April 16, 200422 yr He has given up one run through one inning; little too early to lose hope. By the fifth we should see how Wright does when the pitch count starts to mount and players begin to see him for the third time. If Danny pitches into the 7th I would consider it a f***ing miracle.

Nothing to do with tonight he is not starter material.
April 16, 200422 yr 14 wins in one season would speak otherwise. Well... Todd Ritchie did win 15 once, and Jaime Navarro won 14 or more games 4 times in his career.
April 16, 200422 yr Author 14 wins in one season would speak otherwise. 1-7 with a 6.17 era in 86 inn last year tells me different and he looks so good again tonight lost as usual, time to pull the plug on DW.
April 16, 200422 yr 14 wins in one season would speak otherwise. His career ERA is in high 5.50+ Win total is not = good indication of pitching worth. DW is terrible and I said as much during the NYY start. Get him to the pen.
April 16, 200422 yr 14 wins in one season would speak otherwise. 5.18 ERA, ahem. If it was up to me I wouldn't even have Wright on the roster, I loathe when he pitches. He just throws because he doesn't have a damn clue how to pitch.
April 16, 200422 yr 1-7 with a 6.17 era in 86 inn last year tells me different and he looks so good again tonight lost as usual, time to pull the plug on DW. ANyone who actually think the kid was healthy last year, is posting on here from their brand-new-internet-equiped-short-bus.
April 17, 200422 yr Danny is a punk-ass choker: waits until he gives up the lead and only THEN starts getting curveballs over strikes. This 2003-esque garbage has GOT to stop -- instead of running D-Rays over 3 straight and coming into the Yankee home series on a 9-3 roll, the team looks lethargic, not picking up breaking ball rotation and jamming themselves. I've seen this for 3 years now....Oh great, Konerko just flies out meekly on a 3-1 count. :puke :puke :puke

April 17, 200422 yr Case in point: Danny lets the first two hitters get on with a walk and a hit. Goes 3-1 on the next batter who absolutely smokes the ball right at Konerko for a DP. The next batter lines the ball and only Lee's diving show-string catch saves the RBI triple. No runs scored, so that's a good thing right? WRONG: when you pitch like s***, major leaguers are gonna crush you. Luck will only save you for so long. Danny is pitching like crap. No excuse.

PK flipped the bat with his head down and half-trotted toward first base. If we see that too much it can only mean bad news.
April 17, 200422 yr Damn, it's almost unfair: Danny is bailed out by ANOTHER excellent defensive play, this time by Perez. He literally doesn't deserve this luck. HR going just foul, line out DP, pick-off, diving catch, runner gunned down at 3rd.....And still gives up 3 ER to D-Rays in 4 innings. Ozzie is right to take him out. Even if Cotts gets killed, Danny's ineptitude should not be tolerated.
April 17, 200422 yr I think Danny Wright is suited for middle relief when the sox are up by 5 runs or down by five runs. If we have to stay in the org, lets reach down and bring up Rauch. For the last three years we have been waiting for Wright to get his s*** together. The guy will not be getting better soon. Launch him
April 17, 200422 yr Wright won 14 in 2002. How'd that happen? Bashing DW is boring. I'd rather cheer for him.
April 17, 200422 yr Wright won 14 in 2002. How'd that happen? Bashing DW is boring. I'd rather cheer for him. Yes he did, and he still had control problems. He has done nothing since, I realize there was an injury, but maybe starting pitching is not the position for him. I realize the smiley face we should all put on, we are 6-3 with some thrilling wins. We have momentum, we have a team concept, and then we have to deal with a lousy 5th starter. As I see on the board I am certianly not the only one complaining about Wright. Quite frankly I wish he was better, but I do believe that a person runs out of chances.
April 17, 200422 yr Do I wish his record were better? Yes of course. But when everyone is screaming I can't hear a word. he has tons of potential. No one here has ever won 14. I'd rather wish him well than bash him.
April 17, 200422 yr Wright won 14 in 2002. How'd that happen? Bashing DW is boring. I'd rather cheer for him. So? How? Very f***ing simple: Had a 6.00 ERA in the first half. Sox fell out of contention. In pressure-free situations, Danny stopped sucking badly and somehow managed to bring it down to still bad 5.20. In 2003 he was even worse -- much worse. This year, worse still. Boring, eh? Tell me, how do you like losing the s***tiest division that ever s***tied by a few games in September partly because a mental gimp choker scumbag Wright is missing strikezone by feet and is afraid of his own shadow? I bet you find it exciting, don't you? If you cheer for him like you cheer for Jose...please don't.
April 17, 200422 yr How many games can you win with ZERO run support??? not many the final score was 3-0 I suggest only getting one runner to 2nd and that in the first inning was more of a factor in losing than DW's pitching
