elrockinMT Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Gameday is stuck on Konerkos at bat. If Field just hit a slam I am very happy. he is my PTC tonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) This early inning run scoring will be mention by BBTN. Remember that one night where 62 homers were hit and the Sox had 7 to the Tigers' 6? "That was awesome."

Brian Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 07:37 PM) maybe KW was spot on hyping up Fields...he is twice the player Crede is. Give it a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) Danks fastball is too straight and too slow not to incorporate his changeup and curveball more. It seems he resorts to it frequently because his control if off with the secondary pitches. I have to agree. You and I are not criticizing Danks here are we? I am just making an observation and think he needs to grow more as a pitcher. He also needs to challenge them more QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) maybe KW was spot on hyping up Fields...he is twice the player Crede is. Not so fast there. Right now he is twice the player cause Joe is injured and not playing. I think Crede is our thirdbaseman and Fields the LF'er of the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i'll still take Danks over Danny Wright any day. remember how sucky our starting pitching used to be? we went full seasons without a #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crede, for all practical purposes, has seen his last days in a Sox uniform. Is that you Kenny? No, really I unerstand exactly where you are coming from and I am sure Joe wishes now he had surgery during the off season, but back surgery for a young man is nothing to take lightly. The Sox have given up on a number of folks eligible for free agency and would have a power team right now if we had kept a couple. The pieces of the puzzle we need to be putting in place includes someone of the caliber of Joe Crede. Plus he is a home grown talent just like Carlos Lee was, and I am not pleased with the Sox decisions in the area of our potential FA's. We should be rewarding our talent and keeping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 His changeup is a plus pitch, and can keep them from sitting on his fastball. He used it like crazy in ST. Then stopped up until recently. Keep using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, Danks got burnt on his breaking stuff in the first. The pitch that Uggla crushed was a curveball that just hung, and pitch to Ramirez looked like a slider that didn't slide (it might have been a changeup).

The pitch that Uggla crushed was a curveball that just hung, and pitch to Ramirez looked like a slider that didn't slide (it might have been a changeup). Danks has 2 curveballs. One is a tight quick breaker. The other is a slow bender that sweeps more. He left them both up out over the plate, and up. Thats what got hit. He didnt throw too many changes on 2 strikes in the first inning, until he got hurt on the curve. He should use his changeup more and more. Then use the Curve to keep them honest or a strikeout pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
