With their backs up against the wall, the Rays walk into the Trop to face the Orioles in this all important series. The entire season depends on what the Rays and the A’s are able to do over the next three days. We could very well be talking about getting out to the Trop to send BJ Upton off in style. Or, we could possibly be talking about a team that needs to win in order to see the light of another day. Rinse and repeat Wednesday too! Oh the drama of meaningful baseball! Personally, I’ll be on “Rodney makes history” watch. Whatever the case, Let’s Go Rays!
Rays October 1, 2012 Starting Lineup
Jennings LF
Upton CF
Zobrist SS
Longoria 3B
Keppinger 1B
Francisco DH
Fuld RF
Roberts 2B
Gimenez C
Cobb RHP
Noteworthiness: Chris Gimenez will get his third consecutive start tonight. It bears mentioning that Gimenez is 3-6 with a homer since he’s gotten the nod behind the plate. Sam Fuld will hold down the duties in right-field, while Jeff Keppinger finds himself at first with Chen (a lefty) on the mound.
