Rays 7/19/12 Starting Lineup:
Upton CF
Pena 1B
Zobrist 2B
Scott DH
Keppinger 3B
Matsui RF (Ugggggh)
Jennings LF
Molina C
Rodriguez SS
Price LHP
Noteworthiness: Really? Matsui in RF? The only justification for that, at least that I can see, is that Maddon is trying to nudge him in the direction of the DL. After all, you may recall that he was taken out of the game in the second inning in his last start in RF, following an injury incurred when Matsui tried to catch a routine pop-fly in a June game against the Yankees.
Also, the Times published a piece today on Rays hitting coach Derek Shelton. They, effectively, said any criticism for Shelton is unfair. Hmm, I do agree somewhat. However by that rational, any and all accolades and praise put firmly on Jim Hickey are unnecessary as well.
