QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) One of him and Stanley will be there. I don't think both the Giants and Ravens pass on a tackle though and he's going to be the first off the board, I'd think. Not sure if you've seen it but the long talked about video finally leaked just before the draft, on his twitter account. http://deadspin.com/laremy-tunsil-s-accoun...-vid-1773721598

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) Oh Laremy Probably going to be there at #11 now.

B>W, thoughts on the Goff going #1?

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. It's really, really hard to be worse than this version of John Danks.

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. They really can't run Danks out there again after this.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) Danksy is done, thank you for game 163. Stone actually referenced this game on the radio last week as a reason for optimism, that's when I knew for certain he was done.

Holy f***, please, spare us of this torture. This is really hard to watch.

Alright, I've seen enough, please let this be the end.

Brett Lawrie loves falling down.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) According to Statcast the average exit velocity against Danks last year was well below average. It made me optimistic for this year, but everyone is hitting him hard. He took 5 balls in that AB and somehow didn't draw a walk.

1 positive: when Danks elevates the fastball tonight he's hitting the very top of the zone or just above. He's not leaving them belt high with 2 strikes.

New inning, more mid 80's nibbling.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) Avi swung at the good pitch to hit and let the others go by. Progress. His AB's have been much improved lately, he appears to have a much better feel for the strike zone right now, he was 100% guessing for most of April.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Truly believe they pull the plug on Danks if he gets rocked again It sucks because I love the guy but I think he's toast, I'm not how much of a future he even has in this league at this point. Someone's always willing to give a one-time-good lefty a shot but Danks just has nothing left. His stuff is just so weak and he doesn't have nearly good enough command to make up for it, he just nibbles himself to death because he can't attack hitter like he wants to.

The White Sox just converted a relay from the CF fence. I don't recognize this team.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:23 PM) Great sequence to Trumbo. K! I really like that curveball he dropped on him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Danks needs to have his control, so far, not there. It's early but he's sitting at about 86 as well, topping out at 88. This is a very bad combination.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) Over their last 162 games the Astros are 78-84. The Sox are 84-78.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) What is the deal with Gibbons and starting pitchers? Remember the fight on the field with Ted Lilly? Yep, the man's clearly a clown. He's the last want guy I'd want managing Marcus Stroman, aside from maybe Dusty.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:20 PM) So remember when Gibbons just decided to pretend he didn't have a bullpen and just left an obviously tired/hurt Estrada in to get to 118 pitches? Here's his SP postgame: For all the s*** I give RV, he's never done something 1/2 as stupid and "I'm trying to get fired" as that BS. Way to protect your players, moron. I'd have fired gibbons the second the game ended. He left him in for like 3 innings after Estrada started showing discomfort then compounded it by extending him for the longest outing of his career. One of the worst cases of manager negligence I can remember. Pretty much all media covering the game were talking about it in the 4th inning, it was pretty clear Estrada was injured. You don't f*** around with shoulders, that's how you end careers.

At least to this point Rick Hahn had one hell of an offseason.

Wow

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) Just as confused as you are. Thought he was out as well. Webb is the definition of a AAAA pitcher. One was used in '12 and another in '14 so he had one left. He almost had 2 left; he spent 25 total days in the minors in 2014, 6 less days and it wouldn't have burned an option.

63% on FiveThirtyEight, best in the AL. Projections still love the Indians and their young rotation/Lindor, though.
