When the vast majority of your offense is underperforming it’s time for a change. I don't think he's telling guys to swing at garbage, sell out for contact at all costs, and pound the ball directly into the ground, but... it's obvious he can't help fix what's ailing all of the underperforming hitters. That should be enough of a reason to fire him at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Kopech only three Ks away from career high of 10 against Rangers. More former Sox...Alvarez needs his own Disney movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Kopech has essentially been perfect but the offense can't do the bare minimum to pick him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Juan Minaya trying to hold down Yankees...4-3 NY a lot closer than pitching matchups would have indicated. 8 k's a season high for Kopech. Four 1-2-3 innings too. Edited June 8, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Kopech has electric stuff tonight. Too bad he is at 85 pitches already. Only one more inning most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Park Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 At 85 pitches, put some hits together and get Kopech the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Mitch Cy Young will be at 60 pitches through 6 with one hit given up. We just don’t work counts or take walks, allowing opposing SP work deep into games.

Wasn’t he once quoted as saying as much? Just seeing a team wide launch angle decrease and groundball increase tells me some of this is coaching related even if the players are primarily to blame. To your point, whatever he’s doing isn’t working and that alone warrants a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
