Didn't like what renovations did to my seats, though. And ended up not liking location I moved to. Will have to try a new place next year.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-32828108015326626312014-09-13T22:19:06.777-04:002014-09-13T22:19:06.777-04:00Well you can only hide the league's worst BA f...Well you can only hide the league's worst BA for so long.

But their guy has no AAA experience at all. Could be a mess on both sides.

Even in a "good" scenario for us, we're looking at:<br />Kelly for 5<br />Bryce Stowell for 6 & 7<br />CJ for 8<br />Leuke for 9<br /><br />But the apparent lack of confidence in Stowell thus far (he's been up throwing a few times, but we rather let a tired Thompson pitch the 13th) means there's probably more to the story than even that. Maybe he's limited to 1?<br /><br />I realize it's game 5, so maybe Liberatore can pitch an inning and maybe the Rays could authorize Colome inning, but I'm not hopeful in either.Chris Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-46918961118953206102014-09-13T11:20:35.561-04:002014-09-13T11:20:35.561-04:00Mine too.

What if Karns had started for the Bulls instead of the Rays last night?Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-47045161245708654472014-09-13T11:19:14.264-04:002014-09-13T11:19:14.264-04:00One of the links mentions that very thing re Mahto...One of the links mentions that very thing re Mahtook.

I hope that isn't the case here, but it wouldn't surprise me if the PawSox are the much sharper team tonight...DRRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-76823089786243021662014-09-13T09:35:30.585-04:002014-09-13T09:35:30.585-04:00Tough game last night.

He got caught celebrating (and almost doubled), but easily could have been in scoring position. Moore singled in the next at bat...<br />Chris Dnoreply@blogger.com
