Danks is probably the only pitcher in our starting rotation that could get out of a jam like that, though he definitely had some help. Alexei made that routine grounder interesting, as he usually does

Good job by Danks. D still a bit shaky, but did not implode that time

However, the problem is that Danks has now thrown 63 pitches...partially thanks to Swisher...and we will have to use our entire bullpen today, as he'll be lucky to make it through five and maybe six innings today.

 

Which means we'll have to use 1-2 relievers that OG would just as soon leave overlooked down in the bullpen.

 

 

He did, proving your negative azz wrong!!

 

 

Nothing negative about what I wrote just an opinion that I am happ to say was not in line with final events

Original Gangsta likes to leave the men in the pen.

Toby owns all.

Thjat weas an intersting at bat by Uribe. Took 3 straight balls and then took three straight strikes

Lack of speed kills.

Damn I wish Toby could run.

A base hit here, scores two.

Swisher so f***ing worthless.

Swisher so f***ing worthless.

 

It's especially painful watching him bat right handed.

Swisher has been a joke these last 2 games

Thanks, Swisher. Seems like he doesn't much since the walk-off against Zumaya.

 

He just can't seem to keep it going for an extended period of time this year....hot for a week or two, then cools off again.

Are we sure Hall could have scored on a base hit?

He was the one on third, but we will never know.

Another leadoff double, and Alexei can't catch a f***ing ball all game, this is ridiculous.

Man I thought for sure we would have a pretty good defense but they have been such a letdown this season.

Danks looks terrible today.

wow. we are gonna be two games back by the end of this series. We again are trying to give the A's the lead.

I need to vent for a second.

 

The pathetic defense is killing this team and hitters that are unable to contribute consistently are trotted out there while defensive players sit and watch.

 

I have never seen a team that drops as many pop ups as the White Sox. They look like an 8 year old team out there on defense.

 

The inconsistency on offense is another issue.

 

There is no reason why this team should not average 5 runs a game with the way Ramirez, Quentin and Dye are going. The at-bats that are simply given away with poor appraoches and lame attempts are nausiating. There is no reason way Brian Anderson neer starts over players hitting below .235 and have no defensive ability.

 

That's all.

Danks is pitching scared this inning. That or he has nothing.

Danks is falling off the mound, circa last season.

Danks is burying himself and his team.

Man I thought for sure we would have a pretty good defense but they have been such a letdown this season.

 

It goes unnoticed with the rest of the defensive blunders, but Alexei's defense has been brutal since the ASB.
