Santander with a decent catch.......tough sun

Hello, sports fans!  Let's win this series! 

[Gurgi]

Kremer getting behind guys and missing badly.  This is not good. 

[mrbig1]

Kremer can't find the plate.

[Gurgi]

Try throwing a strike to start off the batter.  It makes it easier.  Kremer is pitching behind.  Awful start. 

[mrbig1]

Pitch count 22.

[Gurgi]

Very lucky....Kremer is playing with fire and wont last past the fifth at this rate.   Pitching behind will mean he has to groove pitches and the Rays will start swinging from their heels and launching the ball.  He needs to start by throwing strikes.

What a beautiful pitch, that 96-mph one

[justD]

That changeup was nasty

[Dunk35]

Rays just more pitch efficient. Kremer gonna struggle to 5ip.

TB is just a pitching factory. Doesn’t seem to matter who they throw out there, they aren’t going to give a bunch of runs. Have to pitch well against them every game.

Hays covering ground nicely in LF so far this evening.
