Anderson isn't ready for the show. He should still be down in Charlotte.

I'm trying to remain optimistic about the rest of this game. If the pitching can keep the Tigers to no more than 1 more run I'd be happy and then it's up to the offense to score some damn runs for once.

Well, we knew Anderson's plate discipline was an issue

 

But he took the first 3 balls nicely. The whole line up swings at ball 4 all the time except Avila

Sox answer back so nicely

At least abreu came around lately. We just need Eaton back on track too. We won't succeed if one of Eaton/Abreu/Frazier is struggling at a given moment

How many runs with Shields give up this inning?

About the dumbest thing I've read a long time. You might as well say Eaton, Abreu, Frazier, Lawrie, Garcia, Navaro, Coats, and Schuck are all not ready for the show and should still be in the minors.

Solid attempt Avi

Four easy ground balls with one being a squibbet for a hit. Anderson as the lead off hitter needs ductwork a walk when offered to him

The good news is all the scouts in attendance tonight will see how good of a defender Avi is. Definitely better off DHing Coats for that reason.

OMG why did he not just run to the wall and then try and catch that.

 

Now a hit comes after what should have been an out.

Anderson really isn't ready though. And half of those guys aren't MLB caliber hitters, they're just eating a roster spot, so even your hyperbole is wrong.

Shields isn't close with his pitches. Just DL the motherf***er

Another pitcher who is terrible at stopping the run game

God Garcia sucks. It must be fun for a tigers fan to watch this s*** show. f***ing poethetic

I actually feel bad for Robin tonight, nothing he can do about this nonsense.

Interesting, but probably nothing. BarstoolWSD (guy who broke the Shields trade) has a hunch Ventura could be fired after tonight's game.

This is unreal. On what planet did the front office think Shields would pitch well here

This team is borderline unwatchable.

Clearly Robin was a fool for starting Avila Shields' first start.he is very familiar with Navarro, and tonight's results prove it.

Way to keep the run game in check Shields
