Jack Parkman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Fuck Cooper for neutering what makes Kopech special. I want him gone, but at the same time I'm mortified to think of what Sox pitching would look like without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think modern baseball may have passed him by. I'm willing to wait to see if he adjusts but I don't think he will.

Read the article in the Athletic by Fegan on how the new pitchers up are having to adjust on the different seams on the MLB ball. Very interesting and a good read. Several almost can't control a breaking pitch or have some that slip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really meant was if a new manager wanted to bring in their own pitching coach I wouldn't be opposed to Cooper leaving.

reiks12 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They knew this would happen but started him anyway. I hope these 20 innings he will pitch in september will be worth losing that extra year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 5 minutes ago, Insp said: Why can't they play baseball in the rain like they do with football? You can play in a light rain. You can't play in a heavy rain as the ball will get water logged on any hit and make it extremely tough to throw. You're also going to get standing water in any heavy rain and that will make the game completely unplayable. In MLB they are primary concerned about standing water and they have a team watching the weather and ready to put the tarp out. Given the increased injury risk there is almost no reason to play through weather other than to try and get a tightly scheduled game in the books and through 5 innings.
