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.

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.
