Rays/May thread 

Post#1 » by craig01 » Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:09 pm

It's Hellickson against King Hernandez tonight.

Both pitchers are on my fantasy team....so here's to a low scoring game with a lot of K's

Rays win, but Longoria out for awhile... 6 to 8 weeks? that is going to be tough.

Finally a win for Moore. Didn't watch the game tonight but whenever a team allows only 1 run it's always a good game for the pitchers.

James Shields on the mound tonight against someone I've never heard of before. I expect an easy win tonight.

Already I'm wrong. . . Shields allowed a 3 run homer in the 1st inning after striking the first 2 batters out.

Happened about 15 minutes ago, but, Sean Rodriguez hit a 2-run homer to bring the Rays to within one run.

Rodney with another save. Man the ray can revive relief pitchers' careers like crazy.

Rodney was really good a couple of years ago......then struggled with command.

He's been deadly so far this year.......and yeah the Rays' front office is either very lucky or really brilliant. I'll take either...

Rays definitely need to sweep the A's and get as many wins as they can because they are coming up on a tough part of the schedule. The Yankees, the surprise Orioles, Jays, Sox, Braves its going to be a tough month in my opinion.

It's been a great start thus far.

Luke Scott just continues to be productive, and the rotation is finding some consistency now that their BB's have been cut down.

Scott has been amazing this year just hope he can stay healthy the entire year and if he can't hopefully Matsui has something left in the tank and will be able to produce for the Rays this year.

A suicide squeeze failed last night and the Rays lose 4-3.

Moore can't throw strikes again today, and gets hammered.

Yuk.

Now with the Magic out of the playoffs I'm going to be paying more attention to the Rays. Not a great start last night by Shields though.

Why is this Nunez guy playing 3B over A-Rod? He's REALLY bad. Two errors already.

He's supposed to be good defensively.

He doesn't play much, so A-rod gets a break from the diamond.

Price was very shaky. Ugh

Rays are struggling offensively, defensively, on the base paths, along with the rotation at times unable to find the strike zone.

And yet.......trail Baltimore by a single game and are playing .600 ball.
