Ump pissed Kopech off with a couple of horrible calls, so he ramped it up with a filthy 98mph ???

Definitely his best results of the season despite some bad breaking pitches early on. 

key as a starter which he's learning is you'll have some innings go sideways stuff and control wise, got to limit the damage and find it the next.

Correct. And one poster here enjoyed seeing it. That's basically what a troll does. 

 

Who enjoyed it?

Another quality outing. Now how about a couple runs and put some distance on this one.

Hell of a final five innings for Kopech.

The first wasn't that bad. 

First Joe Kelly outing coming up...

Yeah he got fucked by Sheets making that error. 

The ump score cards of this game is gonna heavily favor Cleveland. Plesac is getting the calls on the corners and Kopech has to throw it right down the middle to get calls.

It was so impressive that he fixed his command during the start. Compare that to what happened to Cease early in his starting career when the command wasn't there.

Grandal said ALOT to the ump after that AB.

Kopech against the Yankees will at least be interesting.

Probably cost him an extra inning. But without it, Sheets probably doesn't homer in the 1st. 

Is there a better top 4 in MLB than the WS when fully healthy? I don’t see one. Lynn/Gio/Cease/Kopech is late 90s Braves filthy.

Yeah but still not an earned run...down to a 0.93 ERA.

LFG!

Joe Kelly warming.

That should be it for Sheets tonight. Get Engel in RF for next inning.

huh thought that ball was farther down towards the line. hung up there for kwan.

 

Against a more patient lineup plesac is out of this game two innings ago.

Welcome back

Pollock’s swings are so ugly. He doesn’t even look close to figuring it out.

The Tigers get shut out by the A's and the Royals lost to Baltimore. Both of them are looking really bad here early in the season.

Pollock got a hanging change up and was way too out in front of it. 

Even when Pollack fouls off pitches they don’t do much
