God damn it. I really wish theyd be a bit more patient seeing as he's walking so many people. At least make him throw a strike before you swing

 

Crazy stat, as Dye has gone 14 games without drawing a walk.

Theres nothing wrong with being a free swinger. Alexei and CQ have a done a good job being that way all year. Its just like, know your situation. The pitcher has been wild all day, its a close game, a runner on first and no outs who just walked, 1-0 count, make him throw a little bit. Everyone. The'yre not facing a Maddux/Radke/Wells who you know wont be walking you

s***

Damn

What a terrible pitch...why would you throw him a 3-2 fastball? Danks has been up with everything the last two innings...get someone up in the pen now.

With the pitch count it is probably his last inning anyways.

Goes 2-0 to the first 3 hitters.

Aybar just did him a favor

Sure did....big time...

 

The enthusiasm in the crowd just died on that second caught stealing.

If our lineup could execute tonight, that solo homer may not of meant as much.

Nice catch by Griffey out there. That really better be it for Danks, as he seemed to hit the wall after the 4th.

Nice catch by Jr. but he looks pretty slow out there...

 

Seriously Alexei, take some pitches.

3 ABs for Alexei, 4 pitches.

Time for HR # 2 by Griff.

lexi's starting to believe the hype

Swish got nothing but off speed pitches that AB.

Why the hell is he still in there?

Leadoff double off of Danks. Why is he still in this game? Everything he's throwing is up in the zone, and Thornton's warming up.

Terrible Ozzie, simply f***ing terrible managing tonight.

I had no problem with him starting the inning, but after the lead off double, had to yank him.

wow

Please don't call Quentin a free swinger.

ozzie guillen can be such a f***ing joke as a manager

The last 12 batters Danks face, he gave up:

 

- single on a hanging slider

- deep fly out to center on pitch up in zone

- fly out to left on pitch up in the zone

- triple on fastball down the plate

- ground out

- homer

- strike out after falling behind 2-0

- fly out on 2-0 count

- deep fly out to center

- double on hanging change

- line out to 1b

- double to deep LF
