vs. D-RAYS 6/02

[Flash- bd]

Matusz and Hellickson's lines are nearly identical through 5.

[Lucky Jim]

So, wonder if anyone wants to reconsider their skewering of Matusz throughout the off-season?

I have a good feeling about this game. I think the hitters will respond, grind out a couple of runs. Just keep dealing, Brian...

[scOtt]

Brian seems to have made a lot of adjustments since the beginning of the year. He was like 0-3 or 0-4 at one point. I am impressed with him lately.

Like I said earlier, I haven't seen him in about a month. He's night and day since then. Still not 100% back but very impressive!

Let's hang a crooked number guys.

Yes, I do. I'm not sure what was going on those first 5 weeks, but I'm happy to admit that I appear to be wrong on that account. But maybe I should without final judgment until he gets through the dreaded sixth inning tonight...

Hellickson dealing this inning. Nice breaking ball.

[erb8472]

Davis with a terrible AB.

Adair talking about that too, for the whole staff. The 4th and the 6th innings. 2nd and 3rd time thru the order.

Why the hell is Jones bunting with 2 outs and none on?????? :cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing:

[Crap!]

[erb8472]

Rays defense looks unbelievable this series so far.

He wasn't bunting. He pulled the bat back. Hitters do that sometimes to try to draw in the infield.

[RavNMadMan]

Crap how many more squared up balls are gonna go right at somebody? Cred to the Rays playing defense though
