6.4 0.64 0.24 0.1 6.7 49 4.02

I'm torn on this match-up. Kazmir is a fly ball pitcher versus a homerun team, but he gets a ton of swinging strikes and the Sox give them away like lollipops at the doctor's office.

Platoon splits show they are slightly better against lefties than righties:

LINK

The sample is quite a bit smaller and Scotty isn’t your average lefty, but it could mean that if he does struggle, we might not be as likely to see Price, whom throws with the same hand and has similar pitches. If that is the case I do not know who to recommend for long relief so lets hope the problem does not present itself. One idea might be to have Sonny finish up if the game is tight and Kaz is just PC maxed, then have Price step into Sonny’s spot as the #4 or alternatively have Shields pitch again.

SCOTT KAZMIR HAS A NO HITER THROUGH 0.0.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

have scott do that through 5

it’ll take him 120 pitches, but then we’ll have it completed by four innings of velociraptor jesus. combined no-hitter and a four-inning save for mr price. too much to hope for?

I’ll just be happy with a win, no matter how we get it, but why not reach for the stars?

I just wanted to get this in once

How did all the USF fans like the spanking you got from Professor Numbnuts

Losing to UTEP is probably a far worse crime, but then again I don’t hear anyone repping UCF as if they were the second coming. Good luck playing in the Meineke Car Care bowl

That Georgie Selvie is one hell of a player though. Homerism aside what round do you think he will be drafted? Would be nice if the Bucs could get him in the 3rd.

I thought as much just trying to be greedy

I watched the game against Kansas and he was throwing guys around like rag dolls on fire. Missed the game last night coming back from the Trop, but sounds like it was a good one.

If he was 30 pounds heavier

He’d be a top 5 pick. I doubt he’ll make it out of the second.

Well done on going back to the Maddon Bear, R.J.

It’s a good luck charm.

And seriously, I’ve always thought of it as the DRaysBay mascot.
