He won't get this lucky everytime but at least give the team a chance to win. He batlled, which isn't going to turn him into a 3.00 FIP ace, but if he can battle everytime out he'll be a solid 4th starter and the Sox will take that.

He wasn't all that good today and he admitted it. But, you take it from Johnson if we win and we did. Any time you win that's good. He is young and hopefully develops more command. Now if we lost that would be a different take on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky or not, that's an awesome result in that ballpark. Way to go EJ, he's done well since his rocky start. He walked 5, and only 1 run was earned because of his own wild pitch. The end result was good but he did not pitch well. Still, the rest of the season he's pitched better than his end results, so we'll take it. Hopefully he's scuffling a little bit because of his drop in velo and it comes back and he looks like 2013 MiLB Erik Johnson. I would say it's fairly encouraging he can put up a 3.49 FIP after losing 2-3 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not a super encouraging start by EJ, but he's young and this is often what you get with young pitchers.

I'm pretty sure the run is still earned if someone scores on a wild pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's right. Briefly flicked away and missed the throwing error. Still, the run scored due to the wild pitch, so not a blameless unearned run for Johnson.

I hope he doesn't take it too hard, but works with Coop a bunch on control and repeatability. Seems like his release point is all over the place, to my amateur eyes.

I suspect (or maybe hope) it's a case of trusting his stuff a bit less with the velo drop. He had a couple of very wild pitches but apart from that most of his balls seemed to me to be a result of nibbling, fearing that hitting the zone with his reduced stuff would lead to a pounding. Hopefully he can tick back up again and put some more MPH difference between his fastball and his off-speed pitches and start trusting his stuff more again.

hammerhead johnson Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Son, that was a serious White Sox winner. Play of the game was when Gillaspie and Flowers collided on the pop-up, and Tyler wanted to kick Conor's ass. You could just sense the tension. I hope he kicked his ass after the game.

I'd be wary of fighting Gillaspie, not that he'd fight back at the time, but you'd wake up one night and he'd just be sitting motionless on a chair next to your bed, stroking a knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he takes it out on Johnson who failed to call off Gillaspie. Pitcher's gotta take charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think if you are a true Sox fan you should give a warm round of applause in recognition of Danks today. That home run he hit was a true bomb. It banged off the facade in the upper deck, kind of like a South Side Hit Man home run when the ball was juiced that one year. A rocket!!!

Yeah that was a pretty monstrous shot. It'd be nice if some of his AAAA-seeming power could translate to the bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
