When's the mound visit, Dr Coop?

Danks just getting shelled

When's the mound visit, Dr Coop?

Coop sick today..Thiggy in his place.

Danks at home this year 4-2 2.72 ERA 45/18 SO/BB in 59.2 innings. Opponents hitting .217.

 

Guess I should also point out he hasn't been that good in day games though.

 

Which split will play out today??

 

Looks like I have my answer

Danks 15th HR given up....go away.

 

Why do so many people hate Danks? He's having a great year for a guy coming off an injury. He's performed pretty well this season. So what if he makes a ton of cash. It's not our money. It's not like Sox would do anything with the extra cash if they didn't have to pay Danks.

He's gotten lucky with his ERA, he's been one of the worst starters in the majors by a lot of different metrics

Reading Singleton's lips after he said " f*** me".

Because he's just not going to be anything close to the pitcher he was in 2008-10.

 

As far as having a great year, it has been pretty good, maybe a bit better than expected in terms of quality starts. The peripheral statistics don't match up with the standard numbers, so there's a lot of room for regression to the mean based on his homers and elevated walk/lower K totals.

 

Remember, this is his second season after the surgery, so it was reasonable to expect better results. Of course, with shoulder injuries, it's a different situation than Tommy John.

Hahn would use the 16 mil in other areas. Danks is a shell of himself anymore.

Tank hosed on a pitch that looked beautiful but was off the plate.

what an awful umping crew this is.

Umpiring has been pretty bad this series.

Yea, there is a decent chance he's out of baseball after this contract. He has neither command nor velocity, not a good combo.

Interesting.

He's had a batch of quality starts. I don't understand why fans despise some players because of the amount of money they make and others get a free pass. I like Danks' season. I like Danks' style. He appears to be a Peavy-like bulldog out there. Danks is the least of this teams's problems IMO. Let him earn his big bucks. He's not deserving of the animosity IMO.

 

Caufield pointed out the Astros have his number for some reason. So be it. I like Danks.

I appreciate Hawk's contributions over the years, but my god is it annoying how much he dominates each broadcast. Stone can barely get a thought in without Hawk interrupting. Time to either force Hawk to retire or find another partner for him, because the current pairing just doesn't work IMO.

Nor deserving the money he is paid.

I notice some games he has a b****y edge to him, so to speak. And those days he interrupts Stoney a lot, etc. Some days the two are a delight to listen to, I feel.

Beckham hits a weak grounder right where the defender is. Got lucky there. Gordon fails again.

Speaking of lucky...

That was a break. Wow. Singleton is looking pathetic at first.

Terrific baserunning from "one of the worst baserunners in baseball history".

Stoney crediting Earl Weaver big time. Is Robin in the same league? Not yet.

Bloom, Blum. Whatever.

Houston's pen is absolutely dreadful, Cosart is at 92 pitches in the 4th....Keep it right here Danks

Can you imagine if Abreu woulda homered there? Woulda been electric. Sox need to grind out a win today with a mad Royals team coming to town.
