QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) So the Sox have their biggest comeback win in 14 years last night. Avi gets a big hit to tie it in the 9th, so naturally, a thread started to praise him for the AB, dissolves into a discussion about how much he sucks. Again. Some of you guys need a new hobby. well said. Seems when fans try and say something good about the team or a player it just has to dissolve into negativity acid

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) Completely disregarding the initial post, realistically, something is going on with Shields. My guess is that he is tipping pitches. Go back to truly bad pitchers, such as John Danks, and they didn't get hit nearly as hard as Shields has been getting hit. He is getting hit like people know what is coming. My hope is that because Shields got better as the game went on, that means he is figuring out whatever is wrong. We'll see. I think this is a better evaluation of the situation than originally suggested. He is either tipping or he is hurt. I actually thought he looked better in the last couple innings he threw last night

QUOTE (Doc Edwards Shot @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 04:51 AM) Has Shuck gotten a hit this season? If he has, I must have missed it. Geez he sucks! I think he did have a single once maybe twice this season. I dont remember any power though. That DH spot is like a dark hole for the SOx

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 04:25 AM) The little things are showing up in this game. When you are struggling it seems you never catch a break

Hope that last inning wasn't a momentum killer for the Sox

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 03:37 AM) He was going to score The RFer got the ball in to quick

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 03:23 AM) He was called up because Petricka and Webb are done for the season. As much as I disagree with bringing in Danish in a close game, Shields was only able to throw four innings and that limits RV's options. I would've brought Jennings in, but there aren't enough arms in the bullpen to cover five innings of work per night on a semi-regular basis. Hahn really needs to bring in a dedicated long-reliever for situations like this. You have to use the pitchers you have and can't burn a few guys out with overuse. what they need to do is their job

Danish walks the lead off batter. Then a vssehut runner to third hitter out at second on throw. IBB and the another hit scores the runner. Danish couldn't find the zone. 8-6

Danish comes in and walks the lead off batter

7-6 now

Jose with a solud hit and his third RBI. We are still in this game ladies

Shields with a real nice inning there. Maybe he figured it out. I bet he is out there for the sixth

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 02:35 AM) Looking silly and not making plays are two different things. I don't think that an above-average RF would've caught that ball. I don't think he had a chance for that ball

Once again three pitches to Coats and he k's. He is overmatched cup here

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 02:16 AM) Abreu is definitely back. We missed you buddy That was a laser shot homer. Maybe he can motivate the others

We are watching a t ball game

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 01:59 AM) This is the guy who was hitting .335 in AAA? JFC I'm done watching this game Three pitches and Coats is out.Coats swing is ridiculous

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 01:55 AM) Are there people here who still think we have a chance this season? Yes

I have nothing...

Four easy ground balls with one being a squibbet for a hit. Anderson as the lead off hitter needs ductwork a walk when offered to him

To be fair to Shields I di agree that if that ball had been caught by Avi in RF this innings would be different

TV announcers beside Cooper has been working with Shields on some things. Must have been the wrong things

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 01:16 AM) I mean, off a 10 run performance, they had to give him a thorough physical to complete the trade. You would think so. But, I am seeing someone who doesn't look sharp. He seems to be guiding the ball. Is he hurt? But, whatever this us absolutely pathetic

Interesting to see Shilds tonight. Hope he brings his A game
