PrintTampa Bay Rays at Pittsburgh Pirates, Jun 28, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
You know who's open to the whole changing positions/lineup slots for the good of the team thing? B.J. Upton. He's batting leadoff tonight and Marc Lancaster provided this quote from Upton:
Joe Maddon approached Upton last night about moving up to the top of the order and “it was a pretty quick answer for me,” said the center fielder.
But he's not a team leader or anything like that, nope.

Best players need to get the most ABs
So Upton/Longoria being in the top 3 is great.

I agree with most RJ...
But that was as productive an out as you can get…
Just for fun...
The run expectancy says that the Rays were in a worst position after the out than they were before. But of course that would be true.
Runners on 2,3 and 0 outs gives a run expectancy of 2.03
Runner on 3 and 1 out gives an expectancy of .97
So basically Longo changed the run expectancy by only .06 runs (considering the run scored). with his out. That has to be the smallest dropoff after an out possible.

He did it so that we would
have the bottom of the order starting next inning, it is subterfuge, very canny, hit them where they aren’t looking.

The pitcher never gave him a look, got a good jump just a little to slow (maybe a slow track)
First and third
for Edwin Jackson =.=

yeah we saw it coming, hard hit balls the last couple innings.
sometimes i wonder why we don’t turn it over to the pen at the first sign of trouble, and not wait til it’s too late.
What's up with...
the whole Pitrates/Crawford uniform tonight. With the standard Pirate helmets it kinda ruins the whole “throw back” thing
LONGORIA has to be the BEST LAST NAME EVER!
Obviously this is hindsight
But why did Cliff Floyd not pinch hit for Jackson with 2 men on? That seemed like a terrible move by maddon
it's okay we can get the run back..
