Well John Danks OBVIOUSLY wants Detroit in the playoffs!

It was even commented upon by the announcers that he is throwing the ball 10 MPH slower than usual on most pitches.

In his last 10 starts, he has given up more than 3 runs on just one occassion. He gave up 1 or less runs on 4 trips to the mound.

Yet today................................................ he gives up 3 runs in 2 innings and loaded the bases in the first with 1 out and threw a very slow curve RIGHT OVER the plate which for some reason the batter didnt swing at for Detroit.



The Twins will need to win

Guy better pick it up..


he Chicago White Sox decided to give John Danks $65 million dollars despite underwhelming numbers that didn't seem to warrant that type of reward even when he signed the contract five years ago.

Danks has massively underperformed since the ink dried on that deal, and now he's simply fighting to keep his spot in the rotation in its final year.

The White Sox haven't lost since Danks' latest subpar effort and hope to get enough from him Thursday night against the Baltimore Orioles to extend their winning streak to seven.

Danks is the highest paid player on the team at $15.75 million this season, but he's lost all three of his starts with a 6.23 ERA. He received his lucrative extension in December 2011 after posting a 4.33 ERA that was his worst since his rookie year, and since signing he's had shoulder surgery, made only nine starts in '12 and has gone 25-47 with a 4.87 ERA.

The left-hander has lost each of his last six starts with a 6.21 ERA and opponents' batting average on balls in play of .358. His control issues caught up with him again last Thursday when he issued five walks and threw 100 pitches in six innings of a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
