Man.
Delmon Young has lost a ton of weight. I didn’t even recognize him when he came to the plate. I hope he has a monster year.
I made a joke about a player on the Rays. I must not be a real fan! So hilarious. Don't ban me, bro.
But he's such a nice person and wonderful teammate.

He's just misunderstood.
That’s all.

James Shields
does not strike me as the type that would be particularly prone to “over-thinking” on the mound.
I find that odd.
Explain?
I’m confused

Wills and Freed were talking about
Garza and Shields last season, and that Hickey believes both of them struggled at various times last year with thinking too much while they were on the mound.

Wills and Freed just said there more cuts today.
They didn’t elaborate as to whom was cut. They went to commercial. I am sure we’ll find out when they get back from the break.

According to The Heater.
UPDATE, 12:41: The Rays made three more cuts today, reassigning to minor-league camp LHP R.J. Swindle, LHP Jason Cromer and C Craig Albernaz. The camp roster is now at 52.

"LHP R.J. Swindle"
Somewhere, the DRB R.J. sheds a tear.

The ball sounds like its hit very well when Shoppach makes contact
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
Hanley grounds into a DP.
Inning over. Nice job by Garza to erase the Bonifacio walk.

Acting like Statts
getting so excited after the ball is hit and then its caught

Well
you could actually stay excited this time.

sounds like Upton just CRUSHED that one
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
Yeah.
That sounded awesome off the bat.

"Fisted"
Thank God Dave Wills isn’t as bad as Chip Caray.
I think even Michael Kay isn’t as bad as Caray.
Argh, come on Garza
awesome he gets 5 innings though
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
Oh hey look, a starter isn't getting run support and gives a lead back after the team ties it in the previous half inning.
Who would’ve thunk it.

UPTON

I'm just trolling you.
Doesn’t matter either way. I’d rather have them hit in spring, but if they don’t I’m not concerned.

Perez with an error.
Drops an easy fly ball. Run scores. Bases still juiced. One out.

he has already recorded 4 outs and the inning isnt over
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
he put himself in jeopardy again
single, double hit batter
To his credit.
Balfour should have gotten out of this inning without giving up a run. Colina dropped an easy out, and Perez/Kapler couldn’t agree to catch an easy fly ball.

Three-run Double.
Ouch.

hey man leave him be, he doesnt talk about you behind your back!
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
Wait
so Stu hasn’t talked to Grant about “sternfan1” yet?
I thought Stu would’ve raved to everyone about him, by now.
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 13, 2010 3:14 PM EST up reply actions
yeah he looks just like him
oh you mean, stats wise
Fire and Ice: Rafael Soriano and J.P Howell.......with their side kick Grant the aussie Balfour!
doesn't overpower anyone anymore
doesn’t command the strike zone
very hitable
Sttrongs?
i see your Buckeyes are looking good
Lucky shoy eh?
This game isn't surprising to me
Yesterday that was more Michigan sucking hard on the defense. Turner had a great look and nailed it. They should win today if they stop messing around.
From Yer Scurvy Dog SRQman
Considering how good his '08 season was
it would be damned near impossible to see that version of Grant Balfour again.

Dan Wheeler is going to be quite useful versus Beltre and Cameron this year.
(Completely serious too. They struggle against non-fastball righties.)
Fans always ready to trade him, yet he's done nothing but be consistent for this team
ps—i think you’re correct but does Joe know thta?
I'd imagine so.
Maddon had him face righties like 2/3rds of the time last year. Lots of PA versus Lowell and Bay.
by R.J. Anderson on Mar 13, 2010 3:32 PM EST up reply actions
Yes.
And Wheeler takes a lot for being paid $3MM, but if you look at the major leaguers getting paid more than that, the list is insanely long. It’s a credit to the Rays that most of their relievers come cheaply, but his salary is not even close to being out of line.
To be fair, he's a 6th inning reliever. On a $70M payroll you ideally wouldn't have that salary.
But whatever, at least he’s not Brandon Lyon.
by R.J. Anderson on Mar 13, 2010 3:54 PM EST up reply actions
Well, he's a low-leverage reliever
Another way to look at it.
I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

Ohio State
this game today is EXACTLY like yesterday’s game. Buckeyes trailing 66-64, with the ball and under 30 ticks left.
Turnabow's command may help us come back
