QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:56 AM) Most managers let their highly regarded pitchers try to go six innings. This is on Danks ... epic fail! Don't start your passive aggressive excuse making for Ozzie tonight please.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Just taking time to check in from Vegas to say, what a monumental failure John Danks is right now. Thanks for the Javy Vasquez flashbacks! If it was like Little League and you could only pitch 4 innings, he'd be a star!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) Beating the Yankees 6-5 in the top of the 8th. You can't look that up yourself? Making fun of Hawk for scoreboard watching so closely this early in the year.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:53 AM) Some of it's on Robin. But some seem to believe Danks has this untapped potential that's yet to be realized. Please. He's a #4 starter getting paid #2 starter money. He's looking more like Mark Buehrle now than he does Jon Lester.

Hawk, can we get a Tigers update please??

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) great call leaving him in Ventura's decision making has been less than impressive this year. I can't believe he left Danks in this long.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) Is John Danks the most overpaid #4 starter in baseball? Too early to tell, but his stuff f***ing sucks this year. He was really bad last year, and he looks worse now than he ever did last year.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) Did you bet the over or what? I'm thinking Ventura might have

Left him in way too long. What a disaster of a season so far for Danks. Also, anyone still arguing the Red Sox don't have an amazing lineup right now?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) JDINAA Let's hope it doesn't turn into J. Danks Is Now An Albatross

Jeez Ventura, get him out of the game. That fastball is so damn flat this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:45 AM) Wait, the White Sox don't put on a shift for Ortiz? That ball went right where the 2b usually shifts. Is it just because of the runners on? That was really bad fielder placement

6th innings and Danks haven't gotten along well in a while. Also, seemed like Beckham was playing way too much up the middle.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:42 AM) Sorry, it didn't come off like that haha I would give Morel and Beckham the 3-0 green light if I could

AJ, you're better than that!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) Notice how he just looked at the sliders and made him come with a fastball... If we weren't Sox fans and our team was playing the Sox, I guarantee you there'd be 100 posts saying "don't throw him a fastball"

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) Uhh what? With 2 outs you've really got nothing to lose. Complete sarcasm

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) Don't make me angry...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.... You can find ways to get him into the lineup. For example, I don't think Bard was a good match-up for Viciedo tonight. Also, getting Alexei lower in the order hopefully breaks up the 3 straight young players in the order we've seen of late.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) 401. Bad managing giving him the 3-0 green light

Alexei now 3-26 in the 2nd spot...really wish Fukudome could get some chances in that spot

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) Nice inning there for Danks. +1

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) Watching Beckhams AB on game day, saw in play, outs. Thought to myself, based on pitch position and count, thats an infield pop out. Way too predictable. He looks worse on TV than on game day, trust me.

Morel chased ball 4 after not swinging at the first 5 pitches. My gosh, take Beckham out of his misery and bench him/demote him.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:20 AM) Boston wins bat toss. That's longer than any ball Beckham has hit this year.

Very nice job by Danks of holding them after Sox scored.
