Woowwwww

Purke is not even close. Not one pitch has even remotely come close to the strike zone.

Shields is pissed at himself. He knows he should be doing better.

Is that finals game on yet? Geeze.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) There is NO reason this guy should pitch another game. He is a travesty out there. Stop sending him out there. Seriously. He gave up what...7 runs last game and his team comes back to bail him out then he turns around and does the same s***? C'mon man. These pitches aren't even close. He has no deception, and his strikes are meatballs. He's throwing batting practice.

How is Shields even a major league pitcher after this start? Good luck getting rid of him. There's some more money flushed down the toilet.

I would rather have Danks haha. Bet no one thought anyone could be worse

Well here we go with shields

Hawk and Stone went a good at least 2 minutes without saying anything...they are not doing a good job of commentating lol.

One thing the Sox have shown this series...they aren't quitters. They believe they can win and they will fight.

Was watching MLB Network and they were analyzing Shields...one of the guys said he thinks the reason these hitters, even the bottom of the order guys, are destroying shields is because of his delivery. His windup is almost like a pitching machine...it's extremely easy for hitters to time him because he is so predictable with the way he pitches, and his stuff isn't what it used to be so he isn't deceptive nor is he blowing guys away (bad recipe right there). He literally is throwing batting practice. I mean, the very first pitch he threw to Justin Upton was a changeup in the dirt...if anything that tells the hitter that he doesn't trust his fastball to throw it and get ahead. That gives hitters a world of confidence because they can just sit on his pitches and unload. Maybe he needs to change the way he delivers, but can he do that in this stage of his career?

Was at the game tonight. Fans were absolutely electric after that Abreu homer, and there was always a sense that they would comeback and win. They never gave up and kept fighting. I think this game shows what they are truly capable of, and that they know they always believe they have a fighting chance. I love this group of guys, even though they can be extremely frustrating. Hopefully this game will spark a much needed winning streak here.

Was at the game tonight..what an amazing game to go to!!!This team doesn't give up.

Going to the game tonight, hoping for a breakout game tonight with Shields on the mound, although signs don't point to any of that. Here's to hoping!!

What suburb do you think they would move to? Personally, I think it would be cool if there was a park built overseeing Lake Michigan. I always wondered why they didn't make US Cellular to face downtown. I think it would be close enough to give them some kind of decent looking background.

I think what they should do is watch a tape of a game of a good hitting team like say the Red Sox, and compare it with a tape of a game with their own offense and compare the two...and make the necessary adjustments based on what they see and learn

Post Game Live just absolutely tore apart the Sox offense..Garfein and Melton

Shields going tomorrow. See what he's got. Offense just doesn't have it going. Maybe Morneau will help this lineup, but when you have the middle of your lineup not hitting, and constantly getting runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs not driving them in, not much can help. Guys not doing what they are getting paid to do. It's all mental right now. They need a spark. Talent is there, momentum is not.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) Huh? Whats that supposed to mean He thinks the team is going to be relocated...

Avi is just a liability in every aspect...

I think Tim Anderson has strong potential to have a career similar to Rollins or even maybe Derek Jeter.

Nice first inning there by Q. Would be nice to get 7 or 8 innings out of him today

Wow nice pick by Avila

There really is nothing sweeter than handing KC a loss...and especially the 8th loss in a row.
