I like Nieto's swing.. I think he can be pretty good with some more time.

Nice job by Abreu!

Looks like Danks doesn't have confidence in his change up. Should have thrown it on 3-2

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) So Danks still hasn't given up a hit, yet we have several posts saying he has nothing and one poster saying he can hit him. He really hasn't had much. He is facing the Cubs...

ESPN guys talking about Sale and how he looked good in his 55 pitch bullpen session. Will pitch a simulated game Saturday. Showed a little video of him and he looks good.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) seriously, john danks has f***ing nothing. If the Cubs can't hit him, they should probably cancel the rest of their MLB season.' lol, and a swing through a grooved 87mph fastball. Man, I could hit that. He really doesn't have much control over his pitches... I couldn't even tell you if he has thrown a cutter well

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) Nice to see so early in game. Imagine if Beckham took some pitches.

Damn.. Good first inning though. Especially after those first two at bats

Last 4 AB's have been great

Cubans will just take this game over!!! We need some more!

I love having Abreu-Viciedo-Ramirez batting back to back to back

How is Abreu not killing these fastballs down the middle and on the outside portion of the plate? He hit the curveball though! Nice!

So with Beckham batting lead off why is De Aza batting 2nd?

Lead off hitter reaching for a pitch for only a 2 pitch at bat..

Danks really doesn't have good stuff anymore.. It just looks soft and he can't control it very well.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2014 -> 06:10 PM) I'm making a last minute decision to head down to Comiskey. Hopefully Danks doesn't have one of those 1st innings where he lets up 2-4 runs. I wish I had this luxury.

I can't come up with any words to say regarding to Beckham hitting first.... This is all I got: :angry:

Thanks Cubs for getting us back to .500!! Time to win the next 2 games and never look back..

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) Hanson 6 ip, 6 h, 0 er, 2 bb, 1 hbp, 5 k 94 pitches, 59 strikes Right now it doesn't look like we need him but he is good insurance for when/if one of these guys starts to suck

We are up 4.. Just throw some strikes.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) Cleto? When is the last time he pitched?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Nice job taking an uppercut Mr. Danks! We needed a fly ball and got a deep one. Wait... He always has an uppercut swing

When Beckham, Sierra, and Danks go a combined 9 for 9 at the plate you know it is your game

Hey! He hit an off speed pitch! Woooo! Progress!

You got to be kidding me!!!! Thank you Beckham!!! All is forgiven............ For now......
