In
his last two starts, White Sox leftie John Danks has pitched 11 straight
scoreless innings, to bring his ERA down to 5.66. This is progress, of a sort. Another 11 and Danks could get it under 4.
It’s
funny. Danks had a rough spring but
didn’t worry about it. Erik Johnson had
two bad starts, and he’s sent back to Triple-A.
I’m sure the Sox weren’t influenced by Danks’ $14 million dollar
contract. You can’t send that back to
the minors.
And
let’s not forget Jacob Turner, who, after getting shelled in his last
appearance, said he’d starting bearing down.
Never mind, at least that’s what I’m thinking after Turner was given a
two-run lead to protect yesterday. He
made it through the eighth only to give up a two-run homer in the ninth and a
walk-off in the tenth. But, hey, at
least he wasn’t getting beat by any seeing-eye bingles, though Turner’s pitches
probably had hitters’ eyes bulging.
