aryzner Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Avi got the benefit of the call there. That was a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one thing to keep him around a few years ago when he was still owed a ton of money and the team sucked, but now that the team is good and he's in the final year of his deal, he needs to be gone if he continues to be this bad.

Dick Allen Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 QUOTE (aryzner @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) Avi got the benefit of the call there. That was a strike. Same place Machado took for a ball. And thankfully Avi didn't swing because chance are he wouldn't have hit it hard if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Truly believe they pull the plug on Danks if he gets rocked again It sucks because I love the guy but I think he's toast, I'm not how much of a future he even has in this league at this point. Someone's always willing to give a one-time-good lefty a shot but Danks just has nothing left. His stuff is just so weak and he doesn't have nearly good enough command to make up for it, he just nibbles himself to death because he can't attack hitter like he wants to.

His AB's have been much improved lately, he appears to have a much better feel for the strike zone right now, he was 100% guessing for most of April.

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 You know it's bad when you're a long time Sox veteran and Hawk is very much on your case. "A rocket, what else?" Holy s*** I've never seen Hawk give a non rookie this treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way different than the 2nd half last year. He falls behind and he is in a lot of trouble. If he gets ahead, he will be fine, but he hasn't been able to do it this season.

Way different than the 2nd half last year. If you lookup how Johan Santana's career went post capsule you'll see he was out of baseball a few years later. Danks is on the same path. It's a s***ty injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 1 positive: when Danks elevates the fastball tonight he's hitting the very top of the zone or just above. He's not leaving them belt high with 2 strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me optimistic for this year, but everyone is hitting him hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
