jenksycat Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Rainout tonight = Kopech Wednesday? *edit - bit late. Just need a reason for Kopech to move to Wed as I can't make tomorrow Edited August 21, 2018 by jenksycat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think they brought up Kopech to get ready for 190-200 IP next year. I'd imagine they'd pitch him about 165-175 this season and then they'll shut him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me is probably 90% of the anti-stathead "MIT and Harvard are types are ruining baseball" sentiment. It's always been a false dichotomy. You can enjoy tmr's start whether you agree with the service time decision or not. Edited August 21, 2018 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I could see the cubs being legitimately interested in Shields seeing as how Chatwood walks the world. Shields isn't worth much and the cubs don't have much to offer, it's a good fit on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing the sox they'll wait till 8pm to call the game. Gotta make sure to take advantage of 30k people buying a few beers then refill on Wednesday.

I usually buy online but thinking of buying at box office right before game time since still waiting on confirmation from couple friends. Will lower bowl seats be available? 4 hours ago, fathom said: Heard on radio couple thousand sold already since announcement and expectation is mid 20s Don't know if he was just guessing, but White Sox Dave seemed to think there would be a mid 30s attendance tomorrow.

caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Moncada's first game was last July 20th (against LAD)...Thursday night, attendance of almost 25,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a beautiful Friday or Saturday night with Kopech debuting, but I highly doubt on a potentially rainy Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
