August 2, 201510 yr The gun at the park had Danks at 93 a lot tonight. I don't think I have seen that from him simce pre surgery. Except for the walks, he was fantastic. Got some help from Avi and Sanchez, and Melky. The defense looks really good. The offense is clicking. If that continues it should he fun the next 2 months.

August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Danks at 93?! He was seriously insane tonight. Really makes me feel good about our staff. Duke was good, too.

Good to hear.
August 2, 201510 yr More of these starts for Danks and less of the ones like Boston please. Keep the ball down and he'll be fine

August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) I wonder how much the CG SHO over Houston is skewing that ERA. It would stil be 2.40. Despite what some want to say, 3 out of 4 Danks starts are not awful.
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) It would stil be 2.40. Despite what some want to say, 3 out of 4 Danks starts are not awful. I'll take him as a fourth or fifth starter. Sure, he's overpaid, but there's no cap, so meh.
August 2, 201510 yr Danks was legit nasty today. The hook was on, the cutter was cutting hard, the fastball was popping and the change was just fading away beautifully. If he had that stuff every time he was out he would be worth the $
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:45 PM) Eaton's OPS is now higher than last year. Amazing. Makes me feel better about his contract, but he has to keep it up. It's the same thing I worry about with this team. They stayed put on free agency, but they have to keep winning.

August 2, 201510 yr Have friends at the game. They're sending me the Scotty pods bobblehead. No sox stuff here in SC so I'll take it!

I've been quoting stats like these and getting ripped mercilessly. Go Sox!
