tie game, you cannot bring danks back out to pitch here

YES

pitch gets away from Olivo, Pods to 3rd

Ramirez is completely baffled by Greinke, here comes another 3 pitch at-bat for Dye to leave Pods at 2nd with 2 outs

nice at bat pods, the key is to make greinke get you to 2-2 or 3-2 counts, becuase he RARELY throws a strike on 0-2 or 1-2!

danks might face one more batter, maybe 2 if he can retire them in order, i'd personally let Carrasco come in for the next inning

it'd be nice to just f***ing get out of an inning when there's 2 outs and runners on base, but it looks impossible with Danks on the mound

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 31, 2009 -> 02:25 PM) Danks has got to get that change down i was thinking the exact same thing that 1-0 pitch was an 82mph changeup basically belt-high on the corner, easily crushable

if we lose 4-3, i would consider it a moral victory, hell even 5-3 wouldn't upset me much, i don't wanna see our pitching implode on itself though, lets at least keep this game somewhat close

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Danks has got to keep it close, as KC will have to use their depleted bullpen today. if the arm fatigue arguement has any weight to it, it might not really be in his control to do, which is unfortunate as he's more/less supposed to be a #2 pitcher for us, at worst a #3 and that' sjust because of the lefty/righty/lefty (though we've got our rotation going righty/righty/lefty/lefty/lefty lately)

nice job josh

Josh's body language was somewhat troubling after that first pitch it was a fastball down the middle and, he had this "Wow, really?" look on his face What did you expect josh? he's been doing that to you every single time you've faced him, smarten up

QUOTE (G&T @ May 31, 2009 -> 02:10 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. that's a far reach to assume you're automatically right because you think you know what people mean by their comments let's get this thread back on track

Wise looks absolutely terrible, that 0-1 pitch will get doubled up i was right! and he took it wise-ly, take it again

gonna be one of those 1 run 9 hit games

if our hitters could realize that early in counts are going to be hittable pitches, maybe that could work in our favor probably not but oh well

this is danks' third year in the big leagues, i hope we don't have to continuously baby his innings because he keeps showing arm fatigue

4-1

QUOTE (G&T @ May 31, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) Tired arm from last year's over use. It happens. possible, but wouldn't that start happening a little later on in the year, it's not even june yet.

John Danks f***ing Blows.

we have some stupid hitters, my lord. how many times does it take for Dye to get a 1-2 count, and swing at a pitch that's not a strike, for him to just keep the f***ing bat on his shoulder on 1-2 counts

curve outside will get dye here

Rays take the lead over the twins 2-1

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 31, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) great game to play like garbage at least we won the series Farmer has to be fuming right now

Alexei calls everyone off, then drops it White Sox baseball
