Wait, did Robin just take out Paulie or did he need to go have a seat while the new pitcher warms up?

Paulie! Paulie!! Paulie!!!

Quickly, sign a Cuban free agent and get him here pronto

Who is this Alexei Ramirez guy? Taking pitches, getting a walk. Not chasing..

Abreu has been awesome today.. Love that he is getting hits that aren't home runs!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) It's not the team. Danks just never is going to be the same. And that's yet one more reason why we have to be a bit careful with the payroll than non-strategically throwing money at the dartboard of mid-tier free agent pitchers. We already have one of our own who's mediocre at best. We don't need another one. I know Danks has had pretty bad stuff. But that was a bad play by Abreu and Semien should have stayed on his feet for that ground ball.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 7, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) Lol. That was two feet off the line. Good 3b have that easily. He needed to stay on his feet and backhand it and step on 3rd.. I think he thought the ball was hit harder and his first reaction was to dive for hit.

Oh this team sometimes...

Bad move by Abreu.

Does Danks not want to win??

QUOTE (Iguchicago @ May 7, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) Boston didn't really help Marcus there. He wasn't even looking. Yeah, the 1B coach needs to be more involved. I don't think Boston is that good over there.

Thank you Gordon Beckham!! Please tell me you are turning things around!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 7, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) Semien plz go to AAA tonight call Conor up see ya. Danks is already gone for Conor

What the hell is wrong with our base running

Wood is the perfect pitcher for these Cubans to kill

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!
