southsideirish71 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, which is why you want to see him maybe develop more cut or sink to his fastball as he matures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited May 2, 2007 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
