0-31 with RISP over the past few games.. things will even out. But as I said when he was struggling - (and when the Sox started off hot then got cold) everything regresses to the mean. He's not as bad as he was then, and not as good as his ERA is suggesting now.

 

Just like the Sox, not as good as they were in April and May and not as bad as they were in June.

 

Shields will give you a 4-4.20ERA and 190-210IP for $9mm a year. Not bad.

Sox are an 83-85 win team as currently constructed. Untouched for the rest of the year? They will probably end in that range.

 

 

 

Mired in Mediocrity.

Someone on twitter said it's all smoke and mirrors, his FIP is high and so is his BABIP.

 

Latos part deux?

He's obviously pitching better than he really is, and it really stands out due to his horrendous first three starts with the Sox. But, I would imagine he'll level out as a guy who will give you a 4-ish ERA while eating 180+ innings. For what the Sox are paying him, that's not bad.

isn't that really what most people projected before the season started? if it weren't for the BLAZING HOT start i think playoff expectations would have been tempered.

I want to say the average was in the 86 to 88 range. Most people felt a team on the cusp of the playoffs, but not quite the playoffs IIRC.

Some folks just can't be positive at all

 

PNoles was tweeting that stuff last week. Trying to diminish his effort. All I know is the results are better after his first four starts or so.
