Danks has decent velocity tonight too

 

Probably over throwing. Hey, bases loaded, cool.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:46 PM)
A lot of guys have been defending Danks every s***ty start. He is a shell of his former self.

Yeah this board voted 36-6 against trading Danks for Santiago. Lulz. Don't understand the love affair with Danks here.

Sadly, his extension could very well end up being one of the worst deals in Sox history.

I like Danks and all, he's a good guy who has pitched really well for us, but I'm obviously worried. I hope he can turn it around and I don't think it's impossible that he does - but there is no good trend to fall back on.

John Danks is just the worst.

No clue why he was still pitching but this game is over in the 2nd...

Wow, time for a "DL" trip for Danks? This is a horrible effort by him.

This is why I was advocating taking ANYTHING from the Yankees, not playing hard ball. Get out from under this terrible contract for a pitcher who is just bad now.

Game over.

 

Danks can't be in next year's rotation. Things went south in a hurry. Have a good night, guys.

God damnit.

I know it doesn't matter anymore, but after 7 runs, get him the hell out of there.

Danks does not deserve a spot in the 2015 rotation only reason he will is his contract. Danks ability is just about at DFA level.

Danks about to take over from Noesi for the worst ERA in the AL for qualified starters.

I genuinely feel bad for fans in attendance tonight. This is a terrible effort by the veteran.

Yea I was right there with ya. Nobody needed FIP (hi Dick) to tell you John Danks was gonna regress when you saw him throw 88 mph fastball up followed by 82 mph changeup up followed by looping breaking ball.

No doubt about it. Ship has sailed along with Danks' ERA.

Nope, let him pitch until he lets up 10+ runs and then put him on the DL with Shoulder soreness at the end of the game.

Any chance he can be on the Biogenesis list and the Sox try to void his contract? :)

I would never go back if Danks is the starter that day.

"Here you go offense, score 10+ runs tonight...

What if you want to catch a HR in the outfield stands?

I stand corrected. :lol:

Get all your hits out tonight there Texas, tomorrow is no hit time.

Jim Hendry is scouting at White Sox game tonight. Asked him about Javier Baez. He gave all the credit to then-scouting director Tim Wilken.

 

Hendry is a scout for the Yankees. Damn it...
