Sorry, I don't rally care if people judge me for this, but I hope like f*** Britton is injured.

Alright Sanchez, keep this inning alive bud.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) The risk to the clubhouse is nowhere near worth whatever benefit AJ would bring. And as said above, he was jettisoned quickly after Ventura took over. There were definitely some rumors of bad blood between Robin & A.J.

The Sox aren't stupid. Danks was already walking a tight rope with his diminished stuff and average-at-best command. Now that his stuff has further diminished, there's really no hope for success. Unless the velocity comes back and comes back soon, the Sox will make a change in the near future. At bare minimum, they'll put him on the DL and give some of the AAA guys an opportunity. Also, Robin is saying all the things a good manager should say when it comes to a high-character, long-tenured veteran. Ripping a guy like Danks to the media wouldn't go over well in the clubhouse. It's up to Rick & KW to play bad cop and make a change.

Mods, if I'm breaking any rules, by all means delete my game thread. Just figured with the luck I've had this season (11-0 in non-Danks starts), it was a worth a shot to see if I can keep the good mojo going. Has never been my intention to be a game thread hog.

Time to stop the bleeding and beat these f***s. Go Sox!

f*** yes Lawrie! Tie game! And people need to stop with the "game over" posts when we're down by one with 9 outs left. This team has scored like 50% of their after the 6th inning. This team isn't going to quit like apparently half the posters in these game threads.

His walk rate was horrible in the first half of last season at AA before showing improvement. Let's give him another month before we panic, he needs to learn how to hit the junk he's seeing in AAA before he knows what to lay off.

Agree. Time to finally part ways with Danks.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:15 PM) Great comment. I am betting they stuck with Danks until at least the end of June. Maybe he can be the long relief guy if he can't get squared away He can't even touch 90 MPH anymore. The dude is beyond cooked.

This game is far from over, but they have to decide if they want to burn the bullpen in attempting a comeback. With a chance of a rainout over the weekend I say do it. Sticking with Danks another couple innings is guaranteeing a loss.

We just got to hope that Danks feels the pressure of Gonzalez at his heels and actually brings it tonight or at least keeps us in the game. Dude is beyond due for a solid start.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:26 AM) Mike is correct I'm an idiot, thought you meant Carlos Sanchez and I was thinking I somehow missed him being called up.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:47 AM) Baltimore has definitely cooled off. Let's make it 3 offenses in a row we shut down. Edit- Also I'm pretty sure Robin said he wanted Sanchez to start yesterday or today so that means Sanchez gets the nod today. Hopefully he's not too bad but this game doesn't strike much confidence. Nonetheless Sanchez? Do you mean Saladino?

Time for Danks to man up and win us a f***ing game! Go Sox!!!!!!!
