    7/7 MiLB Gameday: Wright, Buttrey and Kopech

      It seems like the Red Sox have decided this year in particular to have their pitchers focus on adding an extra MLB-quality pitch (Ball and Owens being the most obvious). That of course results in a higher walk total.    Five walks is unusual for Kopech - anyone know if he's working on...
