I would hope he’d corrected the problem by the pirates start - sure seemed like he had.

Stealing signs is as old as this game… if we weren’t using technology, no asterisk needed.

Was he tipping his pitches? “It’s a possibility,” Kopech said. “If it wasn’t necessarily a tip, there was something I was doing different, breaking ball to fastball. Just by the body language of the hitters, they were on everything. I have enough speed difference to throw guys off a little bit. The fact they were on everything, they saw something. Whether it was a tip or just me presenting pitches differently, they put good swings on it and it showed.” From the Athletic. It’s funny because the second part of the last sentence he makes “or just me presenting pitches differently”… That’s a good definition of tipping. So he basically says, “whether it was a tip or a tip, they put good swings on it…” ?

Any word from the pundits or in interviews from staff post game? I’ve been super busy this week and haven’t been able to geek out in my usual ways.

Tipping?

Which games will they win and which will they lose? Since you have a crystal ball, I’m gonna utilize it to make a fortune.

Certainly looked the most assured of himself I’ve ever seen… him calling his own game was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in baseball… ever.

Antipoop.

Right… thank goodness.

Is Valdez that annoying “Rock the Baby” wind up guy? Or is thh huh at Uriguidy…

f*** the Assblows.

I only Iike ænima’s.

It’s hysterical… when I coined him “He Whom Shall Not Be Named” - I hadn’t read or seen any HP books or movies. Now I’m in book 6 with hi8is Jr.

?

Ding ding ding…

I’ll take him if it means Garcia is shown the DFA door.

What’s new?

What you talkin bout wegner?

Tell that to the judge who wrung me up without any evidence being presented during my divorce, please.

Seems like they’ve been giving him the most rope of my memory is correct.

Fantastic.

Of all the things we could hope for, a huge ace like jump from Kopech is around the top of such list. Along with so many other things. This team is certainly one we can dream on. Each of the following hopes are all within reach… Eloy hitting 40 bombs Robert putting up 7 WAR Anderson being near the top of the BA pack Vaughn hitting 25 bombs Clevenger not getting castrated Colas top 3 ROY Elvis giving us the best year at second since 2005 Grandal hitting 20 bombs Moncada putting up 4 WAR Cease top 3 Cy Young Hendricks coming back by the all star break Beni hitting for a high average with 20 bombs and completing a good defensive outfield Lynn giving us 180 IP Of course I’m not saying all of that happens but none of those things are unrealistic. Safe to say we have just as much in the “uncertainty” column. Hopefully baseball will be fun again in 2023 on the south side and we won’t be fucking drunkenly asleep by the first inning again this year. That poop was so absurd.
