Really, Danks is looking dank. I love his turn around this year.. I just hope he keeps it up.

danks looks fantastic once again. if you notice, his changeup is amazing, you cannot tell by his delivery WHAT pitch it is, it looks like it could be anything out of his hand

lol uribe.

 

edit: lol, makes contact! pulls a pitch wayyyyyyyyyyy outside, to the 3rd baseman baseball acumen at it's finest.

Haha, Uribe couldn't have tried harder to pull that pitch. I really can't believe we didn't let him go when the Dodgers claimed him.

lol uribe.

.164/.222/.269......and dropping...wow...sub .500 ops

0-3 for the worst collection of 7/8/9 Sox hitters in organization history.

Is it ok for us to criticize Uribe now that he's not batting 9th in the order?

im certain there was a lineup last year that had uribe andy gonzalez and either hall or molina....and what was worse was that erstad and maybe pods were in that lineup

At this point in time, Gonzalez is better than Ramirez. Also, in terms of batting average, Erstad/Pods >>>> Swisher.

Nick Swisher needs to start hitting, and hitting for some power. It's like Luis Castillo minus the speed.

His timing is so off. We faced so many wild pitchers during the first few weeks, and he became too patient.

Honestly, you can't expect Uribe to do PK and Thome's jobs. It is pretty bad to be depending on Uribe...

I just realized something....if you are a Sox fan in your 70s or 80s, Hawk would be the perfect announcer for you. Every story deals with players from 30 years ago. If you want to talk about players who would have put up bigger numbers if they were at different ball parks, why not talk about Barry Bonds or Jeff Kent, etc?

I believe that was a Sunday that we got shut out (day after my wedding actually)/

this one might be worse...

from August 8 last year vs. cleveland

 

Owens, Fields, Konerko, Dye, Erstad, Gonzalez, podsednik, uribe, hall

 

when that lineup turned over from 5,6,7,8,9,1...ouch

Wow -- Danks hitting 93.

Alright Danksy!!

Lost 4-1...Dye hit a HR in the 8th, but yeah it was a sunday...

I think he will hit for a decent average so I'm not worried about that. But I hope the move to leadoff didn't mess with his approach as I would really like to see him hit for some power. I'm not saying "lift & pull" but he had a lot of doubles last season so he's probably been hitting some line drives.

 

Plus I hope the guy's not shrinking.

He's from Oakland....those guys don't have a good history of holding up once they're away from there.
