Great D by PK. Be careful with Olivo here.

Danks getting good action on his curve now.

AJP might want to stop calling for that change-up.

Danks should have a very short leash this inning.

Oh did Jeff Cox get lucky.

Very nice...hell of an effort by our hitters today.

Damn Alexei...that was a terrible AB. Of course, that foul bunt didn't help things.

The 5th inning is way too early to be bunting Ozzie!

With the way Dye and Danks looks today, you do not bunt here.

Amazing AB by Pods. Missed a homer by a foot.

Got to make Greinke throw at least 40 pitches over the next 3 innings. Can't let him get into the 8th inning today.

Jacobs might be Danks last batter of the game. It's so obvious with Danks that he's flying off the mound to his right way, way too much. He looks like Mitch Williams right now.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:25 PM) Juan Pierre on July 3rd. But, now, the price will be steep. No it won't...Dodgers will still give him away for nothing if someone takes on his salary.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:21 PM) we're agreed on that front. I thought since his performance vs Boston at home last year (where he had a no-no thru 6, I believe) that Danks could become Johan-lite for the Sox. He just needs to keep his mechanics in check, and he proved last year he can do it. Put it this way: if Danks isn't an above average pitcher for the Sox over the next 3-4 years, then this team will not compete for the AL crown. He should be a 15-17 game winner every year.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:18 PM) Please see the following: I will then reply that I honestly never saw that post, and couldn't disagree more with it. As I had said earlier, Cooper has his work cut out for him to get his mechanics back in order.

Edwin Jackson has given up 1 hit in 7 innings, as Tigers still lead 1-0.

Danks has got to keep it close, as KC will have to use their depleted bullpen today.

Fields!! Thanks for throwing him a breaking ball with 2 strikes.

Considering righties aren't close to hitting Greinke, can you blame Ozzie for playing Wise?

Swing the damn bat. At least this means BA will be back in CF tomorrow.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:11 PM) wow, and he has had what, 10 starts? close the book, its done right? Who in the hell said that they were closing the book on Danks this season? Do you disagree that Danks hasn't been terrible since his good start this year?

QUOTE (G&T @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) Just because people don't use those exact words doesn't mean they don't think he's going to be bad in the future. Well, then those people are idiots.

That first pitch to Wise was absolute bulls***.

Please contribute Wise so I don't have to keep defending you.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) dont fall back on this crap, all you guys did was rip him for 2 straight pages Yes, we're ripping because he's looked terrible this season from basically his 4th start on. His mechanics are totally screwed, and after that start in Anaheim, I think we were hopeful he would start to improve upon them.
