"Big Game" James Shields has been anything but this postseason. He has hurled a total of 19.0 innings over four starts—and posted a
very unlucky ERA of 7.11. He's also given up four HRs over that span—including last night's first inning, two-run shot to
Hunter Pence. Overall this postseason, batters are hitting .337 against him. So, does this mean
Ben Cherington and the Yawkey Way 'brain trust' are re-assessing their reported desire to give Shields a four- or five-year contract? One would hope so! After all, some guy named
Jon Lester is
younger than Shields and wants to come back.
