chitownsportsfan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) seriously, john danks has f***ing nothing. If the Cubs can't hit him, they should probably cancel the rest of their MLB season.' lol, and a swing through a grooved 87mph fastball. Man, I could hit that.

southsider2k5 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) I sort of hoped Huff was in the booth again. He was pretty good last night, and it's clear Stone is a better broadcaster without Hawk. Don't get me wrong - I love Hawk - and him calling a win is fantastic, but last night was kind of nice as well. Huff is terrible. All he did the whole night was ask Steve Stone questions. He does the same thing in the booth with Hawk. He barely has an opinion of his own, and brings no sort of insight or excitement to the booth.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 well, if he can throw that change consistently he has a chance, but we haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 ESPN guys talking about Sale and how he looked good in his 55 pitch bullpen session. Will pitch a simulated game Saturday. Showed a little video of him and he looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's throwing meat at 87 and can't control his off speed stuff. He just got lit up for a double after a walk to a s***, s*** lineup. He came in to the day bb/9 of over 5. Do you think he looks good?
