WTF is this sh!t? Why aren’t they playing Anderson? We need to lose for lottery odds 

Starting suspension...reduced from 6 to 5 games.

Kopech badly needs a change of scenery trade.

Confidence is shot.

Doesn't seem like he even wants to be out there.

8 of 9 batters scored going back to the last game. Stay hot pitchers!

Katz should be so embarrassed what he turned an elite arm into.

If he was really that elite he would have been able to overcome it.

 

Bill and Ted of San Dimas might as well be the team psychologists if they're going to turn him around.

Stone worrying Benetti with gambling talk lol.

They just have a magical way of getting their pitchers to lose velocity.  Happens up and down the organization.

Lol I know. Just a bad dad joke on how he’s more harm than good

It’s simply amazing how much the Sale returned has flopped

We basically gave him away for free and they got a World Series

The weird thing is not so long ago we had the hardest throwing bullpen in baseball...at least by average velo.

Love him or hate him, I think Don Cooper was a better pitching coach than Katz has ever been.

Not sure we would be that much better off with Devers and Benintendi and their current contract extensions.

The epic failure of the Chris Sale trade is the #1 reason the rebuild went to s%*#. 

Kopech is soft.

That's pretty much inarguable based solely on Loiaza Contreras 2005 bullpen and rotation.

Danks and Floyd.

Marte Jenks Santos Matty Thornton.

Sale and Q.

I was thinking same. This organization could screw up a butter sandwich 

There’s no way you can pencil him in to start next year

I see we are back to looking like we won't win another game.

There's no way Hahn will admit it was a failure.  Same reason we'll see Anderson and Moncada.

Stubbornness.

Actually surprised they didn't blow the rundown.

Wasn't that great because runner at second now.

 Hoping Kopech has command and keep this nearly as bad lineup limited to say 3-4 runs.

Morgan Freeman Voice:     “He did not.”

Kopech was shot after his first pitch.  Body language said it all.

I'll never forget one report on Kopech that appeared on Soxtalk. Probably a year or so after we got him, he was jacking around at the park, running up to the screen behind home plate and throwing as hard as he could so that the juggs gun could time him at 110 mph.  Just asking for TJS.  And laughing.  What an immature fucking dope.
