Game 15 - Rays vs. Twins

By Jessica | April 17, 2008

It’s April 17th and I’m already crabby with this team!  The Rays lost another close one last night (5-6)to make it three in a row.  Ugh.  They have so much potential and we’ve seen glimpses of it, but they haven’t really put it together.  I just want to see them shine, for more than one inning.

Oh and someone please tell me why they haven’t passed a law that all sporting events must be on ESPN.  I was a bad fan last night.  ION was coming in terrible and the Twins dome has absolutely no atmosphere, so I caught myself switching to ESPN, and every time staying a little longer because it was so much more visually appealing.  It was like the Rays were playing arena baseball.  I mean this place makes the Trop look awesome.

Why is BJ Upton still stealing bases?? And isn’t Maddon aware that Mauer is a pretty good catcher?

Bartlett had a very untimely error.  Funny thing though, Lugo had one just as bad against New York.

Shields pitched okay.  That seems to be a theme lately with Rays pitchers.  The offense doesn’t seem to be living up to its expectations.  I know there were homeruns tonight and that’s great, but the heart of the Rays order should be dominant.  I am waiting for them to start stringing hits together and sending pitchers to the bench.  Too much to ask for?

I don’t like being negative this early in the season, but the Rays had a chance to make up some ground last night.  I hope I see something positive tonight.  Go Rays.
