TODAY CARD IS FULL OF PITCHERS I HAVE PLAYED RECENTLY AND LOST ON.... SOME MAY THINK I AM CHASING FOR A WIN, WHILE A FEW HERE KNOW THAT WHEN I HANDICAP MY GAMES I LIKE SITUATIONS INVOLVING LHP..... MAYBE THE LOSSES I TOOK FROM THESE PITCHERS WERE CORRECT AS THE SITUATION I THOUGHT WASNT PLAYED OUT..... MAYBE TODAY IS THAT SITUATION...... SITUATION OR NOT, TODAY IS THEIR JUDGEMENT DAY!!! 2 SUPERPLAYS ON THE CARD FOR TODAY

MINNESOTA VS CHI-TOWN (SUPERPLAY)

I LOST A BIG PLAY WITH THIS KID DANKS IN HIS LAST START WHERE HE JUST DIDNT SHOW UP..... NOW HE COMES BACK HOME AND FACES A MINNESOTA TEAM WHO HAVENT GOTTEN OVER BEING SWEPT BY THE YANKEES AS EVIDENT OF LAST NIGHTS 6-2 LOSS.....

DESPITE DANKS L3 STATS, I STILL HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN HIM TO REBOUND TONIGHT.... USUALLY I WONT PLAY DANKS AT HOME UNLESS ITS A GOOD SITUATION AS HE ISNT A GOOD HOME PITCHER (8-12 WITH A 4.48 ERA) BUT WHEN HE IS AT HOME FACING MINNESOTA ILL BACK HIM EVERYTIME.....

HE OWNS A 2-1 RECORD IN 4 LIFETIME STARTS AVERAGING PER A GAME 6 INNINGS / 5 HITS / 2.3 RUNS /4.8 K'S AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ~ THE TWINS HAVE ONLY 1 HR AGAINST IN THOSE GAMES.... CURRENTLY IN THE GAMES HE STARTS AT HOME CHI-TOWN HAS WON 3 IN ROW INCLUDING A MONSTER PERFORMANCE IN LATE SEPTEMBER WHERE DANKS THREW 8 INNINGS OF 2 HIT SHUTOUT BALL..... HIS ONLY LOSS CAME EARLY IN 2007 AGAINST ONE OF TODAYS BEST JOHAN SANTANA....

LOTS OF NEGATIVE THINGS ARE BEING SAID ABOUT HIM INCLUDING COVERS BIG WRITE-UP ABOUT HIM BEING ONE PITCHER TO FADE OVER THE NEXT FEW STARTS~ HTTP://WWW.COVERS.COM/ARTICLES/ARTIC...?THEART=170699 ..... SO IMO I EXPECT ANOTHER BIG PERFORMANCE FROM HIM TONIGHT AGAINST THESE TWINS AND/OR THE WHITE SOX HITTERS TO PROVE THESE CRITICS WRONG....

IT SHOULDNT BE THAT HARD AS TWINS THROW LIRIANO WHO IS 0-2 IN 3 STARTS AGAINST THESE WHITE SOX WITH A 6.94 ERA IN 11.2 INNINGS OF WORK WHILE GIVING UP 9 RUNS WITH 8 WALKS.... BOTTOM LINE IS HE REALLY ISNT THE SAME PITCHER HE USED TO BE, ESPECIALLY ON THE ROAD WHERE HIS ERA IS A WHOPPING 6.14 WITH A WHIP OF 1.58.. I CANT SEE HOW ANYONE CAN BACK A PITCHER WHO HAS 17 WALKS IN 22 INNINGS OF WORK ON THE ROAD.....

OH YEAH DID I MENTION THAT ON APRIL 11TH HE TOOK THE LOSS AGAINST THESE SAME WHITE SOX GIVING UP 5 RUNS / 4 WALKS IN 4 AND 2/3 INNINGS.....

ENOUGH SAID ....... WHITE SOX WITH JOHN DANKS TONIGHT !!!!!!
SMALL PLAY UNDER

I WILL BE PLAYING AN ADDITIONAL 5 UNITS TO THIS SUPERPLAY MAKING IT A 15***

TEXAS VS DETROIT (SUPERPLAY)

THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP PLAYS AND AS I WAS BEGINNING TO WRITE A DETAILED WRITE-UP I NOTICE KEITH ALREADY HAD ONE UP..... (THX FOR SAVING ME SOME TIME TODAY) .... JUST A FEW MORE TIDBIT STATS THAT KEITH DIDNT HAVE...

THIS YEAR TEXAS OFFENSE ~~ SLG(.485) OPS(.815)
AGAINST VERLANDER IN 77AB'S SLG(.312) OPS(.630)
TEXAS HITTERS HAVE ONLY 1 HR LIFETIME AGAINST VERLANDER (77AB'S)
- KINSLER AND YOUNG ARE A COMBINED 5-28 (.178) WITH 7K'S
- TEXAS TOP 5 RBI LEADERS HAVE COMBINED FOR (2 RBI'S IN 46 AB'S)

~ DETROIT OVERALL AGAINST TEXAS ~ 4-0 THIS YEAR AND 14-6 LAST 3 YRS
~ DETROIT AT HOME VS TEXAS~ 9-0 RUN AND 10-3 LAST 3YRS

~UMPIRE SCOTT BARRY HAS FAVORED GAMES TO THE UNDER THIS YEAR (5 STRAIGHT UNDER GAMES) HE ALSO HOLDS A 1.99 SO/BB RATIO AVERAGING 14 K'S PER A GAME.... LIFETIME (62%) FOR THE HOME TEAM WHEN BEHIND THE PLATE..... GREAT STATS FOR UNDER PLAYERS BUT JUST BE CAREFUL ON THIS ONE... MAKE ONLY SMALL PLAY ON THIS AS DETROIT MIGHT SCORE 9 THEMSELVES TONIGHT

DETROIT
SMALL PLAY ON A SNEAKY OVER

TORONTO VS BOSTON

BRETT CECIL.... ROOKIE PITCHER.... 2-0 WITH A 1.80 ERA ..... YES I LOST PLAYING AGAINST HIM WITH CWS JOHN DANKS ...TORONTO OFFENSE WAS JUST TOO MUCH THAT DAY....SO I WILL BE PLAYING AGAINST HIM ONCE AGAIN HERE ON THE ROAD WITH BOSTON AND BRAD PENNY..... I STILL DONT THINK HE IS THAT GREAT AS HIS STATS HAVE COME AGAINST POWERHOUSE OFFENSES OF THE WHITE SOX, ATHLETICS, AND INDIANS..... REMEMBER WHAT I SAID IN THAT LAST WRITE-UP ABOUT THIS KID..... IN 17 MINOR LEAGUE STARTS HE WAS KINDA DOMINATE IN AA BALL GOING 6-2 WITH A 2.55 ERA IN 18 GAMES SPORTING A 1.14 WHIP AND AVERAGING 10K'S A GAME ..... BUT WHEN HE WAS CALLED UP FOR AAA LAST YEAR AND EARLY THIS YEAR, THOSE NUMBERS BALLOONED AS HE WENT ONLY 2-6 WITH A 5.55 ERA IN 10 STARTS WHILE THE WHIP BLEW UP TO 1.55....

WELL I WAS WRONG PLAYING AGAINST HIM WITH THE WHITE SOX OFFENSE AND I MIGHT BE WRONG TODAY WITH THE RED SOX.... OVER THE LAST 10 GAMES THE RED SOX OFFENSE IS ONLY HITTING .259 SCORING 4.1 PER A GAME..... BUT I WILL STILL SIDE WITH THE VETERAN PITCHER BRAD PENNY AT HOME AGAINST THE ROOKIEE IN BOSTON FACING TORONTOS OFFENSE WHICH TOO HAS SLOWED DOWN AS THEY ARE EVENLY MATCHED OVER THE LAST 10 SCORING 4.45 RPG WHILE BATTING .270
