Boy, do we look bad offensively against these pitchers.And cant even take long AB's.

They are the top pitching staff in the league, they make pretty much every team look bad offensively.

Yes, we do look bad on offense.

This first inning is big for Gonzo Part II.

He really needs to have a scoreless first to keep the team up (I think.)

Agree. We will bust out against Shields tonight though.

Red Sox doing their part by taking 2-0 lead. Orioles having embarassing at bats and giving away outs - so in other words, they are doing their usual part as well.

You're a breath of fresh air

Already that kind of game thread, eh?

Ain't the beer cold.

This is where you'll see the Rays' lack of focus. Tough to have good AB's when you have nothing to play for.

IMO, and I know Im in the minority, if we are still one game down tomorrow, I wouldnt burn Tillman. I'd take my chances with Jake or someone else. The idea of burning your best pitcher in a game

that may end up inconsequential when the one game do or die looms on Friday, is a waste. Thats just my opinion.

I agree. Save Tillman for the WC. If that's where we end up.

You're one of my favorite posters. You stay positive and I read every post as if you're Manny Machado saying it with this face

"Pedroia upset he didn't play yesterday."

Starts tonight with a double.

I wouldn't mind if they didn't go hard on some hard hit grounds balls

Couldn't be happier to share my thoughts.

Personally...I'd start Jake regardless. I'll take Arrieta vs Tampa over Arrieta/Johnson/Saunders/Britton vs NYY/OAK/TEX.
