Another 2 strike hit.. this is just laughable.  

Goes to show you that who the catcher is doesn't matter all that much.  We have the best young catcher and one of the best overall and it doesn't matter one bit

[JR Oriole]

Tampa just hung 7 runs on Boston in the bottom of the 5th.  At least 5 of them with 2 outs.  Glad to see them burying Boston but good grief.  At Toronto will be the real test for them after 10 home games out of 13 and weaker opponents.

Uh Oh 2-2 count!

I'd feel more confident about Voth if he threw underhand

Why not use a batting practice machine?

I missed it, what did he say?

that guys last year overachieved, gotta wonder who can come up and replace a guy like Voth, etc.

[Fiver6565]

OK, a scoreless inning, that's a start.  Now lets try for just getting one guy on base next time!  Work our way to a 1-2-3

At least call Kriehbel up. 

They need someone that can provide some length. I'd consider Watkins or Zimmermann.

[Fiver6565]

good now we're getting gold glove defense and a shut down BP from Oakland, to go with their newly prolific offense.

True, that'd be better. 

[Winter]

Rays heading for 13-0 

[Moose Milligan]

Great steal for Cedric.  

Gotta wonder if anyone will be able to catch him and Mateo with these new rules.

If the A's score three more runs this game, they'll have half their season total in this series.

Adley’s just been a little under the ball today.
