5/19 GDT: Oakland Athletics @ Tampa Bay Rays

Oakland Athletics at Tampa Bay Rays, May 19, 2009 7:08 PM EDT


The stat widgets aren't working, but your match-up is James Shields and Josh Outman. Funnest fact: the A's bullpen has thrown 45% of their total innings. By comparison, the Rays' pen has thrown 34% of their total innings.

Other then it doesn’t. I joke about it because it matters so much to many others.

Hello Rays fans

I am RockiesMagicNumber, columnist on Purple Row.

I simply came to say that this:

Is my doing.

I’m enjoying watching Hammel pitch. The advanced metrics aren’t very hot on him, but I think he’s a really fun project pitcher to watch work with our staff, and I’m hoping he can be the next Taylor Buchholz.

Good luck against the A’s, I’ll be watching Mr. Hammel himself take on the Braves.

Could this

Be the game, if OAK gets tagged for enough runs, that their pitching could breakdown(even more) because of the amount of work their bullpen has done over the last 4 games?

The story goes: A few guys were on a business trip in Pittsburgh. A couple of the guys knew the Phils were in town, so when they all spotted Burrell at a club there one night, it wasn’t a total surprise. Pat ended up taking a liking to one of the girls in their group. She thought he was hot but didn’t follow baseball. He took her back to his hotel room, and a make-out session ensued until she alerted Pat that she would NOT do him. Not fazed by this, Burrell seemed to respect her chastity, and rather than force himself on her or fly into a blueball rage, he asked a simple question, glancing down at his engorged pants: “Mind if I take care of business?”

I’ll joke about it all day, and so can everyone else because it was hillarious, but a serious dicussion about the last time I was laid, or the context of the statement, is completely unnecessary. —KeRiCr

Hello, Hitters,

The fist quarter of the season is fast approaching. Spend some time reflecting and working on your problem areas. If not re-assignments for further reflection may be in order.

We have faith in you but the season is now very very close at hand. We need to start approaching our potential. As you know we have Reid Brignac on assignment and he seems to be responding. I care about each and everyone of you very much but as you know we are in a performance based profession.

As you may or may not know I am working without a long term contract. If I don’t perform then I to am subject to this same performance based criteria. Having said that, I owe it to my family, to the team, to management and the fans and community of Tampa Bay to field the very best team possible on the field.

So it has come down to this: If you don’t start performing better on your starts, on your relief’s and on your closing abilities then I can assure you changes will be made. Re-assignments will be made. Now I re-assure you that I do have faith in you but it has come to the point where we have to see real improvement.
