“I don’t know if he’s been banged or not,” Roberts said of Kopek after a terrible thrown outing from the right. “It could be the shoulders. It could be the elbow. He’s clearly out of knee surgery and is struggling to synchronize his throws.”
He then became honest about Kopech’s potential role on a team heading into the postseason.
“I love copying, I know he’s doing everything he can,” Roberts said. “But it’s just for me, you need to win the game. You have to give your defense the opportunity to play. Strike throwing was just difficult and inconsistent. That’s what we think now, we think we are.
