Wow, I knew we improved, but Jesus.

I’m a little surprised to find out the pen is out pitching the rotation.

sort of

if you consider that pitchers get about a 1.00 run bump in their ERA by pitching out of the bullpen versus the rotation, the Rays’ rotation has better pitchers than the bullpen does. even with Jackson.

Yeah that 0.75 HR/9 rate is killer.

Overreact much?

He’s given up 2 in his last three appearances. He’s also given up 2 in his last 30.

He looks like dumbo

Him and the Cuban Missile (or is it rocket?) are two players I would never want on my team. Just because I don’t like having to laugh at the players I’m supposed to root for.
