At least we're not starting Richards tomorrow. "Silver" lining.

Silver f***s.

Let’s go Blue Birds. I’m at work but there in spirit.

Let’s go bench!!!

September 15th. Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - Chapman - 2 Points - Stangstag Biggio - 4 Points - Omar Bradley - 5 Points - Espinal - 6 Points - Dylan Merrifield - 6 Points - Moreno - 8 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points-

I would go with Stripling right now but if Berrios is good in his last three starts to end the season I think he will get the ball.

Red Sox lose to the Yankees again. Get swept.

True that, but they aren't going to roll over for a team that they could potentially meet in the playoffs.

The Rays have a pretty tough schedule remaining. They have to play Houston six more times plus another series with the Jays and also Cleveland. Hopefully more seperation between us and them by seasons end.

Biggest series win of the season so far....

Zimmer sure can cover the real estate.

Used more than a few times for Vladdy and Semien last season.

Bichette right now...

How many innings would that be for?

Last couple weeks he's gotten kind of lucky. Men LOB, bailed out by Mayza, Garcia, etc.

Can we tender Stripling a contract extension. Post-haste.

Ump:mad:

That swing by Bo looked like Wade Boggs stroking a single.

Gidpy almost struck again.

Can we get Springer to the post season in one piece please.

Nothing wrong with that launch angle.

The Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays clash in the third game of a crucial five-game set at the Rogers Centre. The Rays are expected to start right-hander Drew Rasmussen while the Blue Jays counter with Ross Stripling. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:07 PM ET. Toronto opens as a slight home favorite. Rasmussen Starts for Tampa The Rays will turn to right-hander Drew Rasmussen for the third game of this critical showdown with the Blue Jays. He delivered a stellar performance in last Friday's win over the Yankees, racking up 10 strikeouts over six shutout innings in an impressive game. The right-hander gave up six hits on the night -- all of them singles -- and did not walk a batter. According to baseballsavant.com, he gathered a staggering 22 swinging strikes on 94 pitches in the ballgame -- 15 of those on his cutter -- while posting a CSW of 32 percent. This is a critical series with the Jays, and he needs his best stuff once again. He brings a solid 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP with a dynamite 113/27 K/BB ratio into this game. Tampa is in a dogfight for the American League wild card with the Blue Jays, but the Orioles beginning to fade (5.5 games back) so it looks like both clubs will be able to make it in barring a huge meltdown. They have suffered some serious injuries this year to some of their best arms, including Shane Baz, but they have remained afloat. Jays Rolling With Stripling Ross Stripling will get the start for Toronto in the third game of this series. He held the Rangers to two runs in six innings in a no-decision Friday in his last appearance. Stripling left with a one-run lead, but it was lost in the eighth inning before the Blue Jays went on to win the game 4-3. It still goes as Stripling's fifth straight quality start since he came off the injured list last month and he has been an excellent piece of the Jays' rotation this season. He comes into this start with a 3.03 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 113/27 K/BB ratio over 122+ innings.
