Not sure why we stuck with Bryce so long. He was really struggling to find it today. It's not like we need to save the bullpen. Now it's going to be very difficult to come back. SMH Because he's earned it.

Just read the article...... it may be too long for you to concentrate on. No one said Riley never swings at a first pitch but this year it's very rare. He's unsure of himself and bullheaded about swinging at the first pitch. Therefore he gets in a hole. If the pitching coaches are aware of his hesitancy I trust them. This is the quote again ""Mags (assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes) said this a couple of weeks ago about Riley and I loved it — the only decision a hitter makes is ‘no.’ You’re, ‘Yes, yes, yes,’ until you say ‘no.’ So it’s not, ‘See it, see it … yes,’ or ‘See it, see it … no.’ It’s ‘go’ and then say ‘no.’ And that’s how you have to hit.” With Riley it's mostly 'no' or 'maybe' when it should be 'yes'.

And yes, it was stupid today because we had the whole pen available.
It took 4 walks and 7 hits in basically three innings for Snitwit to recognize Elder didn't have it today.
Ah well, it's a throwaway game anyway to Snit.

Glad he and Stridor are not going to pitch in the All Star Game. It's mostly a waste. Better to rest for the Braves season.

I wouldn't call it a throwaway game, but the Rays are due a win, the Braves gotta lose sometime, and Tampa is a good team, so.......meh, no big deal.

SMH Because he's earned it. He has but after that walk to lead off the 4th, his 4th in 3+ innings, I thought he looked a little down. It was obvious he was having an off day and struggling mightily with his control and command. Now he'll get a nice long deserved rest and will hopefully be ready to roll again for the 2nd half.

JJ in to pitch pitch. Ozzie really good with that 1 handed scoop fielding. I was never that sure handed. I tried to get in front of everything or block it with my body when I played 2nd base.

Jimenez with a strong 6th retires the side in order on 11 pitches.

Bottom 7th. 8-4 Rays. Will Snit give the backups a few innings or does he stick with the starters till the end?

This team will be fine …we’ve already won the series and any momentum the Rays acquire will dissipate over the AS break It’s just been so rare lately to lose that it messes with our heads … and we haven’t lost YET!
