Winning!

Sanchez is heating up.

Even if Sanchez hit .325 the final month, would anyone want him to have the 2b job over Lawrie and/or Saladino next year?

Shields is a total joke. Hahn absolutely should be fired for the acquisition. Might as well bench him and give Fulmer some starts. At this point, just have to pray Shields retires.

25 homers in 83 innings as a Sox pitcher. Comically bad

6 shutout innings for Fulmer tonight.

No way in hell. I'm guessing Lawrie will keep his job, but if anyone should replace him it's Saladino.

26 in 84....unreal

Hope this is the last time I ever see Shields in a Sox uniform. Can't let him pitch for Sox next year if you have any desire to contend

Shields velocity was down, even for him.

 

And Jacob Turner is not a big league pitcher

If there were a mercy rule, mercy.

Has a GM ever been fired while a game was going on?

He's the worst since at least Ed Short in the 1960s, and may be worse than him (not that familiar with Short's work).

 

 

Shields and Turner.

 

quite the eye for talent.

Shields ERA in a Sox uniform is 7.50.

 

Go home, James.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went and acquired James Shields. Our front office sought out the Padres and said "We need THAT guy!"

I am at a MILB game watching Pioneer League baseball. Fellow Sox fan in attendance. We both agree big game Shields is no MORE

Well Melky at least is still trying.

How do you know that he can't make a rebound next year?

 

Don't be such a reactionary.

Yeah, but a rebound undoubtedly puts him in the 5-5.5 ERA range. His "good" stretch this year included some crazy 0 for 48 stretch with RISP while he was striking out around 5.5 per 9/ip.

 

Basically, the best case scenario is John Danks from 2013-2015.

 

Reactionary is getting mad at Sale or Quintana when they have a bad start.

If we acquired Shields to net a top 10 pick, then it was a genius move.

Yep

And after allowing 10 runs in Safeco.

Incredible, isn't it.

Is the box score correct that Turner topped Shields in being s***acular?

I'd think about it if that was the case. He's already having another great year by the defensive metrics at 2B. It's a shame the bat isn't catching up though.

Unearned, but yeah.

 

The WHIP will suffer. Some had Turner in next year's pen.
