QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:06 PM) go back over the last few pages. multiple people, yourself included i believe, said "john danks is freaking (or f***ing) terrible" let's just relax a bit is all i'm saying. Yes, and did anyone say "Danks is terrible and he should be demoted/released/traded for McCarthy".

It would be fantastic if Thome gets locked in. This coming home stand will make or break our season.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) thank you. everyone calm the f*** down. John Danks does not suck. He's not TERRIBLE! he's a young pitcher who went a ton more innings last year than he had previously. Regression is natural. jesus. No one is saying he's a terrible pitcher. He's just terrible right now.

So put me in the camp who's officially worried about Danks. He's looking like the pitcher we saw in 2007 again, and unlike Floyd, who seems to have pitched better than his numbers show, Danks is the opposite.

Everything is up in the zone. Of course, nice we pitch to Olivo with a base open and 2 outs. I'd take my chances with DeJesus.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 31, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) It has nothig to do with last night and everything to do with getting Wise a lefty hitter some at bats. Wise isn't now and wasn't doing anything before the injury Wise PH for Anderson last night cause Anderson was having bad at bats. Wise gets a lot of hate on this board. If they got equal bat bats over the course of a year, I bet Wise would have better power numbers and possibly a better batting average. BA, of course, is superior on defense.

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd rather have Clayton Richard on the mound instead of Danks. Please don't trade Richard, KW!

We're going to see Whisler today.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) Oh, and Anderson should be playing if only for the fact that Wise is an awful baseball player. Anderson has no one to blame but himself for not playing today. He sucked last night, and I'm sure Ozzie wanted to get Wise a start this wknd.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) except he doesn't He sure did last year. If he can actually put it all together, the Tigers will have an amazing 1-2-3 in their rotation for the next few years.

Pods just chased ball 4.

Oh well, I can get used to winning 2 out of 3 every series. Of course, it would sure be nice if Edwin Jackson remembered he sucks.

Yeah, we don't deserve to win this game. Nice communication there everyone. That should have been an easy catch for Wise.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) Hopefully Jordan isn't super inconsistent like Danks. Oh boy...this is going to be a long day.

Danks is freaking terrible. Cooper has his work cut out for him, as he's developing some awful tendencies on the mound again. I also hate how shallow Wise plays in CF.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) here we go, danks just throwing garbage up to this point, everything is hittable Yep, everything is up in the zone.

Ugh...leadoff hit on the 1-2 pitch. Teahen gets so many cheap hits.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) This team just doesn't want me to ever forget Juan Uribe.. Uribe's playing pretty good for San Fran

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) Bottom of our order is gonna look silly today It does most games...we're getting very little production from the 7-8-9 spots this season.

And Getz pops up the first pitch, a pitch that was way up and in.

Fields keeps getting a good hitter's count, but he just can't square up the 2-0 fastball.

Wise crushed that ball, but Maier made a nice play on it.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) Greinke has a past history of having an anxiety disorder, i'd like to see us lay down some bunts and steal some bases and get into this guys head We're not talking about Carlos Zambrano craziness on the field. Anyways, he's not John Bale. He's a terrific fielder, and we'd just be giving up outs.

Whew...not pretty, but good 1st inning.

Sometimes, there's no one else you'd rather be up than Jacobs. Huge batter here for Danks.
