Win!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) Darn guys, you made me look up some Danks outings. July 3 vs. Balt: 7 innings, NO runs. June 17 vs. Pitt: 7 innings, 5 measly hits, three runs. a bit farther back May 31 vs. Houston: nine innings, 0 runs. May 16 vs. Oak: 7 innings, 3 hits, 2 runs. May 10 vs Cincy: 7 inns, 6 hits one run. Now coupled with tonight, 3 of his last 5 outings were DANDY. Seriously, he's no Phil Humber; he's no Carroll. He's not batting practice, folks. He's still coming off that injury. Just cause he makes a TON of money don't hate on this player. I know he's better than Humber and Carroll, but: May 3 vs Min: 2.1 innings, 7 runs May 21 vs Cle: 5.1 innings, 5 runs May 26 vs Tor: 5 innings, 6 runs June 6 vs Det: 4.2 innings, 5 runs June 12 vs Tampa: 5.1 innings, 5 runs June 22 vs Min: 5.1 innings, 9 runs July 8 vs Tor: 4.1 innings, 6 runs

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Avi overdue for a long one. He hasn't hit a HR in 32 games.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) I hate when players get booed. I just wish a.) he'd shave his beard. That would probably win him some fans. b.) Sox trade him to an NL team ASAP. For whatever they can get. Pay a couple million of his salary. True I despise his ability and his beard, but I don't despise the man. Don't boo him, folks. He's at least trying. Trade him. Do everybody a favor. I agree with your stance on booing. True fans never boo their own players at games.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Danks is either really bad (most of the time) or really good. He doesn't really have an in between. He's the JR Smith of pitching

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) I (still) worship John Danks. Anybody ready to join Greg on the Danks bandwagon ... yet? Another very good outing for Danks. John Danks had a 6.15 ERA in his previous 6 starts prior to tonight.

damn it

please don't strike out or hit into a double play

The anti-Royal!

Hosmer's haircut pisses me off. As does Bryce Harper's

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:39 PM) Hard to believe Volquez is still out there. I thought he was losing his command last inning. You may be right. Single for Sanchez, now 2-3 tonight

6 outs to go

Robin arguing with the HP ump...

Danks always turns in a QS when we don't expect it

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Carroll was ineligible to be called up because he was sent down less than 10 days ago and there were no injuries. Johnson pitched in the AAA All Star Game on Wednesday and would not be prepared to pitch today. I thought the rule was 7 days and not 10, but I guess I was wrong. And I feel like there must have been other options at AAA rather than calling him all the way up from AA.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) You're not going to see Montas unless one of these teams scores 6 runs Why would we have called him up over Carroll or Johnson for one day and not have him pitch

I'll take it

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Pull him. Only at 90ish pitches, I think they give him another inning, then Montas

How did Melky beat that tag...

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Give Danks his due against his favorite patsies . Do KC fans call him Cy Danks ? I wish Guthrie pitched tonight instead of tomorrow. Cy Danks vs Cy Guthrie. 1-0 loss in extra innings.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) QS for Danks. Wow Don't jinx it. A 5-run 7th could be looming.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) He really is like the anti Royal. Yeah, a subpar defender, bad baserunner, inconsistent hitter... weird signing for them.

Sale AND Quintana to the Cubs for Bryant, Soler, Castro, Schwarber, Edwards, McKinney, Baez, Steele, Vogelbach, and Almora.

He's clearly playing hurt.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) And much, much worse offensively. It's sad. Would have loved to see his glove in the bigs. Yeah, he's hitting like .170 at high-A... jeez
