he would have gotten to first quicker.

Walk all the Angels!!

James Shields is on pace for 27 K’s & 9 HR’s.  I think I’ll take that line.

6 Ks, 2 HRs through 2

It baffles me how the 2018 version of James Shields can miss bats like this, but Reynaldo Lopez can't miss bats to save his life.

one is pitching one is throwing.

Also, Shields’ xFIP is at -1.21 tonight...lol.

Trout and Pujols aren’t rookies for sure 

drops in a casual 71 mph looping overhead curve for first pitch strike.  damn.

his stuff is as good as Rodon's last night.

They had basically the same K rate coming into tonight.  The problem for Lopez is relying too much on the fastball & slider and completely ignoring the change & curveball.

Also, why do you always exclude Giolito from these comparisons?  His K rate is much worse than Lopez’s.

Renteria is relentless about Engel in the lineup

Adam Engel is going to be a fucking meme in the WS year I hope.

lol engel

I generally try to avoid the shit-talking of all things White Sox that occurs in game threads, but why on earth is Adam Engel still on this team?

Mostly because I don't count anything Giolito did this season before around June 15. He's missing more than Lopez the last few weeks. Once he stopped flying open, he became much better. Working through severe delivery  issues at the big league level in a lost season is deserving of a mulligan.

FTFY.

The infield camera work leaves a lot to be desired in this series.

LMFAO

 

To further my comment on Giolito, I'm going to reserve more judgment until i see how his changeup does now that he's switched from the circle change to the straight change.  it might help him get more swinging strikes on his fastball as well.

Pitches too straight?
