greg775 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Web gem by their second baseman. Like I said, one out of four will be about right this series if we can get the one. This is a mismatch payroll wise and shows up on the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 10:01 PM) Absolutely, Greg is right. But, this seems to be Danks' routine now. The problem is, this year, Danks has been bad in a lot of innings, not just the 6th (although today will pile on). ERA by inning: 4.5 0 6.75 6.75 4.5 9.82 You can't pull your starter in the 2nd. He's just been bad this year. Not much else to say. He'll snap into one of those multi game grooves at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, one out of four will be about right this series if we can get the one. This is a mismatch payroll wise and shows up on the scoreboard. A big chunk of their payroll is on the DL. The Red Sox have starting pitching and bullpen issues. But their offense is just awesome. Even without Ellsbury and Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) Yeah, Greg's right here...The guy had retired 8 in a row to start the inning and then retired the first guy as well, and had thrown ~80 pitches. There was no reason to even have the pen up there. Jones was ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Danks reminds me of 06 Vazquez. The Sox would be winning by a few, Vazquez would be cruising/dominating through 5, and then he would get demolished in the 6th inning while we would all be screaming to get the pen up. Except with Danks, it isn't the 6th inning, it is the inning immediately following the Sox taking a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crain being out really hurts our bullpen depth. Jones has done great so far this year, but there will be some games where he implodes. You know have two long men in your bullpen in Stewart and Axelrod. Ventura should get Santiago an inning tonight to get his confidence back.
