KnightsOnMintSt Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Would've been fun to see Kopech vs. Acuna in this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Kopech and Cease in just over an hour. How about 13 innings and 4 or fewer runs combined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Evan skoug looks like a wasted pick rather than a value 7th rounder (or whatever round he was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The outfield depth is remarkable. Hope they keep the right ones, because they’re going to trade some of these guys down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Kopech getting hit around a bit so far. I gotta say, I love how fast he works. Just catch's and throws. Edited May 2, 2018 by mac9001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 7th round pick a “wasted pick” and less than a year into their career. Never change soxtalk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cease with 1 hit 8Ks through 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Kopech rebounding nicely. Anyone know if he’s working on the changeup a lot tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't think that a guy who was one strikeout away from the NCAA single season record had a good hit tool. We knew it was going to be something that we were going to have to work on and really undo a year or more of bad habits he got into. But with his power potential it was worth it.

Yes 100% It was a flyer he could translate his power and that trait was certainly one of the most interesting ones left. But he’s a flyer that needs to overcome a lot of swing and miss. But if he does, (see power above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sounds like you're describing Keon Barnum there...but a 7th round draft pick failing isn't a huge deal in the overall scheme of things, it's more the 1st through 3rd and maybe 4th/5th rounders you should be most critical of (depending on whether they're under or oversigns.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 1 reason he was drafted as high as the 7th round and that is the value his bat could potentially provide while playing subpar defense.
