You gotta let Tim run here...

So "innings eater" Shields who will "save our bullpen" has now caused the 2nd BP pitcher to come out and counting. Top of the 6th. Where is SS2k5?

Out by a mile.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) Parnell's K% (left) and BB% (right) between the minors and majors last 2 years: Pretty unbelievable he's pitching in a tight MLB game. That's nothing. We gave up an MLB ready ball player and a high round pick for James Shields and $27 Million dollars.

How did Lawrie not reach 2nd though, with the throw home? Not that it matters, but that's the kind of thing you have to take advantage of.

That pitch before the single....oof. Need more from Jose than singles.

C'mon Jose....Need a bomb here.

Well, Tim is doing just great at the top of the order. Thanks, Adam.

105 pitches...for 5 IP. Clown.

That's 3 dingers from our awesome catching tandem in 4 games. Thanks, Robin?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) The dream currently is that we can trade him off eating some of the salary we owe him while Padres also pay him over half. Yeah...that was funny.

Dodgerd a bullet. A grand slam would've been icing on the cake.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) #RobinGoneRogue I don't remember that. I do remember him barking about Desmond after Cespedes went to the Mets. That was certainly way before June.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Ian Desmomd, Ian Desmond...you wanted to sign him in June. Now, with hindsight signing him was the obvious move you wanted them to make all along. But it wasn't. $10 million for Latos, $8 million for Parra and sign Desmomd in June. That is Caulfield without hindsight. No so good. Although I did appreciate how when Duke stunk up the joint a week or so ago,you claimed you were against that move from the beginning. I will get in trouble if I show your actual post in the Duke signing thread, but let's just say, your memory is a bit off. He was high on Desmond though the whole off-season. Gotta give him that.

There's a first batter BB...

Over/under line on how many Shields gives up this inning? I vote 2.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) I wouldn't blame Robin if he made Shields go 9 innings tonight. Seriously. If he has any brains - he will do just that. This is what the FO gave him. Let there be no ambiguity about that.

Meh....said the same thing about Coats vs Sands. There is no hitting to bring up, in reality.

No worries guys. Coats is up with 2 on. We'll be back in to this in.... nevermind. 3 pitches; inning over. Thanks, Robin.

At least he's running up the pitch count.

I want to read more about how giving up Erik Johnson, Tatis Jr, Latos, and $27M for Shields....was smart.

Holy s*** Shields sucks.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) This game was over before the Sox could even come to bat. Amazing how much of a fall this entire team has taken, lol. Can't help but just laugh at this point. Yeah, no s***. 3 Runs might as well be 30. They haven't even scored 3 runs in the last 2 games.

3 Runs, 19 pitches, 2 on and 2/3 of an IP... Looks like Shields is doing some "innings eating" again....

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) Yeah...when you put it that way, I'm even more annoyed with the Shields deal.
