An elbow strain
which by definition means he tore his UCL, but a very very small tear and doesn’t affect him. He and the Rays will need to be careful, but for the time being, he’s fine.

Dear Scotty,
Learn something, for once, from James Shields. He doesn’t have your fastball, doesn’t have your potential, but he’s got 1 devastating pitch and doesn’t walk people. He got a long-term deal, for doing that. Stop being a brat, please.
Sincerely,
Jake
Dear Jake,
No, he doesn’t BB people, i do from time to time. But he signed a deal that guaranteed him 14 million dollars. If he’s really good, he’ll make 40. I’m going to make about 20 million over the next 3 seasons and then I’m going to sign a deal for around 100 million dollars.
Maybe he should walk a few more people. It’s working out pretty well for me!
Sincerely,
Scott Kazmir

Garza – 6.1ip, 1 ER
Sonny – 6ip, 4 ER

It is an infield fly
Less than two outs and first and second occupied.
It was
And you don’t drop it because you can’t. You can’t miss the ball on purpose on an IF fly, they’d call the play dead.
Carlos Pena dominating the inning!

Ignore my response
it was wrong and incoherent.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!
Is that a rule? I know you said to ignore but I am curious. Actually arguing with a roommate about it right now.
I'm pretty sure
on a play where there is not an IF fly, you can’t drop a ball on purpose to turn a DP, but I’m not positive.
Say there’s a soft line drive to second, he knocks it down instead of catching it, the umpire can rule the play dead and the batter out I think. It’s a bush league play, so you don’t see it in the bigs.

You're correct on that...
I think that same situation came up in a Cubs game last month.
B Rad the Ray Fan
Yeah, that sounds right.
That’s one of the thing we were discussing. I know that if someone knocks one down then it can be called dead, batter out. I think the purpose of an infield fly is too prevent the umps from having to make a judgment call and just calling the batter out no matter what.
Like most of your points concerning Sonnanstine...

All about the defense.
It’s really tough to find a quantitative measure of how valuable the defense has been, but they’ve been simply amazing. Pena’s play, the Bartlett-Aki DP, and the speed in left and center definitely saved some runs.
