The White Sox starter threw four scoreless innings, and lowered his ERA to 1.17 in the process, but he wasn’t happy when he left the game.
“I want to be out there, and I want to be able to go deeper into games, take the load off our bullpen and actually get a chance to be the guy on the mound for as long as I can,” Kopech said. “I didn’t get to do that today, and that’s why I was upset.”
It’s something Kopech will likely have to get used to, at least in the short term, because the White Sox want to keep a cautious approach with Kopech as he takes on a full-time starter’s role for the first time since 2018. Tony La Russa went as far as to say the team could give Kopech a break at some point later this season. Meanwhile, the White Sox plan on giving Kopech an extra sixth day off, as soon as possible.
Kopech had a conversation with La Russa about the cautious approach, and why he was pulled after four innings on Tuesday. In the end, he understands why the decision was made to pull him after only 83 pitches.
