Balta1701 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) Amen Danks pitching shows all fans we do not care If we win or not. We. Shouldn't. We tried and wound up 8 games below .500 and at the bottom of the league by mid-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) I keep saying for EJ...they've said they want to give him time at AAA to get his confidence back and I totally agree with that after the implosion last year. You keep saying this, but also keep ignoring the suddenly drop-off in velocity. I'm sure his mental makeup played a role, but stuff was the primary issue.

Balta1701 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Seems like he should be pretty confident now He went 1-3 with a 5.29 ERA in May. He's had a total of 3 really good starts in a row. As recently as June 5 he had a 9 hit outing over 6 IP. Come on, 3 good starts, that's literally it. I know this org has no patience but come on.

caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Awaiting a patented mini "Greg Rant" on how every single AL Central team this season has gotten momentum back after facing the White Sox. Maybe I'll join him... On the other hand, this whole idea of Danks being not so bad "because he's a gamer, was good seven years ago in the Blackout Game and has battled through injuries in order to collect his $65 million in game checks" and a core component of future starting rotations needs to end. That's 5 bad starts in the last 6, or 6 in 7, something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 lmfao at this team just like clockwork, whenever they go 2/3 or get a semi-worthwhile streak, it only takes one guy to s*** the bed and ruin it for everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) He went 1-3 with a 5.29 ERA in May. He's had a total of 3 really good starts in a row. As recently as June 5 he had a 9 hit outing over 6 IP. Come on, 3 good starts, that's literally it. I know this org has no patience but come on. Come on, you know better than to look at ERA and hits. He's been striking people out all year, and has mostly kept the walks at a manageable rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The irony is that LaRoche and Gillaspie both had opportunities to bunt this weekend in a tie game with the pronounced shift on and RISP...easy base hits down the line if they just managed to keep it fair and past the pitcher. But elected not to take advantage of the opportunity. So NOW we get it when we're well behind....that's the typical White Sox brain cramp this season.

Balta1701 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) Come on, you know better than to look at ERA and hits. He's been striking people out all year, and has mostly kept the walks at a manageable rate. In May he had 2 different games where he walked 4 people in 5 innings. 16 walks in 32 innings in May, 1.61 WHIP. He's been in a good groove for 4 starts and in the first of those he gave up 9 hits. Calling him up right now is such a completely normal, classic White Sox panic move that I can't believe people think it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
