Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays

07/30/08 12:37 PM EDT

Tampa Bay Rays	Toronto Blue Jays
Akinori Iwamura - 2B	Joe Inglett - 2B
B.J. Upton - CF	Marco Scutaro - 3B
Carl Crawford - LF	Alex Rios - CF
Evan Longoria - 3B	Lyle Overbay - 1B
Carlos Pena - 1B	Matt Stairs - DH
Eric Hinske - DH	Adam Lind - LF
Dioner Navarro - C	Brad Wilkerson - RF
Gabe Gross - RF	Gregg Zaun - C
Jason Bartlett - SS	John McDonald - SS

A couple of changes in the batting order today, Rolen is sitting (why not, hasn't been hitting at all) Scoot's at third. Zaun's in and Mac's in. MacDonald has been our most powerful bat of late. Pretty sad isn't in. Lind has moved up to 6th in the order, but then to balance that out, Wilk has moved up to 7th. Scott Richmond comes out of literally no where to pitch for us, I have no idea what to expect from him. And pisses me off that the game isn't on TV.

Jackson has been pretty good for the Rays this month but his one loss in July was against us, on July 20th, he went 4.1 and gave up 8 hits and 6 earned. Let's do it again.

sorry, they're shopping Zaun...

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 1:15 PM EDT reply actions

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 1:21 PM EDT up reply actions

No TV

I thought it might be one of the weird Rogers digital channels, but no dice.

I can probably get the Fan, but I’m just watching on gameday

I’d love to get 2-3 more innings out of him

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 1:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Bartlett pops out....gave up two runs....could of been much worse

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 1:43 PM EDT reply actions

Lind triples

good start, and little-to-no chance for a GIDP

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 1:47 PM EDT reply actions

though with Wilk up, you never know

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 1:48 PM EDT up reply actions

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:00 PM EDT reply actions

98 pitches

think he’ll be out for the 6th?

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:01 PM EDT up reply actions

game day says 88....or is it behind.....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions

I think he'll start the next one

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh, I thought that was from the last inning

so I added the 10 pitches from the 5th to get 98. If he’s at 88 I think he’ll definitely come out again

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Inglett singles

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:03 PM EDT reply actions

Iwanmura makes an error on Scoots double play ball....does he know we are trying to set a record

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:06 PM EDT reply actions

Wild pitch

2nd and 3rd, no out

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:07 PM EDT reply actions

Jackson throws a wild pitch to give us runners on 2 and third....should ahve a RISP count

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:07 PM EDT reply actions

and as is expected

Rios grounds out to pitcher, no runs in

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:08 PM EDT reply actions

Rios grounds out and doesn't score anyone....this is sad

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:08 PM EDT reply actions

FRIGGG overbay strikes out.....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:11 PM EDT reply actions

yay stairs is up just in case we still hope we could score.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:11 PM EDT reply actions

Stairs walks on four pitches......why would you do that? Lind is up next

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:13 PM EDT reply actions

Stairs walks

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:14 PM EDT reply actions

Lind flies out.....this is depressing....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:14 PM EDT reply actions

Lind flies out

runner on third with no outs in consecutive innings and NO RUNS??

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:15 PM EDT reply actions

So I have us at 0 for 8 with RISP and not just 0 for 8 but twice couldn't bring home a runner from third with no one out

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:16 PM EDT reply actions

richmond strides out Longoria to start the 6th but Cito brings in CY

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:18 PM EDT reply actions

Nice start for Richmond

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:19 PM EDT reply actions

I would think it would buy him another start

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:20 PM EDT reply actions

I think so too

even if he wasn’t very good, who else do we have?

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Mench grounds out hitting for wilk....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:28 PM EDT reply actions

Scoot strikes out

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:35 PM EDT reply actions

Scoot strikes out....that 0 for 9 and I think we have a choice for suckage Jay....though there will be a few

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:35 PM EDT reply actions

entire team?

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions

and lind....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions

ya, I was going to say entire team (except Lind)

but he did end the last inning with the tying run on third

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions

Richmond wasn't that bad either....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions

cy gets the first two of the 7th.....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:39 PM EDT reply actions

Cy goes 1,2,3.....gets us 5 outs...

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:41 PM EDT reply actions

Balfour is in for the Rays

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:42 PM EDT reply actions

Rios Flies out.....you know, I was very optimistic for a couple of days there...then they started to play like the Jays again

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:45 PM EDT reply actions

And Overbay strikes out

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:47 PM EDT reply actions

Stairs strikes out.....oh well....6 more outs and we have another well earned loss

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:50 PM EDT reply actions

Downs is coming in to pitch......

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:51 PM EDT reply actions

Iwamura hits a double....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:53 PM EDT reply actions

Upton sacrifices Iwamura to third...

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:54 PM EDT reply actions

Crawfort strikes out.....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:56 PM EDT reply actions

Jays intentionally walk Longoria....first and third for Pena

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 2:58 PM EDT reply actions

pena strikes out....so we have 6 outs to score a run

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:01 PM EDT reply actions

We had six outs to score a run a few innings ago and couldn't do it

and those times, we had runners on third

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 3:03 PM EDT reply actions

oh that was just practice....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions

Lind grounds out so it's over....if we were going to score it had to be lind

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:07 PM EDT reply actions

too true

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Mench strikes out......

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:09 PM EDT reply actions

Zaun walks....generally this would mean a pinch runner....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:12 PM EDT reply actions

but not this time and no pinch hitter for Mac....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:13 PM EDT reply actions

Mac pops out. So three outs left.....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:14 PM EDT reply actions

with the top of the order coming up

on a decent team, that would indicate at least a fair chance of scoring a run. With the Jays, I’m not so sure

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 3:15 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah....I'd be a little hopefull if Inglett was in a spot where he could drive in the tieing run

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions

BJ in......

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:15 PM EDT reply actions

Aybar singles...pinch hitting for hinske

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:18 PM EDT reply actions

Navarro grounds out aybar to second....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:19 PM EDT reply actions

BJ got two more ground outs to get out of the inning....so we badly need runs

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:22 PM EDT reply actions

Percival is in for the save....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:23 PM EDT reply actions

ERA isn't great but he has made 20 out of 22 save opurtunities

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:24 PM EDT reply actions

Inglett grounds out.....my little hope was that he'd hit one out.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:27 PM EDT reply actions

Scoot flies out to center...up to rios....and that's not exactly good news....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:29 PM EDT reply actions

full count

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:31 PM EDT reply actions

Ball game

Rios pops out and that’s that

by SuckaMD on Jul 30, 2008 3:32 PM EDT reply actions

And Rios pops out.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:32 PM EDT reply actions

And that was awful....

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:32 PM EDT reply actions

So Jay of the Day really no one but giving it to Cy for 5 straight outs.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 30, 2008 3:33 PM EDT reply actions

Suckage Jay....Scoot (-.158) Mac (-.127)
