It has nothig to do with last night and everything to do with getting Wise a lefty hitter some at bats. Wise isn't now and wasn't doing anything before the injury

 

Wise PH for Anderson last night cause Anderson was having bad at bats. Wise gets a lot of hate on this board. If they got equal bat bats over the course of a year, I bet Wise would have better power numbers and possibly a better batting average. BA, of course, is superior on defense.

Tired arm from last year's over use. It happens.

 

possible, but wouldn't that start happening a little later on in the year, it's not even june yet.

4-1

Everything is up in the zone. Of course, nice we pitch to Olivo with a base open and 2 outs. I'd take my chances with DeJesus.

I would argue that point with you, but I know Wise can show some good lumber at times. Defense yes BA is superior, but DW gives it his all

I don't know if there are rules about it. I do know that he can't get the ball down and that's usually the result of a tired arm.

thank you. everyone calm the f*** down. John Danks does not suck. He's not TERRIBLE! he's a young pitcher who went a ton more innings last year than he had previously. Regression is natural. jesus.

So put me in the camp who's officially worried about Danks. He's looking like the pitcher we saw in 2007 again, and unlike Floyd, who seems to have pitched better than his numbers show, Danks is the opposite.

If he has a tired arm now I would be worried. I tend to think it is really more of not locating his pitches and maybe poor pitch selection. He gets in trouble and can't get out of it until at least 2 or 3 runs score on him

this is danks' third year in the big leagues, i hope we don't have to continuously baby his innings because he keeps showing arm fatigue

No one is saying he's a terrible pitcher. He's just terrible right now.

Please give us a break. I don't think anyone hates Danks. I think he is a star pitcher in the making but he isn't showing it this year so far

go back over the last few pages. multiple people, yourself included i believe, said "john danks is freaking (or f***ing) terrible"

 

let's just relax a bit is all i'm saying.

It would be fantastic if Thome gets locked in. This coming home stand will make or break our season.

Yes, and did anyone say "Danks is terrible and he should be demoted/released/traded for McCarthy".

dont fall back on this crap, all you guys did was rip him for 2 straight pages

 

 

This thread reminds me constantly why I love the chat so much, its a damn shame I cant access it while at work and I have to read the nonsense instead.

if our hitters could realize that early in counts are going to be hittable pitches, maybe that could work in our favor

 

probably not but oh well

Yes, we're ripping because he's looked terrible this season from basically his 4th start on. His mechanics are totally screwed, and after that start in Anaheim, I think we were hopeful he would start to improve upon them.

Hard rip double for AJ. Let's get to Greinke and win this one

gonna be one of those 1 run 9 hit games

Just because people don't use those exact words doesn't mean they don't think he's going to be bad in the future.

 

Meanwhile, IMO, this is all Danks is going to give this season. I hoped for better, and I want better, but I don't think we are going to see it. He just can't get anything down.

Please contribute Wise so I don't have to keep defending you.

That first pitch to Wise was absolute bulls***.
