Sox better hope he does better than Moncada or the Sale trade will be a bust.
And the 97th ranked pre 2018 prospect Stephen Gonsalves makes his debut tonight.

Gonsalves with some impressive numbers at both Chattanooga and Rochester.

I don't have high hopes long term, but in these situations where a team flies in for 1 game before leaving again, lots of hitters get impatient.
Miley's prediction tonight:
5.1 IP 6H 3R 2 BB 4K

And White Sox hitters love to swing the bat with the most strikeouts in the American League against the second-fewest number of walks.

Agree. Maybe if they wanted him, then they couldn’t get the pitcher also.
There is a lot of buzz for his start tomorrow vs Minn.

no clue how two intelligent guys in regards to baseball, have drawn conclusions about a 22 year old kid in the big leagues who has struggled a bit. the white sox got Kopech, Moncada (who has all the talent in the world, and has had growing pains which most players have) and Basebe who has had a really nice year in the minors and has great tools. not only is it hindsight, but it's just wrong to draw conclusions this early on a kid in the big leagues.
he has a 701 OPS with 14 steals and 23 hr's in pretty much his first full season worth of games in the big leagues. roberto alomar didn't have an ops over 800 until he was 25 years old and he appeared in the league at the same age as Moncada.

sox are an ugly .500 since the break. 14-14 but they have shown improvement. bullpen is so bad it's hard to bet on them though; giolito has looked much better of late - even the yankees start where he gave up 7. he's generating swings and misses finally and his velocity is up and his walks are down.
Kopech has been good in his last seven starts at Charlotte (AAA), going 4-0 with an ERA of 1.84.
The 22-year-old right-hander led the minor leagues with 170 strikeouts before his-call-up despite struggling with wildness earlier this season.

Close. 1.1 IP 6H 4ER 1 BB 3K
I forgot about the hit batter too.
It's not easy to play any Twins game under the total, but between Berrios' dominance over White Sox hitters (147 plate appearances, 2.18 FIP and .228 xWOBA) and Kopech's form in AAA (L3 starts, 20 innings, 3 earned runs, 27 strikeouts and NO walks), at the key number of 9, you have to go under. This game will close at 8 1/2 IMO.

Gonsalves is a young, soft-tossing lefty.
No thanks.

And it was.
White Sox fans are starving to re-live the success of the 2005 season.
Kopech seems like a mentally-tough guy.
I liked his mound presence.
Kopech's next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Kopech was all the rage in the DFS world yesterday.
A lot of people were upset with the rain delay bringing about the end of his short start

I feel for White Sox fans.
The Kopech call-up is one of the biggest developments of the season.
Last year, the same thing happened when Yoan Moncada made his Guaranteed Rate Field debut.
Fans cheered for a walk on his first appearance in a White Sox uniform.
