DBAHO Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Crucial game against another lefty here. The Sox need to put some offense on the board tonight, and Danksy needs to pitch well. Go Sox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm thinking that Mr. Eveland's 0.68 ERA is due for a bump. It won't stay that way all season. Let's get the split against Oakland and feel good about this series. Go get 'em Danksy. GO YOU WHITE SOX!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Is Eveland another soft-tossing lefty, whom we haven't seen before? Uh-oh C'mon Danks pitch like your first start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 this is from 2 years ago when eveland was the brewers #7 prospect 7. DANA EVELAND , lhp Age: 22 B-T: L-L Ht: 6-1 Wt.: 240 Drafted: JC of the Canyons (Calif.), D/F 2002 (16th round) Signed by: Corey Rodriguez Background: Eveland was a draft-and-follow signee in 2003, one year after the Brewers gave Manny Parra $1.5 million as a draft-and-follow. Eveland joined Parra in the Huntsville rotation in 2005, blew past him as a prospect and spent much of the second half in Milwaukee’s bullpen. Strengths: Eveland has a build that evokes David Wells and has some of Wells’ pitchability as well. His fastball sits at 88-90 mph, touching 94. Eveland adds and subtracts off his fastball and commands it well. His slider can be a plus pitch, aided by his deceiving, crossfire delivery. His curveball has good depth. Weaknesses: Like Wells, Eveland has trouble maintaining his weight. When he became a reliever, his conditioning lagged as he couldn’t maintain a workout schedule between starts. His changeup is his fourth pitch, though at times it is average. The Future: The Brewers hoped Eveland would get back on a conditioning track in the Arizona Fall League, but a knee injury ended his stint prematurely. If he’s healthy and in shape, he could have the inside track on Milwakee’s fifth starter’s job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Eveland sounds like the type of pitcher that is brought in to make the Sox look silly........ That with the A's plate patience could lead to another long frustrating day. Maybe the approach will change and the pop-ups will be brought down a little (they had 7 of them 5 on the infield last night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoarow Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Lets split this at least. On a side note after looking at buerhle's career numbers vs the A's its not as bad as it looks. His record is horrible, but his ERA is under 4. Just a thought....GO SOX!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I think we might have a better chance against a guy like Harden instead some guy we have never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Brian Anderson was seen kicking Guillen's dog this morning. Why not put the best defensive outfield out there you can and DH Dye? Crede in the 5 hole after not doing anything against the same type of pitcher he struggles against???????? I'd have liked to see Ozuna at third, Ramirez at second and Anderson in CF. Having sat through last night's game the pathetic offensive display by certain guys is still lingering I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChWRoCk2 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sox Lineup: Siwhser 1B Cabrera SS Dye RF Konerko DH Crede 3B Quentin LF Ramirez CF Ozuna 2B Hall C I still would really like to see Alexei at 2B but seems as if that won't happen in the near future. Thank god Uribe is out of the lineup. I also cringe every time I see Hall in lineup but oh well hopefully we pull this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO YOU WHITE SOX!!! not really, the one pattern we've observed the past couple seasons is the Sox losing the one game where the pitching matchup favors them to win 19/20 times. yesterday was a prime example of our Ace holding a team to 2 runs and losing to a guy none of us ever heard of. Today, we don't have our ace on the mound, but certainly don't expect the Sox to knock out another no-name as would be the case with most other teams....we just have a knack for being flat against no-names and being strong against proven vets (with the exception Johan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsox Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Knew Pablo would be in there today but why Ramirez over Anderson?!? Esp since Quentin's looking a little fatigued lately with the lousy swings he's put in the last couple games?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, one of the biggest misconceptions held on this board is about Ozuna at 3rd. People seem to assume that because he's terrible in the OF (which he is), and pretty bad at SS (which he is), that he must suck at 3B or 2B - but he doesn't. In fact, I remember in 2005 when he played 3B for Crede for a while, he looked pretty OK over there. Nothing like Crede of course, but passable for a game here or there. He's an OK 3B.

I was talking about regression to the mean generally - not specifically the Sox 2. Remember this is NOT the same Sox team as last year. I wouldn't depend on that trend.
