I'd like someone to ask Tony after the game about Kopech's leg, and to get a bit more explanation from Hahn tomorrow during his typical "return to home" press Q & A he has.

My primary questions are to get a better explanation in terms of the impact of the pain / discomfort / loss of traction or strength in Kopech's leg while he "pitches through it". A follow-up is what is Katz and the training staff doing to monitor him in game, and what precautions are they taking in terms of what they are watching for to pull him if they see any issues with changed mechanics or discomfort.

Maybe. Think of this as him getting a feel back for his stuff while pitching with a sore knee. He may discover he can let it rip a little more next time.

Yeah, I'm not going to overreact to an outing a week after having to leave a game in the first inning.

Well that Tucker fly out evens out one of those cheap homers. 

I missed the 2nd homer....another cheapy??

I have definitely heard one of the announcers hock at least 2 loogies in this broadcast

It was a bit too high to go out in most stadiums. Would it Dong said it's only a homer in 4 of 30 stadiums. 

Jake really hasn't looked right since the wrist injury.

Should be the last we see of Big Energy but Mendick will go down until the next soft tissue issue.

This team has zero power

The team has not been able to take advantage of the Crawford boxes.  The Astros are peppering those boxes and killing us with homers. Sox have the fourth lowest homer count in the majors.

Announcers said both HRs would have only been so in Houston

Story of 2022 Sox. Even the “non serious” injuries end up causing a setback.

I'm muted...why do they keep showing Verlander?

Reece is never going to be a good hitter, but he doesn't give away a lot of at bats.

He's going to sign a jersey for the kid who caught the first home run ball. Just leave it muted and don't ask questions.

damn they almost errored that

oh heres BIG ENERGY, better luck next inning

Probably wants something from Kate Upton instead.

Wow.....miss a little miss alot...why are they letting him stay on the bench?  Poor guy.  I hope Kate makes him feel better.

Booooring

The Astros own broadcasts aren't as Homer as this one.

You are right. Has he even had a hit?

This team treats any injury as top secret. Fans will know nothing

If you want to know why unmute it damn it .

Kid who caught the 1st HR of Manaiwhoever career wanted a JV jersey . Astros said no . Then a Gurriel jersey again Astros said no. They settled on something else then it turns out Verlander said he would sign a jersey for the kid.

And they were promoting a piece going up on YouTube where I think Buster interviews him

It's been pro Houston from the very start.  ESPN seems like that in most sports broadcasts.  I wish the sox would never play on this network again.
