He's been a bit more inconsistent than predicted, but there have never been questions about his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) It's amazing to me that Colas has been doing this forever, and it has not been corrected at any level. This org sucks. Please don't trade Robert. Only reason to watch this team. Edited August 29, 2023 by Paulie4Pres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 No idea why Colas would throw to 3rd there. Just throw the ball to 2nd base. He let the trailing runner get to second and both runners score on a soft single. Great diving catch by Robert to get the 1st out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 He really hasn't done anything bad tonight, but I hate watching Vaughn play 1st as much as watching Kopech pitch. I'm not kidding now, but there is no way Eloy could be as bad as AV at 1B with about one weeks experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The Rockies are really freaking good at losing just enough. Every time I check the league standings after the Sox have a rough stretch, they’re still slightly better than Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not kidding now, but there is no way Eloy could be as bad as AV at 1B with about one weeks experience. Can Eloy handle the rigors of first base for more than a few weeks without breaking down? He’s had trouble remaining on the field this season as a DH.

Regarding Kopech, I know because the Sox aren't going to go out and sign/trade for four starting pitchers next year that he's going to stay in the rotation but this guy is not a starter. He could make a solid relief pitcher though but naturally the Sox won't try that approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go with the 6-man rotation or 7-man where every starter pitches two innings, Let's face it Sox have had no pitchers in the modern era worth a flip after 5 innings max. Kopech can go all out two innings along with the rest of the guys on the "staff" next year. No reason to trot these guys out 5-6 innings when THEY ARE INCAPABLE of 5-6 innings of excellence. Except mabe Clevinger. He's done pretty well. Way better than Cease and Kopech. Cease would be another stellar 2 inning guy. I hate modern baseball but if it's here, it's here. Tell me my idea blows. It does not! Edited August 29, 2023 by greg775 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to many games starting in late April (beyond Clevinger games which I do not follow), and was excited after the Tuesday firings. That ended the following morning when Boob said Getz is their frontrunner. If someone less qualified than Kenny or Rick take over, I'll just wait until Jerry is gone before following closely again, assuming I still care. If they hire someone credible from beyond the organization, I will resume following the team and give it a chance. They sucked me in this weekend with the shooting and White Sox/Jerry Reinsdorf way of handling it (incompetence, minimal transparency or concern for fans, non credible communication, national embarrassment). Not much else to follow at this stage until the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I hated the way they treated Kopech from the start. They made him out to be the team's savior before he threw one pitch at the major league level. Years later, he still doesn't know how to pitch. If he is still in the rotation next season, you know more losing is on the way. Back to the rebuild. How about that new stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point he was consistently pumping 99+ with a very sharp slider. The upside was very real. This version of him is a shell of what he used to be, add in his refusal to have a 3rd off speed pitch like a changeup and this is what you get.
