Golden shower is what Dunn is giving to an especially thirsty Jerry Reinsdorf & Sox FO. Obviously they like the flavor since they're actively choosing to let it continue.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 18, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) I like Nieto he has been a nice surprise. He made a mistake on the steal and threw the ball into LF because he didn't stay compact but stood all the way up first before throwing...but generally he's been good in this area.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) 2013, welcome back. Stay healthy Sale and Q, and please be ok MRI for Abreu. Without Abreu, they're going to be even flatter and it's going to cause Gillaspie/Viciedo/Dunn/Konerko to press a little more. The only real difference (from last year) is Eaton and a much weaker starting rotation. You knew as soon as Beckham hit into that DP that the game was pretty much over. And then the errors and mistakes in fundamentals all over the place again. It won't be too long before we catch Cleveland in the error totals. And benching DeAza for Sierra is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic until Abreu/Sale are back and at 100%. Of all the current disappointments (injuries/non-performance), DeAza's attitude is pretty baffling. He seems a little too entitled by being a big leaguer now. Maybe Rios rubbed off on him too much.

caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Besides the velocity loss, Danks' walk totals are way way up. Coming into today, his IP/H ratio was fine. But the problem is the walks are pushing his pitch totals up, and the only strikeout pitch he has is the change-up, but that only works if you get ahead of hitters consistently. If you're forced to go with outside "fastballs" against major league hitters looking for that pitch and location at 86-89, you better have impeccable location, which he clearly does not at this point in his recovery (and might never regain).

flavum Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Nieto 3-3. That's good. Glad I missed this one. Top 7 pick 2015, here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The Sox have played nine 3-game series this season. They went 2-1 in the opening series of the season. They have gone 1-2 in the other eight. Luckily winning 3 out of 4 a few times has helped their overall record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think the question at this point is not whether he is good but whether he will ever be good again. At this point the eight ball is saying all signs point to no, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he did have Miranda Lambert as his maid-of-honor, and then there's the music career of his wife to fall back on if that $65 million contract isn't enough to last.
