Cold Slushy time.

Kind of funny that he pitched on 7-11.

Valaika looks much more comfortable at 2B than he did at SS.

Went to one game there, one of the Rays' first few seasons.  We all took a friend to Tampa for a bachelor party and and the game was one of our activities.  Felt so weird, sitting front row upper deck behind home plate and being indoors.

I've seen football games in indoor stadiums and it doesn't feel was weird.

Honestly I'd rather see Eshelman stay in the rotation Thursday and Akin go down to pitch every 5th day in Norfolk when Means comes off the IL tomorrow.

Let Akin/Lowther/Kremer spend at least a month pitching regularly in AAA and see if ANY of them can put together any consistency to show they deserve another shot 

With respect, I disagree, I want to keep Akin up but pair him with Lopez. Akin is not a 6-inning guy, but neither is Lopez but they complement each other well.

Eshelman has no future. But Akin might.

This YouTube game tomorrow night better not be some way to get me to sign up for a free week trial in an effort for me to forget about it a week later and get charged.

 Outdoors is best. With real grass. I hate playing baseball inside. It’s just wrong

Akin maybe having a possible future is WHY I want him to go to AAA and get right.  

So if you pair Akin/Lopez and send Eshelman down tomorrow who is your 5th starter.  You would be adding Means to the rotation but subtracting Eshelman and Lopez.

Would not bother me.

I hate that crap. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve done that.

It is not on YouTube tv, which is the pay service.  It is on plain old YT, free for anyone with an internet connection.
