Swept Away; Rays Lose Game/Series to Red Sox 11-3
by Erik Hahmann on May 27, 2010 12:13 AM EDT
Email
PrintWe know the amazing start couldn't be sustained for the whole season. The starting pitching and the team's average with runners in scoring position were too good to not eventually take a spoon full of regression. It's just that no one thought they would both happen at the same time.
The Rays lost again Wednesday night, falling 11-3 at the hands of their AL East rivals. The three game sweep at the hands' of the Red Sox was the first suffered by the team this season.
Unlike Tuesday's game, which featured a strike zone the size of Kevin Mench's head, the Rays had no excuses this time around. They did it to themselves, leaving what seemed like a trillion men in scoring position and pitching exceptionally poorly. Although Matt Garza had a bad outing, when you have men on base in all but two innings you need to score more than 3 runs.
Speaking of Garza, The Crane just wasn't himself tonight. The only pitch he threw for a strike more than 60% of the time was his four-seam fastball, and that came in at 60.27%. His most effective pitch on the season has been his slider, which has the highest strike% (66.7%) and highest whiff% (22.6%) of any of his offerings. Tonight Garza threw the pitch 19 times for 10 strikes (52.63%), 2 swinging (10.53%). Not close to his season averages. Garza's control did not accompany him to the ballpark tonight, as he walked five batters in his five innings of work. He missed both high and low, and inside and outside. Checking out his strikezone plot, it looks like Garza's plan was to keep the ball inside to right handers and away from lefties. Had he hit his spots that plan may have worked out a wee bit better.
There isn't much else to say about this game or series. The Red Sox are a very good team, and to expect the Rays to dominate them over a full season is unrealistic. Though, granted, you'd like to see the team put up more than four runs over three games. There's no reason to panic. As odd as it may sound, I'm kind of glad the Rays are hitting a bit of a rough patch right now. I'd rather see the team go through these struggles now instead of later in the season when it would hurt far more. The stellar start to the season provided the Rays with a cushion that comes in handy when series like this occur.
Now, having said that (shout out to the 3 people who get that reference), if the team gets swept at home by the White Sox my calm demeanor may take a different form.

They really need to win at least 2, preferably 3, hopefully 4
I think a 1-6 homestand might have an effect on your calm demeanor too

For this series, is it possible to give this team a grade lower than F?

2-25 RISP I think that sums up the series for the team.
Also the fact that Longoria did zilch in his important ABs is what really started the funk. Also the lack of jumping on early & piling on completely left this team. They did it in NY, not here.

“As odd as it may sound, I’m kind of glad the Rays are hitting a bit of a rough patch right now.”
The RSox came into the series 8.5 games back. They cut it to 5.5. If the sweep had gone the other way, they’d have been 11.5 back and any hope of winning the division would’ve been all but gone. But I’d have settled for 1-2, so the RSox would gain but a single game and leave town 7.5 back. You can’t get swept by a division opponent, you just can’t (that big 2 game swing between 0-3 and 1-2).
by Can'tMissMissed on May 27, 2010 4:01 AM EDT reply actions
Yeah, I mean it's still early, but 5.5 is a week straight worth of games, never mind the fact that the Yankees are still in the way.

Thanks. Could we have put Boston away in this series? Maybe not.
But the idea that losses, specifically series sweeps, in late May don’t matter – I disagree with that. True, it is a long season. IMO, that makes it all the more important that the Rays not get swept at home by a division rival.
We were cold, they were hot. Maybe we’ll get ’em next time. Then again, maybe not. Like TGN1 pointed out, they have the luxury of going out and buying players if they need to.
I don't think anyone is saying that it doesn't matter. An 11.5 game cushion would be nice.
Most of us are just saying that it’s not the end of the season. We aren’t doomed, and we still have a good chance of winning the division.

The implication is that it doesn't matter.
I didn’t say it was the end of the season. Nor did I imply that we are doomed. I am, however, pissed that we let an opportunity slip away.
Obviously we have a chance to win the division. And I do think the battle of attrition leans in our favor b/c of this team’s youth.
I don't get where you see anyone implying that it doesn't matter.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
Except those should be directed at the Red Sox and should have been included in the game summary.
Of course they matter.
But this is baseball. Sometimes you sweep (in Fenway, in NYS), sometimes you get swept (like this week).
It wasn’t the end of the world for Boston when we whipped their asses 4 games in a row, and this isn’t the end for us.

Yeah I 'm not sure people figured out the Rays were like 5 games up on the rest of the league.
Still, that was a frustrating sweep. Nothing like getting your heads caved in by a team that isn’t better to wake you up a bit. Hell, if the Sox swept this series and the Rays actually put up a fight a couple of games, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but the offense just laid down and got rolled.
I just hope they get the offensive slump worked out against the White Sox.

That inning where Crawford lead off with that ground rule double could have changed the game.
Unfortunately no one felt like driving him in. 3 outs and he only manged to get moved up to third.
If only that ball hadn’t gone over the wall.
Here is the Rays problem
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AkHE7uC77vkgnHMFWKq.e3URvLYF?slug=ti-bluejayshomeruns052610
"I think on-base percentage is an overrated stat," Murphy said flatly. "Those guys getting on base, most of them aren’t getting them in. Give me somebody who drives them in after that. I need guys who can drive the ball."
They are focusing way too much on getting on base and not enough on home runs
Last year when the Rays only score on the longball, there was scoring inconsistency
People said the Rays needed to stop trying to hit every pitch out of the park. There’s always going to be tough stretches in baseball. Lo and behold the Jays have scored 3 or less 19 times compared to the Rays 16 despite out-longballing the Rays 79-42

The RISP problem really sits on Upton and Pena
They have hit 5th and 6th most of this month and their wOBA in May is worse than the likes of
-Lou Marson
-Tommy Manzella
-Julio Borbon
Those guys are all 8th or 9th place hitters; when you’re 5 and 6 hitters are hitting like 8 and 9 hitters, you aren’t going to drive a lot of guys in.
Face it, if Pence holds onto that Navarro flair in RF, the Rays would be 1-5 in their last 6 games. The Red Sox had to win this series – coming out of it 10.5 or 11.5 games back would have been a death sentence. To use an old cliche, “they wanted it more”

Yep
But the offense really looked flat for a lot of that Houston series too. Friday night was bad, and Saturday was bad take away that luck. Sunday was looking poor until Mills decided to leave Norris in there too long. There is a lot of feast or famine of late with a big game sandwiching a lot of poor ones. There is too much talent on this roster to have the worst wOBA in the AL East right now (percentage points behind the Orioles).

I don’t wanna hate on BJ and I understand the value he brings with the mitt but it’s getting hard to defend him all the time.

You don't have to defend him, just realize he's in a protracted slump. He should figure it out, but even if he doesn't hes netting positive WAR based on his glove alone.
He’s also far from the only problem on the roster right now.

If it was just BJ it would be fine.
The fact is Pena, Navi, Aybar, Srod, and Kapler have all been awful.
There is no lineup Joe can put out there without a bunch of huge wholes in it

Aybar hasn't been awful, and replacing SRod with Deezy potentially fills 2 holes. The S-Rod hole and the CF hole.
And Kapler hasn’t been awful, I don’t know why people keep thinking this.

You're assuming a guy with less than 60 games above AA is a superior hitter.
He’s also OPSing below .700 so far this year in AAA.

He can't be worse then Upton is right now. There's no way. I did use potential, not proven.
Jesus Didn't Tap.
Fair point. But I don't think the solution to the Upton problem is "wait him out" anymore either.
This team needs to be doing something in way of lining up some offensive production out of center field. Now if BJ goes ahead and fixes the problem himself by getting straightened out, then that’s fantastic. But Deezy isn’t the answer, then there isn’t a plan B for Upton at this point. The team needs to find one.
Jesus Didn't Tap.
Kapler has a .650 OPS vs LHP
Is this not awful for a guy who is only here to hit lefties?

If the application she's filling out says something along the lines of "by filling this out you give concent to contact employers, etc" then they are free to do it.
That said, nobody does it without a pending offer first. So I’d tell her not to worry about it. Or, just put “Confidential” for her current company. She can give that info up later.

Ok the Red Sox series is behind us, can't do much about it
I’m very curious to see how the Rays play against the White Sox, another team coming in here playing well below their expectations
Rays need to win 3/4 and even that leaves a losing homestand
On the upside, no Burhle
Are you saying he should become fashionable or elitist or snarky or condescending? Is he supposed to adopt logical fallacies as his core technique of debate? Is he supposed to bleat religious proclamations and claim they are "proved" by statistics when they aren’t?

As constructed the White Sox aren't a good team at all. I have a feeling that we can take this series

Decent BP arms and Danks is good, yet the Indians had him throw 112 PC after 5 IP
The 07 Phillies were the first team that came to mind
