Posted June 25, 200420 yr :anon My irrational fear was we would not do well against the Braves, but thankfully I was proven to be wrong, but the Devil Rays scare me. They can bat and their bullpen isn't bad. Our team is better defensively and the starters are better, but our bats and bullpen are less reliable. I fear losing this series, can someone calm me down....*hyperventilates*
June 25, 200420 yr No way. We're better than the D-Rays. I'm sure we'll be fine. Just don't use the bullpen much.
June 25, 200420 yr But we are sending out AJ and Tejera? did you just put AJ in the same sentence as Tejera? :huh
June 25, 200420 yr Author But we are sending out AJ and Tejera? did you just put AJ in the same sentence as Tejera? :huh I mean they are on pitch counts because AJ is just coming back and Tejera is up form AAA.
June 25, 200420 yr But we are sending out AJ and Tejera? did you just put AJ in the same sentence as Tejera? :huh Neither will go more than 6 innings.
June 25, 200420 yr :mischief remember all tampabays pitchers suck well not the one facing aj but mostly all of there pitching sucks and plus aj is throwing as good as before lately
June 25, 200420 yr Hopefully this series can jump start our offense... though I've been saying that the last 2 series
June 25, 200420 yr But we are sending out AJ and Tejera? did you just put AJ in the same sentence as Tejera? :huh Neither will go more than 6 innings. Burnett pitched 7 very good innings his last outing....99 pitches altogether. It could happen again. Jack may give him a few more pitches to work with....perhaps 105.
June 25, 200420 yr Man, this month was supposed to be so easy but we've had problems. The Reds, The Mets, The Indians, The Tigers, The Rangers, The Rays... I want my sweeps, damn it.
June 25, 200420 yr DO should take the start josh is missing. there i said it nah hes doing real good in the bullpen, hate to mess up somthing thats doing real good
June 25, 200420 yr Author No month is ever, EVER easy. All wins must be earned and all loses dealt with.
June 25, 200420 yr Author The AJ will stop the losing streak What a long streak, 1 game lost. Terrible! :thumbdown
June 25, 200420 yr The Rays scare me because they are a team playing with confidence, something the Marlins aren't showing when they step up to the plate or run the bases. The Rays are due for a few losses though.
June 25, 200420 yr No way. We're better than the D-Rays. I'm sure we'll be fine. Just don't use the bullpen much. The reality is that we tend to do well against good teams and bad against the teams we should be walking away with wins. I hope that the Fish don't view the D-Rays as some lay down team we can walk all over. I don't care what anyone says- you don't win 12 in a row and suck as a team. They are (somehow) getting themselves together - last night another win! and they're not going to roll over and play dead for us.
June 25, 200420 yr No one is saying they will roll over and die for us. They're the Devil Rays though and look at the SP's their rolling out there....Brazleton got shelled his last outing and Mark Hendrickson hasnt won in forever. If we can't hit these guys then we should be ashamed.
June 25, 200420 yr They will do the best they can!! :thumbup We have great pitchers going all 3 days and our offense is starting to kick in!
June 25, 200420 yr I like our chances with Burnett and Pavano. Who knows about Tejera? If Burnett has his hook going, then the Rays will be in for a long night. Pavno's control has been so good, he will certainly keep the score low. It's too bad Beckett isn't pitching. The red hot Rays haven't faced a trio like Burnett, Beckett and Pavano...and certainly that would have cooled them off. As it is, we'll do well to take 2 of 3.
June 25, 200420 yr i hope some of you dont root too hard for your devil rays. Thanks for the advice...
June 25, 200420 yr We have great pitchers going all 3 days and our offense is starting to kick in! I thought Tejera pitched Saturday?
