Recap: That Sucked

Mos-def-the-ecstatic_tiny by R.J. Anderson on Comment 171 comments

A gas leak can only hide for so long and tonight the Rays' version blew up. No, not Edwin Jackson, but Eric Hinske in left field. Two instances come to mind; the ball he dove on and missed, then fumbled upon reaching it and the one he played off of the wall despite B.J. Upton being in a better position to A) field it and B) throw it. I'm not going to say that he cost us the game, because overall this was a putrid effort.

Edwin only drew two swinging strikes tonight, a slider against Alex Rodriguez early on and a fastball on Derek Jeter. Edwin threw 46 strikes tonight out of 70 pitches, and 52 of those were fastballs. The rest were mainly sliders with a few changes mixed in.  He only walked one and struck two out. It's hard to pin the hits on him, and really I thought it was one of his better starts, but alas the results weren't pretty tonight, even if the processes weren't awful.

On the somewhat bright side we saw the first instant replay review in the history of the league. It didn't go our way yet that's still history and history is something we should cherish, I think.

I find it ironic that they got the first replay ever wrong.

What type of question is this?

Do you really feel anyone is going to go against Kazmir?

i miss cc and longo :(

but its looks like longo might be back this weekend, thank god! since im getting sick of watching lazy ass aybar crawl up the line and not get into trouble for it, if bj even came close to that they would probably bench him for 2 games

Here's the difference

Red Sox go into yankee Stadium and take 2/3

Yanks come to our house and it ain’t even close

we just won 5 games in a row, so i expected to loss some games in this series

also this is the first series that the rays have lost since the allstar break so shut up, we cant win every game

as long as they are 5 shutout innings, who cares?

would you yell at carmen electra because she only gave you a 2 minute lap dance? ok, maybe you would, but still

by daveh33 on Sep 3, 2008 11:23 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

2 minutes with her is enough for me lol

rasner sucks so i think that we will beat him, i think kaz will last 6 innings tomorrow

I thought a bigger Hinske play

was the hit Abreu stretched into a double. The following grounder by Arod is likely a DP.

Anyways, what’s the word on Longoria?

2 losses where a few bad breaks didnt go our way

and all of a sudden it’s the heater in here. Trolls I get I mean look at you you’re fabulous, but supposed real fans saying dumb shit is just that.

the bullpen thing is important, but it's probably on the order of 3 games for the Rays

i believe the Rays are outperforming Pag by more like 7 games total.

this team is about as talented as the Red Sox, give or take a couple games.

by RaysOfHope on Sep 3, 2008 11:39 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Late here, but

3 of 5. And last possible day of playoffs is Sept. 13.

No justice if they win – worst record of all AAA playoff teams by far. But some good pitchers.

by nyyfaninlaaland on Sep 4, 2008 12:11 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes.

The lineup is void of anyone worth noting minus Nowak (and I guess Guzman) but the rotation and pen is solid.

by R.J. Anderson on Sep 4, 2008 12:13 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

ya our AAA rotation is probably better than some ML rotations

price,davis, niemann is pretty damn good, i hope to see those 3 real soon, but i bet we wont see davis until next year, anyone think davis will get called up after the AAA playoffs?

LOUD NOISES!!!!

Hinske needs a foot up his ass and Bartlett needs to remember how to field. He’s been off his game since he got beaned on Sunday.

Other than that? Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. Start all over again.

Not to change the subject

but the Yanks swept the Sox today.

Unfortunately for you guys, it was in each game 1 of the AAA and AA playoffs.

You have no idea how gratifying it is to realize

The closest the Yankees will get to the playoffs is AA and AAA.

and we also wont have to face cleveland or ny in the playoffs lol

Thank you kind sir

I’m not a quitter either – but Pavano, Ponson, and Rasner definitely give me pause.

‘07 Mets up 7 with 17 left. So it’s doable, if not realistic. But fandom isn’t supposed to be about realism.

our pitching is much better than theirs last year

also getting back longo possibly this weekend and getting the second round of callups will help us out alot

you seem really sure of that.

did we not just have our best month without longo?

by plasticman on Sep 4, 2008 12:47 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

ru related to sternfan?

ya we had our best month without longo, but getting him back will make us even better and our bullpen is amazing and adding price and niemann and possibly wade davis to it will make it even deeper and better

look

I’m just trying to be realistic. Also we have no idea how those young guys are going to do in the majors, or how our team as a whole is going to do in sept . I’m just sayin! Not bashing, but not being optimistic without reason.

by plasticman on Sep 4, 2008 12:55 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

im just really anxious to see longo back and price on this team

aybar has been playing like shit lately, and is slower than manny when he was dogging it for boston and if price is better than miller and hammel ill be happy.

Had to be much lower. Simple math.

But what’s much lower than 1.1%

That playoff chance % thing is a bunch of crap as well. Yanks run off 8 straight, the number will go up. Meaningless construct – like Pythagorean records.

by nyyfaninlaaland on Sep 4, 2008 12:49 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i hope that that is the closest that they get for a long time

also anyone think that the yankees are makeing a mistake by putting joba in the pen next year? i sure hope so

Again, it's what they have to do for safety concerns.

He’s pitched 90 innings this year, went 110 last. They don’t want to blow him up to 200, so he’ll have to scale his innings up.

Plus they’ve been so close to the vest this year with plan pronouncements. If they can make up some ground in the next week (if Boston ever stops playing the Baltimore chokes), I wouldn’t be shocked if they tried ramping up Joba’s innings to get him back for 2-3 starts to close the season. Only if he seemed fine physically of course.

Worst case, if we don’t catch anyone, I hope we can take the Sox down with us in Boston when we close the season up there.

by nyyfaninlaaland on Sep 4, 2008 12:46 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

the cutoff is usually a jump of 30 innings a year that you can push them to

in order to do that i could see the yankees having him in the pen for the first 2 months of the season and then bump him to the rotation in june when they are in 4th place

Longo=ROY. Friedman=Executive of the year. Maddon=Manager of the year. Gabe Gross= clutch.

by RaysOfHope on Sep 4, 2008 1:15 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i think it's a mistake

i’d rather him use spring training to work up to starting strength. then shove him in the bullpen later in the year if he’s going to approach 200IP. going for 100 to 150 isn’t what worries me. it’s going from 150 to 200 that’s killer.

Twins fans are generally classy individuals

I could say the same for Cards, Royals, and Pirates fans. This is completely arbitrary and related to personal experiences I have had.

not first replay

“the first instant replay review in the history of the league”

not correct

replay was used in 1999 during a Marlins game. Ironically it was a Cliff Floyd home run that was reversed.

Even though I can see a few more getting some innings in. Like dancing with a lady friend for one dance while your date is in the ladys room or talking to her friends.

by Underdogs on Sep 4, 2008 9:31 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed that we won't see all of them

I think Talbot and Niemann or Price. They’ll steal some innings from Hammel (thank God), and if they perform well enough, maybe give JP or Wheeler a few innings off. This could be big down the stretch. Also, one will probably get the spot-start versus the zerO’s.
