Not watching but it sounds like the Righetti injury?I have a vague memory of a Devil Rays pitcher getting hurt like that after a pitch.
Our "real" first baseman is hitting .147. Big left handed hitter, unfortunately the only big left handed hitter from the past I can think of that he's emulating is Tony Clark.At least we have a real first baseman this year! Granted we now have whatever Bobby is playing SS, Bloom can’t quit him!
Possible volunteerBloom will be fired before Labor Day. This looks like a 90 loss team. There is no good reason Dalbac is playing SS.
Lugo at least was good on popupsWords really can’t express just how done with Bobby Dalbec I am. I can’t keep watching him play. I truly, truly can’t stand watching him. It’s Julio Lugo levels of revulsion at this point.
Sadly, it’s all about the roster. Who else could they have called up, Duran? Hamilton? Not many options. Think they should have cut bait on Dalbec and Duran, but the org seems hesitant, desperately clinging on to guys like that and Ort because…reasons?We’ve already failed the Dalbec experiment again, not only playing him at shortstop but giving him relevant at bats against RHP. He’s not going to suddenly figure out how to hit RHP, sorry to say. Full commitment to making outs running him out there.
Rays need someone to watch them play.Spectator tonight on defense.
Presumably the alternatives are not better, merely different. I agree. They don’t have many options.Sadly, it’s all about the roster. Who else could they have called up, Duran? Hamilton?
