And a walk to the 9 hitter to lead off the inning

Rollins should have walked that was ball 4

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) Truly believe they pull the plug on Danks if he gets rocked again Well on his way to getting rocked again. Everything hard hit + walks once again

Looks like the rocket man stanks didn't get his dank before this start

Gibbons should've been gone a long time ago for that Get em out!!!

Bottom 3 in the order do it again!

That's why you don't kill your tired pitcher out there. No wonder he was grabbing his shoulder.

How has Gibbons not gotten ejected already. That's the 2nd time complaining about balls and strikes

1 hit off this guy's 89 mph meatballs. Get it together.

3rd time through the order Estrada is going to get lit up. 89 mph meatballs once he starts to tire.

Eaton saves another run with that play with no outs.

Eaton has so much range in RF it's ridiculous

Gotta get at least one there

Matt "The Cat" Albers. It's going to stick

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) eh, you're more than welcome to sort trough the old game threads! Most recent was Duke v Beltre when albers was available. It worked out for the Sox so nobody remembers. Good players make a good team and Duke bailed him out. Also playing Sands at 1B where he had 2 bad picks one of which almost cost us a game.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Looked to me like whatever "bad luck" had had on BABIP it was neutralized by his HR/FB% luck. Could have easily given up 3 bombs instead of just long doubles. He was leaving a lot of balls up and the Jays were crushing them. That said, overall his stuff is better than Danks' if he can sit at 90-91mph on his heater, and he was doing that last night for the most part. He looks like a guy who would benefit from a cutter. His fastball is just too straight and doesn't have enough velocity to get it by hitters when he needs to throw a strike

I'm not a Gonzalez fan or a Danks fan but I wonder if some of the people saying Gonzalez got unlucky actually watched the whole game.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Gonzalez basically sucked, but he actually threw some good pitches and got some key outs - could have been worse. I'd give him another chance It seemed like every one of their hits was a rocket off the bat. Not to mention barely escaped giving up 2-3 more HR. If they weren't all hard hit I'd feel better about giving him another shot but I wasn't too impressed even considering the opponent.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) I'm not ready to write off Gonzalez. Will be interesting in July if we can truly stack our team with a fifth starter He could've easily given up 3-4 HR in this one.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) He technically pitched good enough to for us to win. That's usually the excuse we trot out for Danks right? He didn't pitch good enough to win. He pitched in line with what our #5 starter has been giving us, which is garbage.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Eaton is the best defensive OF in baseball. Believe it. What a difference having two CF's in the outfield compared to previous seasons.

Wow that was a great slide by Abreu. Kind of questionable to tag there but it worked out.

Man this team is something. If we could just add a little more talent we're set
