He's clearly rattled. 

This is the most amped I've ever seen Kopech in a game. Him pitching in the playoffs is going to be awesome.

love Kopech, fuck Hobert or however you spell that blind fucks name

That was absolutely a strike. Great pitch, didn't get the call. Got to hunker down and get the out still.

 

Man I’m late but fire the ump to the fuckin sun. Fuckin moron

I could do better than this umpire FFS

The 0-1 pitch on the steal was a strike and so was the 2-2. Such a load of bullshit!

excited to see how bummer lets up two straight infield singles here

Glad they sent kopech out there to walk guys instead of going to Bummer.  So predictable... but yeah, “trolling”.

Everyone but the ump knew that was a strike.  Love Kopech’s passion.

If we lose this game, it's gonna be because we couldn't get LeMahieu and Gardner out in front of Judge. 

Where can you see pitch locations?

He can’t lose his composure like that

there's still gameday for this game

Every time ump blows a call Sox pay the price!

Shit call, but Kopech isn’t going to help himself doing that. 

Good call to take Kopech out there

I can't stand inconsistent umpiring. Had such a wide zone the first 5 innings then starts squeezing. Pick a lane dude

Kopech has always been a hot head. Saw it in the minors. I'm actually shocked it took this long for him to get that fired up with the ump. He'll learn though showing the ump up. Some umps out there would've tossed him with him doing that.

Me too...I have no bias.

I agree but I think part of the reason his stuff was so electric tonight is because he was so amped. We've never seen him react like that before so I feel safe saying it'll be a 1 time thing.

True.  But that’s the most emotion he’s shown.

For the record, I would’ve brought in Liam here to finish this inning and the eighth. 

Gardner looks like Roark Jr from Sin City
