iamshack Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Was it bad luck today? I see his K/BB ratio was rather good. He started off wild and ineffective, got it together as the outing went on. It wasn't a good start by any means, but he gave us a chance to win the game.

He didn't take advantage of our offense coming to play today. A loss is a loss. So we hit and still lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The funny thing is that I trust Ohman more than the other lefties in our bullpen if we have to get one lefty batter out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows...but if it were me, given the potential returns, I would roll the dice on Edwin keep him around and trade Danks because we can actually get something for him. If neither are going to be around, shouldn't we trade the one that actually nets some kind of return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Jackson was fine, hes just the easiest whipping boy on the Sox staff. Bautista hit a 3 run hr off of him and he was a little off the first few innings. The fact is that if 5 ers is a terrible start, than no pitcher should be pitching in the AL because im not sure there is a pitcher who hasnt given up that many. He kept the Sox in a position to win, gave up a few weak hits (broken bats etc), but when he got a lead he held it. Got no problem with that outing.

Soxbadger Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 lol Yeah Jackson wont bring any return because every staff in the league has guys better than him. Come on now, if the Sox wanted to trade Edwin, he could be gone today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly happy with the outing, and his WHIP has been terrible this year for someone with his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we are going to be in this division for the long haul, so I'd like to keep one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 So we're saying that giving up 6 earned runs is just fine now a days? Please, I don't care how they were given up, that's a bad start no matter how you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but most likely he's going to return much less than Danks would, even though I think the returns on the field would be very similar this season.
