caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Jason Coats making life hard on Kopech. 2 rbi’s now, first homer allowed on the year to Coats as well. Almost had him for strike three. Still not out of it. 3 walks (total), bases loaded with just one out. 4 walks last time out. Having a much harder time second time through the lineup. Grand slam. Officially a complete disaster today for all aspects of the White Sox. Edited May 12, 2018 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Wow, Kopech just gave up a grand slam. What a disasterous inning for him. Edited May 12, 2018 by Chicago White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Well today totally sucks. Kopech isn't close to being ready. A scout friend of mine actually said his stuff looked better last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Casali grand slam just the second homer allowed by Kopech all season long. Alvarez can’t corral a chopper up the middle. Fourth hit of the inning. Bullpen up, Danish. Stolen base. Ironic that it’s Coats tonight, Bourjos was big part of last night’s game.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Basabe with two more K’s. Hopefully he can make some adjustments and get his K rate moving back in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then he is making Eloy look like a chump His start was definitely ugly, but he’s been on fire these last few weeks. Not just the power but also a much better K rate to go along with an always elite BB rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked this up cause I was curious - in May of last year, he had a 2.31 ERA. But in June, his ERA was 6.95 over 5 starts, he pitched 22 innings and walked 18 while striking out just 22.

As far as I’m concerned, the best move with Kopech and Eloy is to wait until next April/May to be under control through 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone watching the game? Is Kopech throwing a lot of heat, or is he working on stuff? I only saw the fourth and his command was simply off. Primarily fastballs from what I could tell, but he threw some off-speed stuff as well. Wasn’t working on anything specific though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, reading from “experts” neither Collins nor Zavala are going to be full time catchers in the bigs. My hope is Collins can actually improve behind the plate.

I agree. They aren’t winning anything next year. Let them get their feet wet then, and have an extra year of control when they are going to need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a huge reach at number 10 overall if he can't stick behind the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kopech improves his control and Eloy shows he can hit AAA then bring them up. But at this point, they are young enough to leave down in the minors this year if need be.
