Rays Lose to Pirates 6-5
Not much to report from this game, as it wasn't even on the radio:
- The majority of Rays' pitchers had good outings yesterday, with Jeff Niemann, Kyle Farnsworth, Joel Peralta, Dane De La Rosa, Cory Wade, and Alex Cobb all pitching scoreless innings while striking out a batter. The damage came in the fourth inning when Mike Ekstrom was in the game; he managed to allow 4 hits, one walk, one homerun, and 5 runs (4 earned) while only getting two outs. Luckily for him, Maddon's on record saying to Marc Topkin that he's withholding judgement on his bullpen options until everyone has at least 1-2 appearances. Still, that's not a good start for someone competing for one of the few open bullpen spots.
- Oh, and Jake McGee did decent in his outing, pitching one inning while letting up two hits and an unearned run.
- On the offensive side, the main performers were Brignac, Zobrist, and Manny. Briggy and Zobrist both went 2-2 with a double (with Brignac's double apparently banged off the left field wall), while Manny had two hard-struck singles and scored from third-base on a wild pitch.
Today the Rays are playing the Orioles, and Andy Sonnanstine is getting the start. Hayhurst, Archer, Bush, Cabral, and Delaney are also all scheduled to pitch.

Not serious about SBNTB is where he's been
The caller said the boy, after removing the bulb from its socket, left the building and threw the bulb on the ground. When the bulb broke, the caller said the boy screamed "Bigger does not equal more firepower."

Love to hear about Manny scoring from 3rd on a passed ball in a Spring Training game
There's two types of people in this world, me, and the rest of ya
Follow me: @SandyKazmir, read me @ Dock of the Rays, feel me whenever you want.
I hope Mike does better in his next outing
I thought he was a decent relief pitcher. Step it up Mike.
