fathom Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 31, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) It has nothig to do with last night and everything to do with getting Wise a lefty hitter some at bats. Wise isn't now and wasn't doing anything before the injury Wise PH for Anderson last night cause Anderson was having bad at bats. Wise gets a lot of hate on this board. If they got equal bat bats over the course of a year, I bet Wise would have better power numbers and possibly a better batting average. BA, of course, is superior on defense.

fathom Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Everything is up in the zone. Of course, nice we pitch to Olivo with a base open and 2 outs. I'd take my chances with DeJesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense yes BA is superior, but DW gives it his all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there are rules about it. I do know that he can't get the ball down and that's usually the result of a tired arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Danks does not suck. He's not TERRIBLE! he's a young pitcher who went a ton more innings last year than he had previously. Regression is natural. jesus.

fathom Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 So put me in the camp who's officially worried about Danks. He's looking like the pitcher we saw in 2007 again, and unlike Floyd, who seems to have pitched better than his numbers show, Danks is the opposite.

I tend to think it is really more of not locating his pitches and maybe poor pitch selection. He gets in trouble and can't get out of it until at least 2 or 3 runs score on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mechanics are totally screwed, and after that start in Anaheim, I think we were hopeful he would start to improve upon them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because people don't use those exact words doesn't mean they don't think he's going to be bad in the future. Meanwhile, IMO, this is all Danks is going to give this season. I hoped for better, and I want better, but I don't think we are going to see it. He just can't get anything down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
