Uncharacteristic inning for Sonnanstine.. lot of balls

Good swings by everyone on Santana.
Even the outs were hit hard, minus Pena.

Rays started off the first with 3 straight hits.

1-2- 3 Inning from Sonny,
Aki and CC get on base, Beej RBI Single, CC and Beej SB, Longo Sac Fly, Floyd RBI single, Gross is the 3rd out,
Another 1-2-3 Inning from Sonny.

Sonny looks better this inning...
good AB’s in the first, put 3 up on a bunch of singles.
by davidsmarch on May 11, 2008 2:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
C-Pain struck out, longo sac-fly (of the line drive variety); then big red with a sweet line drive single

One of the most worrying things to me
is how few first pitch strikes Sonny is throwing. It’s very unlike him.
by Steve Slowinski on May 11, 2008 2:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
needed that
we have a 3 run jump on one of the best pitchers in the league, need to keep this locked down…

Anybody know the call sign of the Rays' radio station?
I want to listen to the game on mlb audio, but I can’t tell which acroynm is the Rays’ broadcast.

if gross didn’t exist, upton would have had it.

Sonny doesn't have it today.
It’s going to be a struggle.

LONGO TIME.
Yes I will do this every AB.
by P Brady on May 11, 2008 2:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
How is Sonny having that bad a day?
He gave up a walk on a close pitch, induced some grounders, and Vlad got lucky on a great pitch.
Sometimes hits fall in there and that’s what has happened.

He's going deep into hitters counts, when you're not a 'stuff' guy, you can't do that.
by P Brady on May 11, 2008 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
60 pitches in 3 innings is not typical Sonnanstine.
Yes, there have been some unlucky hits, but he usually doesn’t fall behind so many batters. Nor does he usually have two walks in 3 IP. Hopefully, he pulls it together quickly.
Longlorious.

I think he has been getting squeezed a little
But he has also been missing high. Not typical Sonny, but he hasn’t been getting hit hard either.

65 pitches through 3 for Santana
Liking that….

Time for Beej to step it up with CC on 3rd.

sonny looks like shit
time to pull him…

Ervin Santana threw 40 pitches in the first inning and he’s only at 80 now.

Nibbling on the corners won't work today.
This ump isn’t giving anything just off the corner.
Longlorious.
by RATW on May 11, 2008 3:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Which killed Sonny.
He can’t live in the heart of the zone and the ump wasn’t giving him anything else. Not making excuses, but that’s a factor.

Too bad Gross keeps hitting it right at people.

who do you trot out there for the 8th—JP?
by websterjtc on May 11, 2008 3:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i’d let howell pitch the 9th if he has an easy inning.
by websterjtc on May 11, 2008 4:07 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
as would I
but then again we will need him for the Yankee series. I do not envy Mad Dog.

Is there a reasonable chace Gross will work out for us?
by davelrogers on May 11, 2008 4:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yes, there always has been.
Some people just overreact to 25 at-bats.
