Mendick or Tim is your backup. Collins can hit, but Grandal should be the only C you DH.

 

Tim actually getting an inning at catcher would be one of the greatest moments in Soxtalk history

Which is the reason he shouldn’t have been batting there, but not because he’s ice cold.

I also think he's just more valuable for this years team going multiple innings at a time rather than being able to go consecutive days 1 inning at a time.

Have a game Zavala

I am getting a bad feeling.

he's lost it, fuck.

Kopech not at his best

god damnit.

How was that not a strike?

Wtf ump!?

he's not even close, just walk cruz.

Heuer must be dead

Great. So Cruz hits because the elusive 3rd out evades us.
