There haven't been too many innings like that recently, so it was fun to watch and a little surprising.

Welcome back Batty. Boy have you been missed.

It is so much fun when Timmy just takes over a baseball game. Get used to it.

He owed his team some big plays due to his fuck head base running earlier in the game.

Going up against Cy Berrios today with his 94 MPH sinker-curve. They caught him at just the right time back in May - he had a rough 3 game stretch from 4/29 to 5/10, but other than that, he’s been outstanding. That 3 game stretch did fuck up his overall ERA because he’s still sitting at 3.86. But he has a 0.95 WHIP with only 14 BB against 74 K in 74 IP. He’s been the victim of the long ball with 10 HR allowed. His changeup isn’t fooling anyone as of yet.

Ah, there is the ol' Shields we have come to know.

Omar Narvaez sucks. I do not remember him being this terrible last season.

Two is all Berrios might need today.

Wait until after this batter....

The piraña Twins are back.....

The old Shields is back, too.

Shields really is improving.

Usually, he's down 7 runs in the first inning.

Wow, Shields is just brutal.

He has been since the day he put on the black & white pinstripes.

he provides unparalleled levels of leadership to guys like Fulmer and Giolito. Hope they bring up some more prospects so some of his leadership can rub off on them.

His leadership WAR is off the charts

Right?!?

They keep telling us that line.

If it's truly real then make him an assistant bullpen coach or something. Just stop putting him out on the mound. He's killing us.

Well, at least we got a hit

Shields has actually had a run of pretty good starts up until today.

Exactly. There was talk that he might have trade value.

Exactly. He had to put an end to that nonsense.

He looked like shit his last time out, too...then started running his mouth about rebuilds.

DFA time.

_________________

Agreed - he was looking good there for a while.

I guess I'm looking at the bigger picture.

I want him to do well but when he's bad he's really bad.

Repackage him as an "innings eater"

Jose Abreu 23 doubles Hall of Fame World Series YES

Narvaez thrown out on base twice.....come on...the baserunning on this team

At least they got this L out of the way quick today. 2:14, fastest game of the year so far. Gives them more time to get to Boston so they can get their asses handed to them there.

The pain of this season is eased when they finish before you knew a game was scheduled for the day

I am at the point where I'm not really watching the White Sox. I am watching a few individual players. I haven't been to a game and its June.

If there is a good time in a person's life for his favorite team to suck, this is it. I have teams I coach and my kids that I watch, which prevent me from being focused on professional sports
