vs. TAMPA BAY RAYS 7/26

[bdlj0887]

Was Jennings ball deep? Manfra made it sound like it was going far at first?

I didn't see it, but you have to remember where that's coming from. Everything is deep to Manfra.

[Goober Noodles]

Well that ball sure carried.

.

At the very least, Tillman has avoided the disaster of his second start (it looked scary when he walked the first 2 batters of the game), and Gonzo Part II's game last night.

Plus, that was a nice, quick 1-2-3 inning just now, after flirting with trouble again in the second inning.

[Going Underground]

Time for a Thome steal.

Not at all. It was a big looking swing but he hit it towards the handle of the bat, weak contact. Upton's FB was hit farther and that was just a normal FB itself.

Time for a Thome steal.

No way. After laying low for 2 decades, Thome finally showed his true wheels when he swiped that base a couple of weeks ago. The book is out on him now. The Rays are ready for him.

I think Wieters beard is affecting his vision.

[Going Underground]

Seriously.I don't understand why he played yesterday at DH. He needs a day off. Even worse why would you bat him cleanup.

[Brendan25]

I'm not mad at Wieters. I'm mad at Buck for keeping him where he is.

[gmelson26]

I never thought I'd be typing these words but someone put Wilson Betemit in the 5 hole please... this is getting hard to watch

[Flash- bd]

Serioulsy.I don't understand why he played yesterday at DH. He needs a day off. Even worse why would you bat him cleanup.

I dunno, maybe because he mashes against lefties and because we have no one else to fill either of those roles vs. lefties? (DH, cleanup spot)

Playing Wieters as DH against lefties makes a lot of sense. It's not Buck's fault he's not hitting.

I don't mind him at DH but he looks lost and might have needed a day off to clear his head.

We wouldnt be able to score in any inning with Wieters and Davis back to back even if we somehow load the bases with no out

[Goober Noodles]

Strike 'em out throw 'em out double-plays are the best.

[Going Underground]

Davis has not struck out yet. The little things mean alot.
