soxforlife05 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Just noticed the boxscore and jumped in. There haven't been any of these excuses for Danks tonight, right? he just had one bad inning it would have been (x runs) if the defense had done their job Can't win games scoring (x runs) Who else would we have as the 5th starter?

shysocks Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) Petricka seems to get worse every year. He's been bad but it's hard to blame him for this inning. Lawrie booted a ball, he gave up that tapper that stayed fair, and I know this sounds like an excuse, but between the framing and the "wild pitch," Hector Sanchez is putting on a clinic for how not to play the catcher position.

Yeah, I know, it's tough to overcome extra outs. But you can't give up the long ball with the bases loaded. Petricka looked like he was going to be a good setup man a couple of years ago. Then he was up-and-down last season. He's OK, but I've pretty much given up on him being a high-leverage reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I love how part of Avi's batting routine is to slightly hump the air. ...And I really hope this is the real Avi. He has had a good eye the past few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Jack29 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I love Eaton's hustle, but I'd rather not see him dive after balls when the Sox are down by eight late in the game and the backups are in. I don't want him suffering Rowand-like injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Seems like the White Sox would have been better off throwing a motivated Miguel Gonzalez against his former team, but that would still have meant sacrificing one of the Blue Jays games and maybe that series doesn't end up as more than one win. In retrospect, it's hard to imagine Erik Johnson doing MUCH worse...or Beck. Then again, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It should be crystal clear to everyone that John Danks is done. I certainly hope the Sox realize this. If I were John I'd retire tomorrow...its not like he needs the money and is simply getting humiliated out there. He tried, I'll give him credit for that but he's done. The Sox now are in a tough position, its to early to trade for someone...what do they do? Go with Gonzales again? Try Eric Johnson? Maybe try to catch lightening in a bottle with a kid from Double A (James Baldwin had a sensational start for the Sox in 1996 so it can happen) It'll be interesting to see what they do but this simply can't go on. I've always said because pitchers get hurt, go into slumps, have double headers stack up with rainouts that you need SIX starters...not five. The sixth guy goes into the pen for long relief and makes spot starts (Dennis Lamp and Jerry Koosman both did this effectively for the Sox in the early 80's). Then if someone gets hurt or becomes ineffective he slides in to that spot. At least you have some insurance. Bottom line, the Sox have four starters right now, they need to beg, borrow or steal one someway...somehow. You don't want a repeat of 1996 or 2003 where the Sox blew an almost guaranteed postseason spot because the last starter in the rotation couldn't keep them in a game and at least give them a reasonable chance. Stat of the Night: Danks is 4-15 in his last 24 starts. He's done. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
