QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 02:23 PM) This is exactly what they mean. Of course they're going to bring them up once they AT LEAST secure the extra year. I think what he (Hostler) meant was there's nothing Kopech can learn at AAA that he wouldn't be able to do at the ML level and get acclimated at the same time. I agree. Which then begs the question, if that does indeed happen, who are they signing for that 5th spot and for 2 weeks? They giving it to whoever impresses in the spring and then shoving them in the pen when Kopech comes up? Not gonna lie I'd love to see MiGo back for another year, but I suspect he will go to a contender.

Game day showed the kzone...looked like Saladino took 2 fastballs pretty much down the middle to end the game.

Kopech with another good outing. 5 innings 2 runs. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in MLB next year in September, or for a replacement for an injured starter

Davidson back to Davidsoning

What a piss poor at bat from Hanson. Looks at the ball right down the middle and pops up the pitch at his eyes.

Its the same injury Matt Davidson had. Contusion. He'll be back first or second week of September. Doesn't give us much more time to see him this year though.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 08:52 PM) Holland 3 scoreless...I predict the implosion to happen in the 5th, with warning signs showing in the 4th. Otherwise, great play by Timmy there in that inning to show off the arm. Hmm, maybe I'm wrong. Holland pretty solid so far actually.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 06:08 PM) The Founder and Icarus on Netflix. Literally just watched the Founder. Really a great movie. I thought it was cool that they mentioned 2 cities I've lived in (Kenosha and Waukegan) and the one I currently live in (Grand Rapids). The McDonald's story is actually quite fascinating.

Polanco is gonna replace Brian Dozier as the Sox killer

Very nice there. He's had a solid outing. The thing I like the most about it so far...no walks.

The man with the era over 6 gets out of 2 straight innings with bases loaded, one with nobody out. Maybe he would be a good closer.

Avi's pissed but those were both strikes

Abreu can actually bust it down the line for his size that's pretty good

Nice to see Yoan line a changeup into the gap

Well, almost surprisingly, quite a nice and pleasant first 3 innings for Giolito.

Some nice line drives on some sinkless sinkers

I wish more pitchers wouldn't shake off the catcher and just trust their stuff. Especially young ones like Gio, even if he has been around for a little while now.

The Cuban duo getting it done in that inning. Minoso smiling down on em.

Jose just missed that one.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) I just saw that...given up only 1 hit in 4 appearances... but for the love of God...NO THANKS! Well, in all fairness, for a team that won't be good next year, and with a look at the current arms, only the currently injured Jones is really the only trustworthy one as far as results and experience goes. This pen will be the death of the team next year, right there with the defense, in my opinion. Why not give him a try. Crazier things have happened.
