Chicago White Sox

Call Jimenez & Kopech up at the same time then? If so, I’ll be going to a game this weekend for sure.

Perfect way to end his career in Charlotte. 9 K’s, 0 BB’s, & 82/106 pitches for strikes. See you on Saturday Michael.

Yup, he’s been pretty damn good out there today no matter how many hits he’s given up.

Southpaw? Oh wait, we’re saving him for free agents.

Almost every single hit he’s given up has been of the blooper variety today.

One of Nicky/Palka/Davidson goes for Eloy. I’d just DFA Santiago to make room Kopech and move Shields (or Covey) to the pen.

As far fetched as it seems, I could see this four game winning streak being the catalyst for calling him up a series early.

Honestly, I go back & forth on Palka vs. Nicky. I’d probably lean Delmonico if it were up to me, but I feel like the org will go with Palka. There’s room for both if they cut bait on Davidson, although I don’t see that happening.

Kopech got a guy out trying to steal third and then K’d the next batter. He looks real fucking good.

That’s Sir Replier! #scoopcity

I still think he’s coming up. Maybe he’s leaving mid game. The timing of the Getz comments would otherwise be weird.

I think Jonathon Lee fellow is on the take! ?

I’m guessing they’re working on a big marketing push and figured this was a way to buy some time.

LF: Jimenez RF: Avi DH: Palka

It’s 100% happening. Kopech will be up later this week too.

Kopech looks like an actual pitcher today. Getting ahead in counts and inducing a ton of ground balls. Still sitting 98 to 99 but with quality command of his pitches.

No Jimenez?

I really hope Kopech brings it today.

Wow, we may have two affiliates no hit today...that would really suck.

Very true. I’m still hoping Cordell finds a way to get things going and serve as our 4th OF at some point.

Please don’t be hurt Luery. Can’t take more Engel.

I think it’s the combination of the two. We traded a guy who ultimately became a top 3 prospect in baseball for a pitcher that was beyond terrible. I don’t blame them entirely for giving up Tatis as no one really knew what he was (except maybe Preller) or he would signed for a much higher bonus. Had Shields been even a solid #3 starter I think we could attribute it to bad luck. But as it stands, it generally reeks of desperation & a lack of due diligence on our end.

Hey we were able to get out of that inning with a tie! It only required half our bullpen. Hopefully this one doesn’t go into extras.

I agree, Rick is very calculating in how he responds to things. The “there was no question” was an easy out for him.
