Tampa Bay +100 Shields VS Bard? BARRRRDDD???

[ridims]

Double bubble.

You got to be kidding me....

im guessing you havent seen shields record at fenway.. not to mention his BABIP last year. hes due for a regression in 2012 not worth the risk IMO

[fergie's balls]

Take a look at Sox #s vs Shields. No play.

You are right.

Although the Rays get to face Bard who imo shouldn't be a starter. This could very well be a long high scoring game.

could well be, especially if the sox have to go to the bullpen for 4+ innings. having said that morales, atchison and padilla have gone 15 1/3 innings and given up 2 runs so far so thats been a pleasant start

lets see - in 18 innings vs Boston - bard has given up 2 runs.

I am not sure why you think he shouldnt be a starter either....he has a solid ERA, BAA and Whip

lets see how long he lasts in his first start against the rays.
