James Shields folks. We will always have two great things from his time here. One of them is the time Jame Shields caused the "feisty" Twins to lose their 3B coach and Manager in one inning by using an ingenious play on a recent rules change. The other?

Sure, but in this case, again, I'm trying to use induction to the best of my ability given many variables and imperfect information -- that the Sox have zero reason to lie about this. Like, are they telling Dunning -- "hey, bruh, this is a PR move, you're really having surgery in August, don't worry about the lost time we'll make it up down the road". I find that highly implausible. What I do find plausible is that given what ptatc has said and given the Sox' public statements that this is the best course of action as determined by their medical team and that they have honestly relayed that info to the fans.

Yea thanks for that info Cali, I'm a bit stoned and meant rubber obviously. I think after watching it a few more times he did step off. Good try by James honestly. Maybe sometimes you get the guy off base.

Start at Trout straight up or is that too aggressive?

He totally fucking balked. That was awesome when Ricky convinced the umps to convene. Good job there Rick. Does anyone think he stepped off the mount there? Looked like he was on the mound, pivoted and forgot the rules change. It's a stupid rules change never understood the point of it personally.

Good job James, you made Twinkie Town post this tonight:

To be fair the guy ran his mouth a bit and has mostly backed it up. If he can make 2-3 more starts like this he'll get his wish to play for a contender. The Mariners look like an obvious potential destination. He'd fit in nicely there imo.

Good win, on another note: Holy shit, looks like Arkansas got "Gordon Beckham'ed" tonight.

So far so good.

Enraging the Twins never gets old. Let's finish this one off and piss them off a bit more.

WTF just happened?

It's really nice having an athletic 2B and SS, even with all the boneheaded mistakes they make at times.

I think he's more Jose's Stan, personally.

Hope his wife knows.

@greg775 ????

There you go!

Jesus, yea I might make an exception for that as well.

Nice DP, half surprised that one didn't "fall" out of Jose's mitt.

Division is now projected 88 games under .500. Yikes. That would be the worst ever, unbalanced schedule era or otherwise.

Now Morneau wants TA to bunt and instead he swings and drives the run in. Haha.

Leury is another feather in the cap for the scouting and development team. He's turned into a nice player.

Morneau clowning himself tonight. Guy is trying to justify bunting in the 4th inning of a tie game.

Got any thoughts on Jose?

Well he's clearly ready to see more time on the bases. No, god no.

James Shields is pitching his ass off and you clowns are gonna blow it!
