The front line starter stuff is still there and has shown potential to eat innings as well. I agree. I like Lopez a ton, however, I can see why some fans believe he might end up in the bullpen for the reasons I stated. Hopefully they’re wrong.

Chicago White Sox Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Three pages and no one has mentioned Lopez is using his curveball finally and it actually looks pretty good. That’s a fucking revelation and greatly improves his chances of being a quality starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, anyone could see it happening after 2 innings. ReyLo has been really *really* lucky to get to the 5th inning today. It seems to be unraveling finally now with bases loaded. Reylo hasn't been good today, although he seems to be finding his stuff as the game progresses. As I type this, he gets a K... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Nice play on both ends of that. Perfect throw and tag. That is not an easy play for a pitcher to make while running to cover home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Really don't get all the negativity. He allowed some hard contact in the 1st and 2nd but this has been a good start. That inning wasn't his fault with the defense he received. More swings and misses than he's had in awhile, and a lot on the offspeed. Speaking of the offspeed, the command of it has been incredible.

hogan873 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Awesome, but how did Smith miss that pitch? Did he get crossed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Oh wow! That worked out well for the Sox. Maybe Renteria should have Lopez do instructs for the first baseman on how to pick the ball out of the dirt properly.

Greg Hibbard Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hilarious outcome. I’m loving that Yankees fans must be utterly furious watching them blow a very meaningful must win home series against what they no doubt view as a garbage nothing team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With is fantastic! But the fact Lopez basically abandoned his curve all year, his bread & butter breaking ball in the minors, and has not only brought it back but has also been able to command is the most important takeaway from tonight IMO. Why Cooper had him stop using it in the first place is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
