Steve, Danks NEVER has "it". You of all people should know that.

I REALLY hope Danks invested the money from this contract, well, for his future's sake.

Take this bum out of the rotation

What a joke this org is. PUT HIM IN TEH f***ING PEN OR DFA HIM.

 

Jesus, admit that the injury f***ed him and your plans and it's a SUNK COST.

 

My god, there has never, ever been a pitcher that came back and was worth a s*** from this injury. Good on Danks for working his ass off even to come back and pitch in MLB again but it's over for him.

Avi seriously sucks

 

Must be a cloudy sky . Visibility poor picking up the ball since we saw what happened with a good fielder like Pillar.

 

Danks should have been pulled after the lead off double or after he intentionally should have walked Donaldson with 1st base open . Yes blaming Robin. Our relief pitches have been pretty good at home . Use them.

Do you really have to invest when you bank $45M ?

You have to be awake to make moves.

I wonder if Robin is even aware of the home/road splits in the relief pitching.

I do not think RV is aware of much since the day he took over.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:40 PM)
Because Vetura won't pull a starter until a pitch count is reached or the game is out of reach.

A quick hook would've made sense after getting 17 of 18 innings from the starters the last two nights, but that's our Robin.

Got a lot of games coming up. Especially early next week.

Move your ass Boston.

I have often defended Avi, but he looked lost on that play.

Kind of a drop off with Sale, Q, Shark,,,, then Danks.

Steak to dog crap.

How much longer can they keep throwing Danks out there to get shelled? His salary is a SUNK COST for Christ's sake, why is that so hard to understand? The Cubs kicked Jackson out of the rotation and were quick to kick out Wood as well, why are we so slow on the trigger? So frustrating.

No need to rip a player that strongly. I've been tempted to rip guys like LaRoche similarly and don't go that far. Some of us are Danks fans here.

No 5th run again...............roll hands over Avi.

It really doesn't matter at this point who pitches. Danks has had some good starts as well as pathetic ones.

I was nice I used crap.

We need to make sure that we trade Shark ASAP and not try to re-sign him. That way Danks can move up to the 4th spot of the rotation.

Great post. I know it's off topic but I was against the Melky signing from the beginning. Cheater in the past who would be a utility player at best if not for the cheating years. I wish they'd clean house. Everybody but me thought firing Ozzie would do wonders. That did nothing because a lot of bad baseball people remain aboard.

 

I said he was a "cheater in the past," what's so bad about that. You are right though, I truly dislike Melky and LarRoche.

We have distinct proof otherwise.

The Sox have a few options in AAA that could be gaining more MLB experience instead of wasting time on Danks in the rotation. There's no future for Danks and his 5.30 ERA. Time to move on and give someone else a shot. Danks is done.
