All in all a split with the Yankees is not so bad right now. The Rays aren’t necessarily fielding their star players. You could even be pretty stoked about them beating CC Sabathia.
I can’t lie though, I am on edge watching the later part of these games. The bullpen is severely lowering the comfort level. I have no confidence in them what so ever, and I really don’t want to be that fan again.
What is the plan going forward? Do they need to see the team shrink? Do the Rays seek replacements? Do they just keep going to these guys even if they can’t get the job done? I mean the Rays are fielding their B team and they are getting the job done, until the bullpen comes in and blows it. Saturday the offense had to beat Mo Rivera in order for the Rays to get the win!
A good friend of mine thinks they should be fired. For him it’s simple, they are getting paid to do a job and they are flat out not getting it done. Give them a couple of chances and then find someone else. Why not? Sometimes, like this weekend, it is easy to get on board that train of thought.
One thing is for sure. If the Rays want to compete in this division the bullpen needs to step up their game. Stop the sucking!
I hope tonights game is a little more comfortable to watch. I know, don’t hold my breath Sonny’s pitching, and the relief corps will be deployed.
Please for my sanity let Longo play! Go Rays!
