Richie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 That was a fantastic display. Much needed after his last outing. Abreu will likely be our All-Star, but if we were a better team. Lopez would stand a decent chance if he keeps this up. Maybe he really zones in and makes it anyway? Doubtful, but a couple more outings like that...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Good game. Don;t really understand those who were pushing for Reylo to go longer. Doesn't he have a problem bringing his good stuff from start to start ? You notice his last start was shorter so maybe that's why his stuff was extra crispy today. Let's see how his stuff plays next start after going 8 today. No need to tax his arm / Maybe 95-100 pitch max should be it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to be a guy who can go nine, he needs to practice going 7 and 8 first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hawk brought up an interesting comparison for Lopez today: Bartolo Colon. He definitely pitched like Bartolo today, throwing 75 fastballs out of 107 pitches. I think Reynaldo can become a more well-round pitcher than Bartolo (no fat joke intended), but I wonder if he can use this fastball heavy approach to his advantage while he polishes the secondary stuff.

You think Reynaldo Lopez can become a more well-rounded pitcher than a potential HOF’r in Bartolo Colon? Lofty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colon always had the style of doing just enough to win. If he needed 92 to win, he'd throw 92. If he needed 98 in the 9th, he'd find it.

Heads22 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 He had thrown 107 pitches. Literally no reason to run him back out for the ninth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Would be nice if Lopez keeps pitching like this. As well as the three relievers who have not been awful of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a slower process when you have trouble bringing your good stuff from start to start. He's not a big guy and I'd prefer the Sox tread lightly and keep his arm fresher. Right now I'd think they just need to concentrate on keeping an eye on his innings for the season rather than pushing the limits on individual starts. If he pitches north of 175 inning this year that's enough for me. Going nine is a thing of the past except on rare occasions now.
