The starting pitching keeps getting better and better. Kopech slotting in will be a huge shot in the arm, even if he takes a while to adjust. What might actually make the biggest impact in the short term is when the back end relievers start showing up on the roster. The starting pitching and hitting has gotten to a point where it is at least respectable, but the pen is still trash. When you start to add Hamilton, a healthy Burdi, Bummer, Fraere, etc into the pen next year, and some of the guys like Minaya who have been high leverage guys this year shove down to middle relief, the team gets a lot better. And that is just the leading wave. If they don't work out, there are guys like Ryan Burr, Tyler Johnson, and Jose Ruiz are the next phase. That isn't even counting guys like Covey would could be failed starters who hit it big in the pen down the road. It's going to be a long winter!

For my two cents is that we can all ruminate over the business of baseball, but if you let it fuck up your enjoyment of the game of baseball, you are doing it wrong. exactly!

SoxAce Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Kopech's dad retweeted this. Must be a thrill to see his favorite pitcher being impressed with his son. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-spt-white-sox-twins-20180821-story,amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It's too bad the rain shortened Kopech's outing. He was impressive, and I believe that had there been no rain delay he would have had quicker innings after the second. The hits he gave up were weak and the hit batter was iffy. He looked looser and more relaxed in the second, and I think he would have settled down even more as time went on. His fastball was electric, although a few too many had too much of the plate. The breaking stuff was nasty. But that one changeup was absolute filth. A 91 mph changeup with that type of movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 How ironic for those of us who want him to get to 160 innings that the best thing for that would have been for him to not get called up until this week. D'oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is hitting .173 with 2 homers and Delmonico is just a couple steps away from the warning track. Noticed the same for Mauer as well (a lefty with 5 only 5 bombs, though hes good at going the other way).

LittleHurt05 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 When a kid's father is the primary coach his entire life, I feel like it usually ends up badly. Good to see this is an opposite situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
