ChiSox @ Tribe, Memorial Day Game Thread

This is worse than watching the last 20 games of the Bulls season. Covey deserved better. -

When is Kevan Smith due back? -
Kopech done. 6IP 3H 2ER 2BB 7SO. Looked good. Had one bad inning and a solo shot. When he executed pitches AAA hitters had no chance. HR came a pitch after he thought he had the guy punched out. Lead-off walk hurt him in the 5th.
-
Yay. Finally some good news
-
Of those two, I'd take Singer, but I'd rather have Kelenic than either of them. Not a great draft to be picking where we're picking.
-
Would rather roll the dice on upside with Kelenic than take Madrigal. More I think about it, the more anti-Madrigal I get. High contact, low walks, low power, speed player who hits right-handed. Does not profile in modern game.
-
Wow. Number 1 pick, here we come. Seriously, I was looking at the 40 man because the Sox have to add both Kopech and Cease to it in the offseason. They have about 25 guys you want on it, after that there's a lot of AAAA meh players. Skole is just the latest.
-
Pitched last night for Birmingham. Looked good. Got the win. Control not terrible. Aggressive with the fastball, not a lot of deception. Throw him in there with Burdi, Johnson, and Hamilton as real hard throwers for the future.
-
Yeah, and you’re not going to get that much for him. Salary relief? Who cares? Sox have a minuscule payroll that’s about to shed Shields as well. If Eloy were a first baseman, maybe, but trading Abreu for a couple of B/C level prospects, meh.
-
Why would he be older than his listed age? I get it’s been a problem in the Dominican where there’s plenty of incentive to buy a new identity both for baseball reasons and unique situations on the island. (For example, discrimination against people of Haitian descent.). But Cubans Jose’s age had no hope of going to America to play baseball and Cuba’s a dictatorship. Way harder to get false documents in a police state than it is in the D.R. Plus, he got famous in Cuba as a very young man. It’s possible he’s older than his listed age, but I doubt it. Is there any evidence?
-
Is Winston-Salem’s outfield better than the Sox outfield right now? I realize it’s A ball, but good grief, Sox outfield worst I can remember.
-
I predict the latter. He hasn't really had one full healthy season as a starter. I bet they concentrate on innings.
-
You called it, Caulfield. Big boys got it done.
-
Ian Hamilton strikes out the side for the Barons. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him in the bigs by the end of the year.
-
Also, they’re relatively old for the level. Laz Rivera is already 23, for instance and Dedelow was a senior sign as well. It’s like we’ve got two Hi A affiliates
-
Cease is done. 7.1 4H 1ER 2BB 9K
-
Yeah, when he keeps his delivery together, which he has most of the year,, he’s pretty tough. Kopech hasn’t gotten on a run yet, though. Middle to end of last year he was unhittable. Glad we have both.
-
Curve was filthy
-
Bunted against the shift.
-
If only we needed a catcher.
-
Man, we can’t catch a break. Hope he’s okay. He was dealing.

Welington Castillo to be suspended 80 games for PED, per Rosenthal
Timmy U replied to Heads22's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I think the organization believes in Collins/Zavala, plus Castillo has a guaranteed contract for next year. And frankly, I think our pitchers would rather throw to Kevan Smith anyway. -
Thanks
-
It’s harder to read the ball off the bat in left.
-
I agree. Getting Carlos back will be huge. The Sox have lead the known universe in 2 inning starts. If they start to get MLB average starts from Rodon, Shields, Giolito, Lopez, and Santiago, they will still lose a lot of games because who we’re running out in the outfield on a daily basis, but at least they will win their share.
