I don't know the reason but something is terribly wrong with this organization. Expand Anderson has to get more on that throw. To use the new buzzword, non-competitive.

maxjusttyped Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Kopech's almost entirely reliant upon his fastballs to get whiffs and that's a difficult way for 99% of starters to pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Robert is in between on defense just like hitters get. He's hesitating because he has been told not to go all out like he was in 2020. Plus he's getting terrible reads all of a sudden. It's like you can actually see him thinking out there instead of reacting instinctively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Is it crazy to consider an opener for Kopech? The thought would probably break Tony’s old mind so not going to happen, but Kopech consistently struggles in the 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
