Why are we playing the bums against Boston when we have Minnesota starting tomorrow?

Ever since that horrible Angels start Rodon has been very inconsistent

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Tonight is just Boston's night. Rodon got squeezed a bit. I'd say. Bucholz gets every pitch on or slightly off the corner

Zaaaaaach Duuuuuuke on to give up the 3 run HR

Miguel Gonzalez has been serviceable much more recently than Lincecum. And Gonzalez did it in the AL, Lincecum has never been an AL guy. Don't think he'd be any good here.

I'd rather get Lucroy

If you lose a challenge you shouldn't get additional reviews upon request like that. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having 1 challenge?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 24s25 seconds ago The #Whitesox asked Danks to go to the minors but he declined But given claims of so many posters here he was a "team player". Glad they dumped him now. No need for him to mope around in the bullpen.

Why is Duke still being asked to get high leverage outs? I would've left Albers in to face Davis he's our best reliever to this point.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) I feel like this needs its own thread so I can just gush unabashedly but if Eaton keeps this up the Sox are going to get like a bajillion dollars in excess value out of that contract. Strangely they have a ton of great players locked up on team friendly deals like Abreu, Sale, Quintana, Eaton and in spite of that they're too cheap or stubborn to get rid of overpaid non-performers.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) Just put him on the DL and see what happens in a month with the No. 5 starter slot. The fans despise him so why trot him out there to likely fail? The DL he can still get paid and build arm strength or learn how to be a reliever. Would be really dumb to be in the race all year and get to the end of the season and say "Wow if we only gave someone other than Danks a shot in the first half, we only came up a few games short". Give someone else a chance. 60 day DL fine but I don't want him seeing another start unless he has an ERA below 3 in Charlotte in at least 2-3 rehab starts.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) How exactly did Hawk "Trash" Danks tonight? He said "Danks can't pitch from behind" He said "Danks didn't have his good stuff or control tonight?" How exactly did he "Trash" Danks? "get rid of him" "another rocket, what else?"

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Ha Ha. EXACTLY...it gets nauseating hearing Hawk complain about the umps when Danks flat out stinks and has no ability to overcome ANYTHING. It does not matter how awful the ump was that AB. Danks stinks, Hawk should blame it on that. Hawk's whining over the years has become tiresome. It was very nice to get a break from him. I don't think I've ever heard Hawk trash a player on air like he did tonight with Danks. Extremely rare to hear

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Just noticed the boxscore and jumped in. There haven't been any of these excuses for Danks tonight, right? he just had one bad inning it would have been (x runs) if the defense had done their job Can't win games scoring (x runs) Who else would we have as the 5th starter? This one

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) This is a bad post. you can do better than an ad-hominem

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:33 PM) Does Danks really seem to you like a guy who would go up there and say 'f*** it, Imma suck this year'? I have never heard anything bad about Danks' personality. Has he done anything to clean up his delivery to locate pitches better or add new pitches to get guys out? He hasn't been good for a long time now. Looks like he's just out there to collect his paycheck.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:15 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 We're not stuck with anyone. If we have to watch the #5 struggle I want it to be with a young guy who might have a future with the team. Not a soon to be FA who is out of baseball next year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) If Miguel Gonzalez has a couple good starts in AAA while Danks has a couple more bad starts, that probably would be it. It would be nice if Buehrlle was secretly getting in shape and wanted to come back, but I highly doubt it. Couple more bad starts? I'll pass he's done

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Gonzalez already took his last start. Wish we now would have skipped him entirely. Turner or EJ already. Can it really get any worse?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) If someone could please get on video Hawk saying "get rid of him" I'd be forever in your debt Better yet get a video of the game and make a montage of negative hawk comments from this game about danks

Gonzalez was terrible and I never want to see him again but this is worse

There another meatball 5-2 O's

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) Did hawk just say get rid of Danks? LOL Yes he did Where are the Danks apologists now

Johnny meatball ball strikes again 4-2 O's

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Brett Lawrie loves falling down. To be fair, that double play wasn't getting turned either way. He scored from first on that double
