Other Games - Week of June 13

LOL!!! Second pitch of the game by James Shields is deposited into the left field bleachers by Ian Kinsler. Next pitch after that is a single to right center. Boo birds out early.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I don't understand why we need PBP of James Shields. did I miss something?

[PackLandVA]

Not play by play. Just thought it was amusing that his first pitch was a HR and his next pitch a single. Then the boos started.

Eh, its funny, in my opinion. Gave up 10 in 2.2 in his last SD, gave up 7 in 2 innings for his first start for the WS, and now has given up 7 in 3 and 2/3 so far tonight. Hawk called him a guy that'd pitch in any rotation in baseball and acted like it was a game changing type of trade.

It's funny to me because we've been linked to Shields a few times and I feel like that was a bullet dodged.

Plus he chose SD over us because he said they were ready to contend immediately and for a long time.

Maeda took a Goldschmidt line drive off his leg and it doesn't look good.

It's almost enough to feel sorry for the Dodgers.

 

 

 

But not quite.

That looked bad, right off his knee it looked like. Assuming he goes to the DL, I don't know if I've ever seen a more impressive starting rotation on the DL for one team..... Maeda/Ryu/McCarthy/Anderson/Wood

On the Dodgers broadcast they said it didn't hit his knee but hit his shin.

Blake Snell looks like a very tall 14 year old

Colby Lewis has a perfecto thru 7 against the A's.

The pirates are broken. Their beanball meltdown they are sure to have this weekend is going to annoy me.

As long as they don't hurt anyone and nobody on our team does anything stupid in retaliation to get suspended I'm all for the free base runners

It's a shame that we are going to ruin our record against +.500 teams when we send them under this weekend

Apparently Stephen Piscotty is hitting .509 with risp.

Shields is continuing his quest to redefine suck.

James Shields is getting lit up again.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

hahah... Shields is so bad.

I think he may be dead.

 

The Sox would probably have been better off keeping Latos and not making that trade.

They just lit $27 million on fire.

Despite how awful he has gotten, I'm somehow convinced it would've gone very differently here. We don't screw up, Edwin Jackson aside.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Did James Shields grow up hating the White Sox? Because I've heard of guys having a rought adjustment period to a new team, but he's been beyond brutal.
