Time for Swisher to step up.

Alexei really needs to calm down on 2nd base. There's no way that's not distracting.

Ugh @ OC. Why did he even take the bat off his shoulder on that check swing for strike 2. Pitch was never a strike.

come on Swish....

Good time here for a hit&run. OC can handle the bat

 

 

I apologize

Swish and his wet newspaper swing.

That's a horrid last two atbats

Swisher hits a "rocket" at 2nd base. Is that 4 times today we've had 1st and 2nd with 1 out?

2-0 with a guy having trouble hitting the strike zone, why is he even swinging there?

He's just a bad hitter.

I was going to make a smart remark about Swisher and Konerko's bating averages meting each other real soon, but you say he hit it hard at least?

Swisher's had multiple hits in multiple games only twice this season.

No...it was about as soft a chopper as you can hit. Just a pathetic swing on a 2-0 pitch.

Next thing you know Danks still out there and 1 pitch out in bottom sixth. 100 for Danks today

Swisher's had multiple hits in multiple games only twice this season.

He really doesn't even hit the ball hard right now. Soft grounders and pop-ups, there is no reason Anderson shouldn't be given some playing time.

Glad Danks is still in. This game is important enough and this bullpen has been bad enough.

Whoa! I never knew that. Horrible offensive display by Swisher this year. I thought we were gettin better when he came over

The more I hear Leo Mazzone analyze, the more I think that Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux would have been great even if Nardi Contreras was their pitching coach.

I figured he get one more inning, but I assume if someone gets on he's out of there

Danks has seemed to find a groove right now. I know he is gonna be up there in pitch count, but I'd let him go one more inning, but ready to pull him after an at-bat.

1-2-3

Great inning for Danks!!

Operative word against Casilla (what was his original name before his Visa thing?) is patience. Take 1 strike at least.

Was thinking the same thing. He didn't throw many pitches in the 6th so let him have the 7th, or we can score a ton of runs and go to the pen
