Why do I have to start the gamethreads these days? I don't usually start them, but I guess you guys wanted me to start it because they won last night. 

2 scoreless with a K for Shields. Hopefully he has a few good starts in a row so they can launch him, though I don't know if it really makes sense if he gets to the end of August on the Sox.

Bauer is looking really sharp, that curve is unhittable.

 

But when he strikes Yoan out, it’s because Yoan’s a bust. The rest of the lineup gets a pass, of course

About that ....

 

 

Absolutely crushed

Oh shit Yoan, that was sexy

The reverse jinx worked!

 

As soon as he got to two strikes I’m sure a few posters had some bust posts typed out though

I was about to post that it looks like he has a hole in his swing with regard to the lower part of the zone. I was in the middle of typing it and then he made an in-at bat adjustment to how Bauer was pitching him and lit his ass up. Love to see stuff like that. That is true growth as a hitter.

I’m one of his biggest supporters on here so if that was sarcasm, I don’t get it

I've been critical of Moncada lately because his performance warrants it, but I still believe in him and He's still my favorite Sox rebuild prospect. I just can't deny he's sucked since May 1st.

Steve Stone just compared Moncada to Trout in terms of tools. Either he's stupid too or I'm not a moron for saying he has those skills. 

Anytime Avi has to move his body a disaster could happen. 

Benetti just ranting about anything

Great play Anderson, good scoop Abreu

Can you blame him? It must be really annoying to watch 150 ish games of horrid baseball.

He can hit for power, he has a good eye, he can run, and he could be a good defender. Probably not any of that to Trout’s extent but it makes sense.

Will Timmy ever walk again?  Ridiculous how long he's gone without a legit walk.

Such a meatball by Shields.

Damn that's who the red wings are playing. Always wanted to see charlotte 

The small market Indians are on their way to their 10th AL Central Division title since the division’s inception in 1994.  Conversely, the major market White Sox have won the division all of three times since the division came into being.   

Gotta love Yolmer being 1-25 off Bauer in his career being allowed to continue to bat 2nd despite being one of the worst hitters in baseball since the ASB.

Bauer takes a shot and leaves to a classy cheer from Sox fans. 

Terrible at bat by Anderson
