Balta1701 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) Jackson will have a great game and then a game where the team has no chance. It sort of evens out to make the overall numbers look pretty decent (Javier Vazquez syndrome). Look at Kalapse's post in the Catch-All regarding Danks and it'll explain what he's done in greater detail. Although I'm sure you already knew the answer to this. You just seem to pop up with random comments to my posts for which you already know the answer/response. If you want to tlak about a guy suffering from Javy Vazquez syndrome you should see Danks's numbers in the 6th inning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Is there an actual chance that Danks is unliked by his teammates? Even I think the idea is a little absurd, but the guy never gets run support. And it isn't just this year. It's every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look for Kalapse's post on that. You know the stats don't always tell the whole story. And I'm sure you know that Danks has been better than Jackson. OK, I shouldn't have used the word "laughably," but we all know that he's been better. Jackson could give you a stellar performance, or he can put the game out of reach in the first two innings.

Rowand44 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Even if their stats are pretty similar this season, Danks has a track record of being a very good pitcher while Edwin doesn't. To me this isn't a very hard decision and would have already been made if it wasn't for Edwin's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this isn't a very hard decision and would have already been made if it wasn't for Edwin's contract. I was purposely avoiding that aspect of the argument since I've also argued that Pierre needs to go despite his career numbers. Of course there are other factors such as age and diminishing skill sets that would still favor Danks and work against Pierre, but I didn't even want to open that can of worms.

Unless you just like to hear yourself talk, in that case I will stop commenting. The thing is that you normally ask a question you already know the answer to, such as in this thread, in order to nitpick a very small aspect of the post. Today it was probably the fact that I said it was "laughable" instead of "obvious to all of us that watch every game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ May 25, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) This. Infante, or somebody, needs to be ready soon. How long will it be before we go back to 5 starters, putting one of the six in the pen? Will it be the beginning of June that was semi-promised? Not too sure, but at that time, Pena's role will be really redundant and unnecessary. Hopefully, that will mark the end of TPain's reign of suck on the Southside. The Sox never DFAed Linebrink. They won't do it to Pena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 25, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) I don't know what to make of Tony Pena. He threw two nice innings last week but then turns around and gives up runs in less than an inning and we almost blow this game with Texas. This is the same Pena we have seen for a few years. When will that experiment end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
