Go away DeAza

Who got sent packing?

Danks

Who got sent packing?

 

Jordan Danks.

God I want to live in your world. "Hey I just hit green on the roulette well everyone that said it wouldn't hit is dumb".

All I have to do is fade whatever you say and I will be a baseball genius.

Thank guys............It will be nice to get Conor's bat back Thursday.

So the great Danks gives up more runs after Sox score.

Ranks gives on back

Does Danks not want to win??

This is a perfect example of outcome-based evaluation vs thought process. Danks was bad before that home run; some here just chose not to see it.

 

Bad as defined by -- he cant do the things he's strong at anymore.......as he relied on velocity. He has to totally change as a pitcher if he's going to get back to being really solid like he was several yrs ago.

 

Cubs have an awful offense so the things being said about Danks aren't based off this, but rather larger samples.

Danks has always been an off speed pitcher. Not sure how he relied on velocity.

Abreu come on.

Bad move by Abreu.

I laughed

Damn word corrector

Abreu not too good at 1b this inning.

Jesus already giving it back. The cubs offense sucks. Come on guys

Just get out of this inning with the lead and hand it over to the bullpen.

Oh this team sometimes...

Just terrible to a s*** team...................Semien stop the ball. I do not get the Semien love affair by some.

Lol. That was two feet off the line. Good 3b have that easily.

Geesss

He needed to stay on his feet and backhand it and step on 3rd.. I think he thought the ball was hit harder and his first reaction was to dive for hit.

Oh this team sometimes...

 

 

It's not the team. Danks just never is going to be the same.

 

And that's yet one more reason why we have to be a bit careful with the payroll than non-strategically throwing money at the dartboard of mid-tier free agent pitchers. We already have one of our own who's mediocre at best. We don't need another one.

 

 

Too many walks, too much pitches....doesn't have a strikeout pitch anymore, leading to bullpen overuse. It's like the perfect storm.
