May 4, 20223 yr Reynaldo Lopez 3-0 now. The Vulture. Six saves by Hendriks now. Thank god it's over and nobody's injured but Bummer's bruised knee from banging into the wall. Bullpen more or less did its job. Shocking 8th inning appearance by Matt "Jose" Foster actually worked out. Liam looking much better than 7-10 days ago. One less thing to be concerned about moving forward. 3 of 4 sounds a heckuva lot better than losing 11 out of 15. Still 4.5 games back of the Twins. Need to stay roughly within 7 games of the Twins by the end of May.

May 4, 20223 yr Kopech needs to control his emotions better. He is made of glass, hence why they wont let him go long. Very unprofessional.

Big Kopech guy but I agree that was a bad look. Don’t mind some fire, but punching the bat rack with your pitching hand while up 3-0 is just dumb and kind of selfish.

The messed up thing is that he broke his hand before when he was with the Red Sox punching a teammate. He should know better. Edited May 4, 20223 yr by chw42

Yeah, I loved the fire in the moment and I love that he cares that much but losing him would hurt us so badly. Luckily nothing came of it, and hopefully he uses it as fuel to keep improving.
May 4, 20223 yr This is the first time I've had the luxury of watching Kopech this year. 94-96 Kopech is nasty.

One of many reasons W/L is sort of a useless metric for SP. of course Kopech deserves the W over Lopez.

Kopech doesnt get it because he didnt go 5, but RL does because he pitched the fifth. It makes no sense

It just seems ridiculous when a SP can get a loss for pitching one terrible innings that sets you on the way to a loss but can't get a win for pitching 4 scorless innings! Still I suppose all rules don't have to make sense.
