Gotta keep the ball in the park. Looks like he's pitched great, but the main negative with Danks so far is his homer ratio. Oh well, the more we lose, the more heat that will come onto KW for neglecting the 2007 Sox.

 

21 year old, throwing a lot of strikes with out pinpoint control will give up homers. It happens. He is attacking the zone, and not backing down. He will learn control. In a perfect world he would of had more time in the minors to refine his craft. But he gives us the best chance to win in the 5th starter. And shows a heart of gold, and plus stuff.

I'm willing to wait another 80 or so years. I would like to enjoy good baseball in the wait tho... and this is not good baseball.

 

I really hope that come July, I'm not in root against Cubs mode compared to watching every second of the Sox game. We desperately need to find a way to come back from this road trip still within 5 games.

I have a good feeling about our offense this inning!

Yep, which is why you want to see him maybe develop more cut or sink to his fastball as he matures.

Is Aardsma in the doghouse? Seems like he's being used a lot less frequently. I hate seeing MacDougal on the mound two straight games, especially in trailing situations. I'm a big fan of MacDougal's, but you have to be careful with him.

 

Lol I was actually wondering that myself, but I looked and Mac has pitched 9.3 innings(before today) and Aardsma over 15. It seems like he always uses Aarsdma when we are behind and Mac in the key situations.

Time for the lift and pull approach.

He has a little cut on righties, but it would be nice to see some sink on a 2 seemer. Im sure he will come around in that respect.

I'm shocked that our only runs at this ball park only scored via the homer. We've always talked about the homer or nothing approach, but it really is amazing to see this year.

"Everybody's working for the homer"

Uribe starts off the year well, and even he is down below .225 now. I never thought I'd see the day where the Mariners lineup looks twice as good as the Sox's does.

It's too bad Guillen is gonna let Erstad hit here.

I'm a big fan of Greg Walker but whatever he's trying with these guys isn't working. Sox need to bite the bullet and re-assign him in the organization or just let him go.

Time to make a change Kenny. Walk must go. Please do something before the season is lost. We are a month in, and we havent come around. We are wasting some of the best pitching we have had in awhile.

can't do anything right.

We're getting beat by a guy with a girl's name.

If we had pitching like this in the 2nd half of last season, we make the playoffs.

GWINAGHC.

Our pitching was a lot better in the 2nd half last year.

Kenny has been silent for too long. He needs to do something or say something before this season goes farther into the hole.

How many games out will we be on June 1st?

O RLY?

Possibly, but it's not like our offense was going nuts during the 2nd half of last year. I respect your opinion though, and it's interesting to see you calling for someone's head right now.

I'd love to see a double here.

Maybe not be silent during the offseason?

He better be banging his head against a wall.
