I mean the Reds just called up a guy from AA who was hitting .249. The Padres called up a pitcher a few days ago who has given up 20 hits in 9 innings pitched while these guys are in the minors. Still, I get it no argument. Also, if Kopech were to get the call, I think it's a logical idea that Dylan Cease would be brought up to AAA. I remember posting a thread about him during Spring training after i watched him against Seattle. There were a lot of questions about him then, questions that are getting answered each time Dylan takes the mound. I can't deny being excited about a rotation of Rodon-Kopech-Cease-Gio-Lopez, and the potential they bring. Are those two prospects for CIN and SD top prospects or just guys who they are seeing what they have in them? Because if it's the former, that's a mistake. If it's the latter, there's no correlation between their situations and the situations of Kopech and Jimenez. Those two franchises likely aren't worrying about service team for two guys who probably don't have a future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Covey to the pen. 10 days and about 5 hours to trade Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Does anyone know when Kopech's next start will be? Today is Shields, Friday is TBD, Saturday is Lopez and Sunday is Giolito (looks like they pushed Lopez and Giolito ahead a day. Is it safe to say Kkkkkopech pitches Friday? I'm going to Saturdays game and would love to go to Fridays as well if he is slated to be on the mound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a little surprised to see him go Friday on short rest even though he had an abbreviated start on Tuesday. I figured they'd go Shields (Thur), Lopez (Fri), Gio (Sat), and Kopech (Sun). But I see what you're saying with the listed probables today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 On ESPN, Kopech is still projected for Sunday. I think that is a safe guess. Then Friday at home against the Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The White Sox and Cardinals have homered in their last 15 games. The Phillies have the season high at 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes right now on level of confidence I have in the future prospects of our rotation it goes: 1. Kopech 2. Rodon 3. Gio very far down the line 4. Rey Lo I think Gio has a legitimate chance to take these strides and become a useful SP3 or around there (SP2-Sp4).

Eh These things fluctuate within any given time frame when pitchers have there bad streaks in the process of learning. For the last 2 years Kopech has had stretches of ugliness in the minors . I can practically guarantee Kopech will look like crap too over some 5 or 6 starts in a row next year in May and/ or June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, his hard hit rate is at like 10%. He might be walking too many and not striking out an ideal amount of guys but whatever he's doing to get them off balance is mostly working. From the little I've observed it seems he's finally got good fastball command on a consistent basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
