BigHurt3515 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not a great effort by our 3 and 4 hitters there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Danks FIP by month: 4.14, 5.27, 4.78, 5.10 Oh, and for now August is 15.14...but he's only thrown one inning so we'll let him work on that a little bit more. My general point is that outside of having an okay April, he's been bad all year. His hot streak was a mirage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) Last couple of games, he's been fouling off some meatballs that he had been hitting over the fence before the ASB. Thankfully, he's stopped chasing the slider low and away for the most part. Seems like he's gotten a little focused on hanging offspeed pitches. While he was lining fastballs to right and pounding offspeeds to left, he's got himself into a spot where he's starting to miss the heaters, even in fastball counts. The beauty is that he's doing so many things right that he's still hitting well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My general point is that outside of having an okay April, he's been bad all year. His hot streak was a mirage Yet some will tell you his value IS 14 mil a year, and are glad the Sox didn't trade him. Guys throwing 86mph to eat innings (lose games) can be found anywhere. I think this only gets worse the next 2 years.

You know what is funny? I have had him on my team the whole year in a dynasty league with 20 teams and I am currently in 4th place. I just dropped him last inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game he pitched against the Cubs so many people in the game thread were straight up in denial that he was just getting completely owned by a s*** lineup and the only thing saving him was all the rockets hit right at people.
