greg775 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:56 AM) Yeah, this was good but I definitely wouldn't call it the #1 highlight of the season. His highlight for sure. I forgot his dad was LaLob. LaRoche threw two LaLobs up there. Hope the beat writers remember that. QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 05:00 AM) Maybe Adam can pitch for Danks instead. Maybe we can have Danks DH Danks isn't that bad. You know u are jinxing him tomorrow cause I love him. He's had 5 good outings in his last 10. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, he's still making a comeback from injury. You guys disagree, but the eye test tells me his stuff is improving. Now, the consistency is still off. Maybe he should have pitched in the minors all year. I agree five out of 10 is not great, but it's OK for a No. 5. The Danks hatred bothers me. Because 1.) he isn't to blame for his contract. Somebody offered it to him. 2.) The GM could demand he pitch a year in the minors to get his effectiveness all the way back following serious surgery. He's a No. 5 starter and doing OK in that role. Rodon has been equally inconsistent and he's No. 4. I think the reasons people hate on Danks are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner he is out of the rotation and off the team the better it will be for all concerned. He's been well paid, it's not like he or his family is going to want for anything.

Danks is overpriced and that's primarily the reason, and every inconsistent start is a reminder of the burden we'll have to carry for another season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) Six runs and Sox lose. That's never a good sign. I consider that a good sign. Remember we recently went 20+ straight games at home scoring less than 5 runs. Keep scoring 5 runs a game and we'll be in good shape unless in Strange Sox fashion once we start hitting the pitching lets us down but both were great during the 7 game streak albeit against crap competition. However with all the trades others in the WC card race made we are hopelessly outgunned. If the hitting and improved defense continues along with the pitching being steady the Sox should finish the season a few games above .500 but miss the playoffs.

Laroche's performance was encouraging (with the bat and the pithing LOL). Plus Abreu is driving the ball out of the ball park again.
