SoxNet recap:

White Sox beat Pirates' Low-A affiliate

 

White Sox star of the game:

John Danks- 8 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 SO, .228 WPA

White Sox goat of the game:

Gordon Beckham- 0-4, 5 LOB, -.090 WPA

 

Everyone's favorite borderline ace John Danks got the start today for our Sox and he overpowered the Pirates' lineup. He did his damage with a four seam fastball that topped out at 92.6 mph and averaged 90.73 mph, plus his changeup, which average 82.13 mph. His overall whiff rate was 8.57% and he had an extremely impressive 30% whiff rate on his changeup, which was the magic pitch for Danks, as he picked up 5 of his 6 strikeouts with the pitch, all of which were swinging strikeouts (the best kind!). The changeup today was what the scouting community would refer to as a "plus-plus" pitch.

Like I said before... won't get excited yet crushing sorry NL teams. But I will say this.. we somehow only lose 1 or 2 games (don't know about Strasburg) this stretch, I MIGHT have some eyes peaked on us again when we get back to the AL teams to see how we do.
