Dukes update

Dukes (hamstring) has been threatened by a Florida court with jail time if he fails to pay legal fees for his estranged wife, the Tampa Tribune reports.
Spin:
Dukes has until June 5 to pay approximately $40,000, or else he could face up to 90 days in jail. There’s no reason to indicate he won’t make the payment, and if he does he could return from the disabled list sometime in early June.

Hm.
The Tampa Bay Ray have made the following roster move affecting Double-A Montgomery prior to their game tonight against the Carolina Mudcats:
 
RHP Chris Mason promoted to Durham (AAA) [22 + 2]
 
The move leaves the Biscuits two players shy of the Southern League maximum of 24 active players. Two players are currently on the disabled list (Jeremy Hellickson, Jason Perry).

Bad calls are obviously never the pitchers fault

I said it is more of his own doing because sometimes your reputation preceeds you. After having thrown 100 pitches in 4 innings last outing. And facing a notoriously tight ump. This is kind of to be expected. That’s all. Not saying I agree with it, Just looking at it objectively. Guy needs to attack the zone better in two strike counts.
