Feeky Magee Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:13 PM) Danks sucks... But what about the quality starts and when you remove his worst 10 starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:14 AM) Lord we're stuck with him for 2 more years. I really hope Hahn wasn't stubborn asking for players back if a team was willing to take on a large part of that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This is horrible.. It has to suck as an offense to know you are already in the hole by multiple runs because of your less then average pitcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 He was on track for a regression. I was hoping his FIP would regress to his ERA, but that's not usually how that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to suck as an offense to know you are already in the hole by multiple runs because of your less then average pitcher Abreu will hit a three run jack in the bottom of the 1st to tie the game.

At the ASB, I would have said I have no problem with him being a back end starter next year. If he puts up a 5 ERA this year, I would be worried about him being a huge liability going forward.

It is crazy he has only hit 4 home runs in his last 25 games or so. He is way overdue for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Danks mechanics haven't been right for a while now. He can't keep the ball down, and doesn't have enough stuff to pitch up anymore. He has to finish on his pitches better than he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't throw the ball like he used to. Edited August 6, 2014 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:29 AM) Abreu let several mistakes go in that AB 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
