soxfan49 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 No one is tipping pitches, Gordon. These are sliders right down the plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I still am confident in hendricks and Kimbrel (though I may be in minority on Kimbrel). But the next arms out of pen should be tepera and crochet instead of kopech and bummer. That said Kopech upside is still big, lets not forget hes basically still a rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Cesar's defense is a godsend. But also, WTF did John Schneider do? Edit: I could clearly see him say "get the fuck out of here" after getting tossed ... but what did he do before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Kopech's slider is what's causing him to have all these struggles. His fastball was amazing today and they refused to throw it to get guys out. He gave up 3 hits on the slider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our manager still believes that a #2 hitter is a guy who is suppose to be a good bunter, move guys over type which is what Hernandez does (only recently has he had Robert at #2 and that's against lefties) Edited August 26, 2021 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG23SoxFan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Sure hope they haven't packed up the bats because I don't know how they are getting 9 more outs without giving up several runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This bullpen somehow made a 7 run lead into a tight game. Now they gotta try to not blow another game in the 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The slider to Semien was a hanger. Some of the other ones weren't. They were either sitting on it to the exclusion of all other pitches (which come on Zavala pick up on that), or he was tipping. I'd think Beckham knows the signs of a pitcher tipping as well.

Let him learn - they can and should be invested in it. As much as it sucked to watch that inning, I think I agree with this. Gotta let him work through his issues. This isn't someone like Ruiz or Bummer you can just hide for a while when he's going bad. Sox need him to get to the other side of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Last nine Kopech appearances: 9 1/3 Innings; 13 Runs; 11 Earned Runs. Thank God Cesar put an end to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
