Last night had to have been a fluke. I'm a big Rays fan, but I cant stand Jeff Niemann.

True story. He's definitely mediocre at best.

While he's not Cy Young material, when healthy .......he's a solid fourth or fifth starter.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Exactly. I have been extremely impressed with Shields this year though so far. He seems to be in better condition this season than in years past. With him and Price going 8+ start after start, the fact that we lost an entire bullpen is becoming obsolete.

Shields also tweaked his delivery.

His turnaround has been nothing short of amazing. His change up is now one of the best in the game.

I just hope he can keep it up.
