Buehrle>Wood

ESPN just kicked off 5 pm Sportscenter with the Tunsil story, calling it the biggest story of the draft and it has "shown no signs of slowing down". They have 5 reporters on location, at 5 different locations. If they don't want it to die, it won't die.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) f*** Robin. What kind of f***ing bulls*** is this that Robin thinks that f***ing Danks give the team any shot to win any motherf***ing games. What a f***ing joke. While I share your anger, I doubt this is Robin's call.

If this is longer term, hetc should have been called up anyways

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) The point was that Incognito is back in the league and isn't a distraction. So surmise that Tunsil's draft date drama is going to be an issue that follows him is just not supported by the history of offensive linemen in the NFL. He was out of the league for 1.5 years. He was still a distraction during the the first part when he was merely suspended, thanks to the media not being able to stfu about him. He then literally had to leave the nfl for a full season to not be a distraction anymore. Not because he wasn't a capable player, but purely because he'd be a distraction. Correct, it's hard to be a distraction to a team when youre not actually on a team (JFF will try his best now though), but his case would a worse case scenario here.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) Isn't it way more likely that he was kept away from the mic at his introductory press conference because every question was going to be about his multiple hacked social media accounts? He wasn't going to get a single question about football. He's an offensive lineman. They are not generally in the limelight. If Richie Incognito's stuff can go away, I see no reason that Tunsil's draft day drama is going to hound the Dolphins for the next four years. Incognito missed 24 games all because he, even being an offensive lineman, went into the spotlight after the initial headlines, and the media made a complete spectacle of him, dug as deep as possible into him, and got him blackballed from the league. Don't get me wrong, it was well deserved, but he is hardly the example you should bring up here. His case should be way more caution for the Dolphins than not.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) It's really not. They'll protect him and answer some questions for a few weeks then for the most part it'll go away because the picture and text messages just aren't a big deal for Tunsil. You may have missed the last 24 hour round the clock coverage of him. PR nightmare indeed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) I absolutely hate this line of thinking. They're already 0-4 in his starts, and in 3 of them he gave them no chance to win. He's pretty much one of the 3 worst pitchers in baseball over the last 4 seasons. We've seen too many seasons derailed over the past twenty years due to incompetent number 5 starters. Seriously. Sox fans should know better than anyone. 2003 ring a bell for anyone? The best team in Sox history doesn't make the playoffs in big part because we have to throw Danny Wright out there every 5th day.

Dude is done. Our guys at AAA would have to try and be worse.

7 lob

One time

Tie this up

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) Turner walked a bunch last night. Maybe I'm being easy on Danks because the team is 16-6. Let's just say be careful what you wish for. Yeah you're being easy. It literally can't be any worse than Danks right now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) If Miguel Gonzalez (or Johnson) has a couple good starts in AAA while Danks has a couple more bad starts, that probably would be it. It would be nice if Buehrle was secretly getting in shape and wanted to come back, but I highly doubt it. I really doubt we ever see him again. Turner is getting a couple million and pitching well. He's next.

If someone could please get on video Hawk saying "get rid of him" I'd be forever in your debt

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Yes he did Where are the Danks apologists now I still can't believe he said that. I'm laughing so hard.

LOL

Did hawk just say get rid of Danks? LOL

Time to get someone up

Any nfl draft talk in here and I riot

Wtf was that strike 1

You know it's bad when you're a long time Sox veteran and Hawk is very much on your case. "A rocket, what else?" Holy s*** I've never seen Hawk give a non rookie this treatment.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) I think the rest of baseball feels the same. I think the Sox have developed a reputation as a team that be ran on easily, and opponents will have to learn the hard way that isn't true anymore. Except Eaton vs some teams. Eaton has been getting oddly respected like he's Vlad or something early on. And I'm the biggest proponent of his arm on this board, but it's been ridiculous in a few cases.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Truly believe they pull the plug on Danks if he gets rocked again Agreed. Just don't half ass it this time and just do it.
