Over/under on Shields runs allowed tonight? I'll say +/- 5.5 and go with the over.

Winning this series handily would make it nearly impossible for the White Sox to wind up with a protected pick (if there is such a thing next year after CBA negotiations). Ergo, Shields having a strong start slightly hurts the White Sox, long term, if you consider them to be out of the race this year.

 

1 run, 7.1 innings. Followed by an implosion next time out just to make it clear.

Protected pick makes it more likely they sign a stupid player.

 

Inning over.

Avi is a regular Avi out there

Truly amazing how bad Shields is with 2 strikes. His pitches have nothing on them.

Here come the meatballs. Fire Hahn!

Always bet on black unless James shields is wearing black then bet on red

Shields has the worst body language in Sox history

Guess you don't remember Mopeface Jones

Shields just doesn't have it anymore. 45 pitches in 2 innings, 2 runs allowed. Looks like he has confidence, and this is one of the worst offenses in the majors

He's just done

Shields gave up two runs with twivoyts But at least there were no homers allowed

His velocity isn't even bad. To me his changeup sucks now, and that was always his best pitch

Or Jaime Navarro.

He is not on baseball reference. Are you making him up? Let's not take away Shields title he rightfully earned.

He also just seems to have no idea where his pitches will end up. They are guaranteed to end up as a ball or in the stands as a souvenir which will rate as a great day for a lucky fan

Guaranteed Rate guy went to all the 2005 World Series games. Seems very genuine. Ty Pennington in the booth too.

Yeah, all his offspeed pitches have no deception. I wonder what the Sox will do with him in the off season, seeing as it is almost a guaranteed loss (no pun intended) with him on the mound, and that isn't an exaggeration at all.

Ole Mopeface wasn't in B/R? Yeah I made him up. Good ole mopeface

Is it just me or has the team given up tonight?

At this point, just pray he retires. He's finished as a big league starter.

Looks like a similar effort as to last Shields start. Can't believe they aren't more energized with this ball of charisma on the mound.
