Series opener is a day game for some reason. Lefty (Boyd) on the mound for Detroit. 

1. Anderson
2. LaMarre
3. Garcia
4. Davidson
5. Rondon
6. Moncada
7. Narvaez
8. Sanchez
9. Engel

Shields pitches

And if Shields is starting today, that means there is zero trade instance of substance for him.  *sigh*

What a line up

That's like an Ozzie Sunday special.

Things look pretty bleak without Jose in there.

Let’s strive mightily to win this game

People were saying that yesterday too . We won 7-3 with three homers so guys just have to step up and get the job done

Yea not a lot of real strong right handed hitters in that lineup even with a lefty on the bump.

Could be worse.......Charlotte batting Trayce Thompson in the six hole!

Picking up where they left off I see....excellent baserunning by the Sox

LaMarre looked terrible right there. 

Shields bails out LaMarre. Hell of a pickoff

He seems to do something like that every game

Pin this

I know Ricky isn't there, but Yolmer's lack of hustle right there was the most blatant of all year, yet he's still in the game. 

Jose Rondon is the DH?  Oh boy.  Just when you thought it may have hit rock bottom...

Come on, Delmonico is on a tear, he should be in the lineup.

Avi hitting .118 last 15 games.  I get gutting it out but he isn't helping.

Damnit Avi if you can't destroy lefties like you used too what good are you ? Get it together.

If anyone needs a day off it's him. LaMarre or Palka can spell him in RF.

Yeah, shut him down. Zero reason to play Avi or Abreu the rest of the season, no matter how pitiful the lineups may be. Who Knows? They might tank enough to pass KC for 2nd pick if they do that. Call up some fringe OFs and see what you have.

Castellanos is the new Raburn. Except he's actually good

Why didn't the Tigers trade him for prospects? Like, I know nothing about him, like his age or contract situation, except that he is a freaking good veteran baseball player on a rebuilding team.

He'd have two homers today if he could actually push off on his knee for his swing.  It's clear he should be shut down.

My god, giving up 5 runs against one of the worst lineups I've ever seen.  No desire to see Shields pitch another game for the White Sox.  He's done enough damage to the organization (except thanks for being the true Tank Commander)
