Yes, I know the Rays won last night. I know that their bats FINALLY seem to have come alive again. I know that if anybody can win three straight and come back from an 0-2 deficit in the postseason, it’s the Tampa Bay Rays. But, I also know that if a certain opposing pitcher throws first pitch strikes 65% of the time, and a certain team can’t hit the damn ball…YOU SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH! JESUS CHRIST! I mean…the odds are in your favor at that point! When, you stand there and watch a strike blow right past you and you act like you’re suprised…Joe Maddon shoud be able to come out of the dugout and bitch-slap you! I won’t even get started on the called third strike tangent!
Anyway…GO RAYS!!!!!!!
Just wanted to convey a sincere thank you for this post. Obviously Freedman, Maddon, or one of the boys is reading this blog and decided to disseminate this useful information around the clubhouse.
They definitely figured out over the weekend that swinging the bat = RBI’s
Thanks Mr. Cheese…I was hoping that a post like that would somehow have a direct impact on the hitting situation. Obviously, it did! I mean, I don’t want to take all of the credit…well, alright!
