That walk total has to come down by like half if he is going to be decent this season. EDIT: just saw that was only his first two starts, and not including today. My guess is that five hits and three more walks isn't going to help that FIP at all. For the record I was being very, very sarcastic. James Shields is terrible.
April 17, 20178 yr Enjoying this for as long as it lasts. Gotta give Avi credit, he's knocking the s*** out of the baseball. Great job by the pen too.

But that actually brings up a question, as I'm not sure if inside the park homeruns factor in because they're in the field of play. Does anyone know?

April 18, 20178 yr If we can win one game against the Yankees we will return after the road trip at .500. That's pretty good considering that there a lot of team under .500 that are supposed to be good but might end up suking.
