Danks' AAA debut

After a somewhat shaky first inning with two walks, Danks has really settled down nicely.  He has allowed only one hit through 5 innings, and has 4 strikeouts.  The 4th and 5th innings were both 3 up and 3 down.  

On somewhat of the same note, I was thinking after Diamond's game (last night I believe) if he wasn't trying to overdue things with Danks getting promoted.  Maybe that got in his head a little bit?

Strange comment in OK game notes:
"Noteworthy: Lefty Danks has an unusual delivery. He moves his front (right) foot forward, then moves his left foot directly behind the right, to far right side of the rubber, before throwing the ball."
