fathom Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:28 AM) Seems like maybe this cold weather has gotten to him a bit...all his at bats on this home stand have sucked. Also hate to see two, first pitch outs against a pitcher with mediocre control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Danks is just awful this year at keeping the opposition down after the Sox score. His stuff looks terrible this season and no idea why he's throwing a change-up to a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2525 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 John is getting really bad about giving up runs right after the offense just gave him a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danks has always done that. When he actually has his good change, it can be effective because they never see it...but if he elevates it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Can we please start the "KW should be fired for giving Danks that big contract thread!" lol? Every day, we can change to a new player. Yesterday, Viciedo. Today, we can try Alexei Ramirez or Danks if we get tired of picking on Beckham or Morel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Danks is throwing the change-up a little bit less than 1% more than last season. The big thing that sticks out is his FB velocity is down a full 1.9 MPH from last year. Is it the April excuse, or something more serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing that sticks out is his FB velocity is down a full 1.9 MPH from last year. Is it the April excuse, or something more serious? Take a look at his velocity charts. He had one game that was way down this year (maybe even erroneously low), but otherwise he's not far off where he was in other years to start the year. In fact, 2010 has as clear of an "increasing as the season goes on" trend as you'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
