Why was Danks pulled?

Only 89 pitches and 5 innings of 2-run ball. 5:2 K/BB… Why go to our terrible pen when Danks is doing just fine?

It's destiny

i defer to the management

in such situations. they know how the players are feeling better than we do.

True.

Hopefully someone comments on it after the game, because right now (despite the back to back Ks from Dotel) it seems like an absolutely horrible managing decision.

I can't imagine divulging why they pulled Danks

would give another team any kind of advantage

He left with a lead

He needs the confidence. And Dotel is oh-so rested! And (not) earning a lot of money sitting on the bench. So WTF? Let the vets play!

I took the "under".

Recapping

Cudduyer averages a SB every 100 PA’s… He has 2 in the first 5+ innings of this game

I'm baffled by the organizations allegiance to Hall and Ozuna

I mean, on a team that is “going for it”, why keep those guys on the roster. It can’t be the money—it’s so small relative to the payroll.

At this point

I might actually rather have Nick Masset pitching.

by Grinder in Training on May 8, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

i think i'll stick with dotel on that one.

Jesus H. Larry! I said the first half!

by larry on May 8, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

I would too...

Masset is a fire-starter when he starts an inning and he also fans the flames with men on base.

they pulled danks?!?

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

by colintj on May 8, 2008 2:50 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

so

not that cuddyer’s on second with no outs, will dotel get our hopes up with two Ks and then give up a homer on an 0-2 pitch to harris?

by Ryno on May 8, 2008 2:50 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

Oh shit.

0-2

he does hit the ball to left in the air, you know

that’s why the leftfielder doesn’t shift?

by larry on May 8, 2008 3:06 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

yeah, they indifferently gave up a steal of 3rd and 2nd in a one-run game with no outs.

Repeat after me: reading comprehension, even a little bit of thought before posting, and basic research are not signs of weakness.

For those unable to watch

Konerko failed to check his swing on a 3-1 inside FB… Doug Eddings was slow to anything, Pualie took off his shin guard and started for first, at which point the runners went (as if it was a walk) and Mauer asked the first base ump for help… He said pauly went around, which he did, but by that time Q and Thome were steps from 2nd and third, and Mauer still had the ball—so it was a double steal

It HAD to be a fluky thing

Surprised AJ wasn’t involved.

I took the "under".

by winningugly on May 8, 2008 3:09 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Yep...

Gardenhire was pissed that Eddings didn’t make it known that it was a swinging strike and not ball 4.

The Sox should definitely...

put up a Doug Eddings statue.

It could be automated, with him making the fist pump motion.

he just indicated that it was a strike but not an out.

Awful Konerko...

swings at an easy ball 4.

by SSH2005 on May 8, 2008 3:08 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

konerko

correct me if i’m wrong (and i’m sure the data are out there) but it seems like konerko never even thinks about swinging 3-0 and ends up taking a lot of fastballs down the middle. while i wouldn’t want him up there hacking indiscriminately, it seems like occasionally he might want to pick a specific pitch and location and take a crack at it if it comes. maybe he does and never gets the cookie he’s looking for, but most of the time he’s just standing there with the bat on his shoulder.

Just like he did last year in May

IIRC. Beginning of the year and end of the year are his specialties. It’s mostly the middle. How ironic,since his physical middle is huge.

I took the "under".

I love Uribe jokes!

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
