QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 10:43 PM) If the contact play was on then to my eyes Sanchez scores . Anyone see it differently ? He chickened out. I rather him get thrown out at home there.

Two RBI opportunities and two hacking at the first pitch. Seriously... the execution is just not there.

I agree. Flowers sucks with the bat but it is what it is. Guys like LaRoche, Abreu and Melky were suppose to bring runs home. Abreu seems to be the most competent at it. That spells a recipe for disaster.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:59 PM) His outing was good. He gave up four runs and pitched well. Does anybody agree with Greg that Danks had a good outing, because he did? What are you guys expecting? Just because the offense can't score 4 runs. I consider 3-4 runs in eight innings a good outing from a pitcher pretty much. A great outing would be 2 runs, maybe even some nights 3. I'm a little surprised nobody has forcefully jumped on the Danks bandwagon to support my positions. It grows a little old that a lot of people think he's trash when he's been OK to good this year overall. p.s. Just cause I like Danks doesn't mean I'm a troll. Fans have their favorite players for whatever reason. I could go through it again but I think everybody knows why I like Danks. A lot of posters are out there in support BTW. El Rockin always is praising guys. I like Danks; so shoot me. Troll.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Mediocre outing at best. Angels don't exactly have a good offense at the moment and those were some meatballs early. Are you going to see Sale pitch on Friday?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Mediocre outing at best. Angels don't exactly have a good offense at the moment and those were some meatballs early. If Danks didn't give up the two bombs early in the first f***ing inning, his outing was good.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) Professional troll. Gahhhh you're right. Such f***ing bait and I took it like a noob.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) LOL. Did not do well at all? Didn't he pitch into the 8th? He's the least of this team's problems. This team blows and he's been a pleasant surprise. So giving up 5 runs but going deep is good? You're officially bonkers greg.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) I'm sick of seeing Jose getting a steady diet of inside s***. That's what having no protection does. Nobody is afraid of putting him on for Melky and Avi. Exactly. I would love to see what Jose number's when he has legit protection behind him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:16 PM) How many ground outs is that tonight? They are pitching well.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) Not to be a broken record, but another good performance by Danks. Do any of you use mlb.com?? How in the f*** can they run the same f***ing commercials over and over every half inning? It literally is driving me crazy hearing the accent of that race driver; then the Sox highlight reel with Hawk's calls. How can mlb.com advertisers think it's an effective strategy making you listen to the same f***ing commercial up to 20 times a night??? No greg, Danks pitched like s***. He settled down but did not do well at all.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) Alexei has had some good years here but I really hope they decline his option He's gone.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 10:46 PM) Lol how is it unacceptable? He technically has another QS because of the error that led to the 4th run. Rodon gave up 2 bombs yesterday, yet lost 2-1. Is that unacceptable? Please. I don't know how to spell it out but a 2-Run HR and followed by a solo shot in the same inning does not equal two scattered solo shots. You put your team down 3-0 hole and we know how this offense is.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) Since the 1st inning Danks has pitched pretty well. He settled in but giving up 2 bombs is unacceptable.

Can't wait for next year... I think...

They have two competent CFs that could let him take a few days off.

See this is Danks greg. He is throwing absolutely meat right now.

Geo or Flowers?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:51 PM) Would be nice to see Danks hit their leadoff hitter tomorrow just to set a tone. Actually Rodon was so much in command he probably could have hit a guy tonight to get it out of the way. A benchclearing brawl would be OK for this team. Suspensions won't matter. Danks may be due for a bad outing anyway if he gets ejected after hitting the leadoff hitter. No. Let Samardzija do it if anyone.

Tyler Flowers ruined the night. He left 5 guys on base himself... Let that sink in for a minute.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) I'm one of those posters. I admit when I was wrong unlike some of those who have destroyed Danks on this board. Danks has had a good run but he will regress, he always does. It's not his fault per se, he just hasn't been the same since his injury.

Sanchez will bat next inning.

Well well well how do the SOX get back in this game?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:15 PM) His stuff is good tonight, they're just attacking him earlier in the count. A start like tonight is more impressive to me than his start at Wrigley last month where he had horrible command but got lucky. 6+ DP

Seriously, TFlo sucks. He has had 3 opportunities for RBIs so far.
