Dunt Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) Rodon is starting next Wednesday. Calling it now. Not saying they cant make a run later in the season, but they can't be throwing away games like this 2 out of every 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 That's just bad baseball. I'm fine with Danks outing today anyway. You have to score runs to win, and the 4th is not on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (bulokis @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) So Rodon and Bryant fall in the same position right? I heard bryan getting called up this friday Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) But the Sox aren't keeping him down for service time reasons I have to believe if it didn't matter if he was on the Opening Day roster or called up 2 weeks later, he would be in the rotation right now. The extra year of control in what should be his prime, vs. 2 weeks of rookieness is well worth waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett05 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) They have plausible deniability -- but if you think they don't know that keeping him down 3 weeks at any point this season gives them another year of guaranteed control (on a Boras client nonetheless), well, your head is in the sand imo. Given the number of Boras clients who are good and never see that extra year I'd think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 17 straight games starting Friday...they'll go 6-man two times around the rotation then drop Danks or Noesi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 3rd base is looking like a liability this year with Gillaspie being a horrible fielder. He doesn't provide enough power to make up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is it just me, or is our shifting in the infield always wrong and hitters hit it where they would be playing? Also, I'm already sick of Micah, bring up Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) agreed, Danks has done nothing to earn a starting spot As a 4th starter he just needs to have that 4.5 ERA and work into the 6th and hope our offense can keep pace. Unless he can get that 6ish ERA down, you're right, he doesn't deserve a spot. But I'm more concerned about the anemic offense so far. Some guys really need to wake the f*** up (hi Melky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clients usually sign before hand. And the Sox would be foolish to throw away that 7th year leverage for 2 starts in April 2015. Retarded really if we don't care about being PC.
