Nah, this is the last year of Danks contract. There's no "well what about next year??" anymore; the Sox can drop him out of the rotation no problem. They're gonna pay him anyways.

We know the fans despise him with the exception of a couple of us. So Hahn should please the fans then and turn him into Matt Thornton.

If you were watching the game you would be even more depressed

Nah.

 

At the same time, I came into a game thread I knew was going to be a b**** fest just to b**** about the b**** fest so I'm not any better.

Danks has several games like this every year. He also has several quality starts per year. That's why he's a #5.

 

Yet, many folks here seem to think that he's supposed to pitch like Sale just because it's Opening Day.

You don't need to convince Greg. I love him.

A dude with a 98 mph fastball?

No, a lefthanded specialist.

There's quite a gulf between "Chris Sale" and "5 runs in 2 innings".. to be fair Danks has settled down.

 

The problem this offense is going to score more than 5 runs very rarely this year. The Sox are gonna have to win games by holding teams to low scores, not by scoring a lot themselves.

So did you actually expect Danks to out-pitch Salazar today? If not, why is this outcome such as disappointment?
