Why would they start Kopech first game after the break? All pitchers are rested.  Sorry if someone else already asked this.

He had the most rest, I assume. If you look around baseball, it's pretty split whether teams use their best pitchers or most rested starters coming out of the break.

Don't forget Basabe and that Diaz dude lol.

At the time of the trade a golf crony of mine who is a Red Sox fan told me that Basabe was going to be the sleeper in the trade and a future star, was he ever wrong.

As expected this series is gonna be ugly (capn obvious). Surprised it's only 4-0 although that's a decent lead for the Braves. Atlanta has won 5 divisional titles in a row; I always hoped the Sox could do that in the weak Central. i had major hopes of dominance after 05. But we didn't build on success; our team rested on laurels, Oz got cocky and all that and boom. We stink.

Nice throw by Colas though. I liked.

God only knows how the Sox worked Kopech the last few weeks. Should get some work in before his next start to lock down command, give him Zavala for the love of God so he can throw pitches with confidence they will be blocked/caught if he misses.
