South Side Hit Men Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I wish James Fegan would ask Tony if Kopech is available to pitch, since he has pitched once (4 outs) this month, and I don't recall him warming up in other games. Also, I don't see how the Sox can convert him to starting for more than a few months next season with innings of 0, 0, and 54 + a few more the rest of this season.

Edit: GameDay said Andrus walked and then switched it to a strike out. WTF is going on? Guess what. We got the good Bummer today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the way he's managing right now, but I still think if there's one thing I trust TLR about, it's load management and managing for the playoffs. It's hard to argue against his experience and pedigree there. We'll see how it works out, but I'm just going to pretend he has a plan and knows what he's doing.

maxjusttyped Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Thinking about who should DH in the playoffs (assuming Engel is healthy) is just depressing me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he should have started the game or even play tomorrow, but if they aren't putting him on the IL then he should be batting for Mendick in that situation. If not Eloy, pinch hit Leury who has been of our hottest hitters lately and can step in at SS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all we can do to keep our sanity. The injuries magnify this 10 fold also. Moncada and Eloy are not out because of rest so there is no real other options at this point.

It’s too bad because baseball is still a business that needs to satisfy its customers. You don’t pay big money or spend three hours in front of the TV to watch the crappy product on the field with these Sunday lineups. Not to mention the big bucks being paid to the players.
