So far, short of the live broadcast that has yet to air, he's being introduced as being 4-6 and going up against Fister who's 7-5. Interestingly they do show the ERA, but alas, nothing about how many wins they've had in their last nine starts, nothing about any family member who won a pie contest, nothing about having won yard of the month any number of months over the last nine months, and nothing about what their eye colors are. Nope, it's 7-5 Fister against 4-6 Shields and their ERAs (which Shields' is better!)...
I'm happy we've won those games, and that's the common ground we stand on. And that's a good thing...

You probably thought it was great when the Royals signed 19-game winner Storm Davis, am I right?
TV broadcasts also reverently reference bullshit things like giving up outs early in games to advance runners or hitting with RISP like it is truly a scientific process and a variety of other things that speak to old-school fans or Lowest Common Denominator fans. Doesn't make those things any LESS bullshit.
