Danks doesn't have a strike out problem from what little I've seen of him though, he usually manages to put the bat on the ball. I'd just let him swing

It's such a weak swing though. Seems very prone to popping it up to center due to very little torque on his swing. I am confident in saying that in a pennant race, you better not try and play him and Viciedo at the same time for a week. That would seem like a foolish plan.

You wonder how he hit for all that power in AAA this year.

Well, it is the same league where Dan Johnson has an OPS over .900

 

Dan Johnson's performance against righties this year has been fantastic. 1.023 OPS with 18 more walks than strikeouts. Give him a try KW!

Absolutely, especially if they're not going to try and get some more offense into Konerko's spot for the next week. Danks is nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement.

 

I don't know what they should do honestly. Feels like a lot of bad options all around right now. I don't want to see Morel back up unless they get rid of Hudson or Olmedo.

Dan Johnson's actually shown some power in the ML though.

I'm not going to be happy if it's Morel who gets the call over Johnson (or Wise or Jackson).

Way to find your curveball 90 pitches into the game Gavin.

I really want to see what Conor Jackson can do again.

Cliff Pennington almost hit a HR...

I want to see what both Johnson and Jackson can do. It's real simple, release Hudson and call up both guys.

Gavin keeping us in the game

Decent start by Gavin.

Rios due for a homer this inning

Wow, how the hell did he get that good of a jump on that?

f***ing kidding me? I hope you get a calf cramp Cespedes, a bad one.

I thought that ball went behind the pole.

Nah, about 15 feet foul unfortunately

Good to see Dunn hitting the ball hard to LF though.

Maybe it's me, but McCarthy hasn't been very sharp tonight.

Rios had some cookies to hit in that AB.

I wouldn't expect him to be. He hasn't pitched in two months.

I agree, the only person who he's made really good pitches to has been Youk.

What was that for?

A.J. looks ready to charge the mound.
