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?

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'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.

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

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.

Well aware of my weight problems, WU

After all, spending all this time sitting in my parent’s basement eating cheetos and reading the internets was certain to add a bit to my waistline.

If only I had real, live friends, who I could go outside with and maybe meet in person. Maybe we could ride bikes, go for a run, or I could join a gym. But the light, oh the awful sunlight! I just can’t bring myself to go outside.

Wow.

Knights game today.

After pitching a 1-2-3 tenth inning, MacDougal comes back out for the 11th.

Nick Green walks
Gregory Porter reaches on a fielder’s choice, Green out at second
Matt Carson walks, Porter to second (Brett Gardner replaces Porter at second)
Gardner steals third, Carson steals second
JD Closer strikes out swinging
Bernie Castro intentionally walked
Justin Christian walks, Gardner scores

not sure you deserve a roster spot, SSH

let’s leave such things to the real ballplayers.

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

Naw, it's like Ritalin

Leadoff BB.

Pitching and defense.

see, the sox aren't going to win many games

so they’re going for the excitement factor. walk a guy, wild pitch into scoring position. gets the fans on edge.
