Triple by Longoria. Pena scores from 1st.

Good-bye Beckett!

What a friggen joke. Francoma shows no feel for the game in even sending Beckett back out there tonight. He and Farell need to be slapped for how they managed this game.

Do they get how demoralizing it is for a team to battle back with 3 HRs only to see the manager leave the starter in who is clearly not getting it done?

He gave him a chance to get the win. Gotta get thru 5. Beckett deserves a chance to win.

He’s not right. The velocity just wasn’t there and he was wearing down even before the start of the inning. Should have put Byrd in there after the 4th inning for long relief purposes.

I’ll be surprised if the rays can hold this little lead.

Yup. This game. Rays bullpen will implode.

At best he can hope is a ND. 4 and 1/3 innings with 8 ERs is a seriously piss poor performance.

Intriguing comment about the Rays player who faces red and black stamped yellow tennis balls at 140mph in the batting cage.....eventually calling out color, then number, then spin.

When asked why he does that he says “it slows the game down for me”.

Ted Williams once said that he could pick up the script stamped on the ball and pick up the spin. Nobody’s hit .400...so who are we to call him a liar? LOL!

If TB loses this game you can stick a fork in them.
