I don't know who James Shields is or where he came from, but he's gotten the shaft so far - a .364 BABIP has left his ERA more than a run north of his FIP. Which isn't that weird considering the context (Tampa Bay's defense has been the worst in the AL and second-worst in baseball, at -41 outs), but it's still a rude introduction to the Majors. Let's hope that keeps up for at least one more day.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
