I'll take a bet that Danks will be second on our team for the most K's. He has givin up some homers but he has also K'ing an impressive rate.

Change down below the knees.

thats what I thought... usually bats go flying on those type of pitches.

Danks still isn't pitching bad though.

If Brandon McCarthy was doing the same thing for the Rangers, we would have a ton of people saying how he is never going to be anything. Danks has now allowed 3 long balls.

2 runs thru 2 isn't bad. We couldn't expect him to hold the Indians down. What's the chances of an Erstad 4-3 this inning?

 

Chances are....better than remote!

i'll be pleased if john can keep his era south of 5 for the season, honestly he isn't the make or break for this team, just keep us in the game is all i ask.

I'll take your bet. Danks is going to be in Charlotte most of the summer.

Probably looking at a 5-inning effort from Danks today.

At this rate, Konerko will be 2nd.

The thing is alot of people here liked BMac. I think you mean Ozzie will say he'll never ammount to anything.

I thought Barfield's was on a high change. I'm just not impressed with his offspeed stuff at all. He seems to have no command.

He has very good offspeed stuff... but like you said, he is having trouble with his command.

Awful first time thru the order. Way too many strike outs so far.

I love the overreacting on a 22 year old making his 2nd overall start in the majors.

 

 

Number 2 guys, against one of the best hitting teams in baseball. Take a deep breath. Remember also, this is the fifth starter. In 05 take a peak at how El Duque did. It wasnt all roses and smiles from him.

Byrd on pace for 10+ strikeouts in this game. That's pitiful.

There are a lot of people that say he allows too many homers, obviously feeling that it is something he will never be able to improve upon.

GIVE DANKS THAT PITCH

what was wrong with that pitch (ball 2)? I wish there was a formal k zone.

I'll take your bet. Danks is going to be in Charlotte most of the summer.

 

 

Wager?

Weren't his homer rates high in the minors?

Our offense blows right now.

I like how Byrd has that old school windup...

We go from a senior citizen to a 22 year old rookie. I love it.

Our offense blows right now.

 

I have no clue how we've won 4 out of 6 games.

That's the second most thing I hate about Pods when he bats.

 

1. K's looking pathetically

2. Takes a weak swing and pops out, or short pop up to left.

What else is new??? Erstad needs a day off.

I have no clue how we've won 4 out of 6 games.

 

The same way we did in 05. Except we pretty much did it for the whole year.
