Split Series

I guess the Devil Rays are back to being the Washington Generals.

In two games now, the DRays have seen 214 pitches in 17 innings, and only drawn three walks. That's 12 1/2 pitches per inning. If they want to get into the soft underbelly of their opponents bullpens, they are going to have to work the opposition harder than that.

Bunt for singles? Lou Pinella must think he's still back in Seattle with Ichiro on the team.

I think this team will really struggle with plate patience. Neither Crawford nor Baldelli in particular are patient at the plate. Obviously it wasn't a factor of knowing a what a pitcher liked to do on the first pitch as some speculated about yesterday with Mussina.
