Kinda been oddly enjoying Shields starts this year. Guys been solid.

Our lineup is a dumpster fire though. We have to lead MLB in situations of getting men in RISP with no outs and not scoring a run in the inning.

The O's reliever Givens is solid

Hot damn!

Yolmer with the "grindy" at bat

That was a really nice win with 3 runs in the 8th. Now have won 5 of the last 9. Pitching has been stabilized.

Only eight and a half out of first place!

Going to be tough to win anything with Ricky as manager. Run into two outs a game on base paths. And then you have the Tim Anderson and Adam Engel issues.

Really like that guy and I had never heard of him before this series.

He's still bunting. Fireable offense unless Hahn was too stupid not to tell him to knock it off last off season. In which case, fire both of them. And I'm dead serious. Sac bunting makes me want to sign up for Jihad. The Koran is very clear about sac bunting.

It cracks me up when he benches players for not hustling. I’m waiting for him to bench himself for getting pantsed by the opposing manager on a nightly basis.

He should bench Anderson and Engel for their horrendous play.

Here's the problem with that. I don't think it's Renteria specifically. It seems as if it's deeply organizational. Both Guillen and Ventura foolishly bunted and and gave away many outs on the bases.

The White Sox have been obsessed with bunting and the running game going back to Aparicio and Fox maybe even all the way back to the Hitless Wonders. But those teams needed to play that way as it was damn near impossible to hit homers in their ballpark.

And I wouldn't mind it nearly so much if you had guys who could actually execute these things. But they don't.

I've always complained about this with some of the old timers. The team that always beat the Sox was the Bronx Bombers, not the Bronx bunters. I guess yelling Go-Go every time someone got on base was enough of a fun memory to forget the losing.

The oldtimers are full of shit. Just dig up Earl Weaver. He'll tell you.

There was a lot more winning than losing.

Castillo out for steroids....????

Should Timmy have turned the double play when the O’s got their run?

Yoan crushed that one.

Big man chugging around to score.

Another multi-hit game for Abreu.

Another solid AB and 2 out RBI from Jose.

Alex Cobb sucks.

Dylan Covey has a good arm. Not saying he's a starter, but I did not know he threw 95 so effortlessly. Good movement on the pitches as well. Looks like he could be a nice bullpen arm at least.

Yeah as long as he's throwing strikes he's not bad.

If the evil northsiders could get even a hit we may only be 7.5 back this time tomorrow.
