    Those Impossible Dreaming Rays @ The Savoring Yankees 9/20-9/22




    Probables
    Davis VS Nova
    Shields VS Sabathia/Hughes(seems they would likely go with CC against James)
    Hellickson V Sabathia/Hughes
    Niemann VS Colon


    The Rays are trying to do the impossible to eke out a WC spot, the Yankees are trying to pad their lead in the AL East and would by virtue of pounding the Rays possibly seal another show down with their longer term division rivals in the post season.

    These two clubs at the moment are kind of a mirror of each other, the Rays have strong pitching that at times has been hung out to dry by an inconsistent offense. The Yankees pitching is unusually weak but their offense is highly explosive and has muscled their way through in the second half of the season.


    Win or lose at least the Rays have made it interesting in the final weeks of the season. Besides, I am relishing the arrival of the Evil Republic forcing the Evil Nation to do the umimaginable task of rooting for the Evil Empire if they want to keep their wild card hopes alive.



    Tonight’s Match-ups

    Wade Davis gave up 4 runs against the O’s last Wed. all on homers. This will be his first time facing the Yankees this season.

    Ivan Nova gave up just one run in 7 1/3 against the Mariners on Wed. He hasn’t been a source of angst for manager Joe Girardi this season.



    ****The Rays will be without Ben Zobrist tonight and possibly tomorrow due to the birth of his daughter.

    Cano lifts a high pop to left foul territory, Jennings on the run and he makes the catch.


    Davis gave up a lot pitches, if he doesn't settle could be an early night for him.

    Joyce lines a rocket right at Teix, the tag of Kotch for 2, though I want to see a replay again on the tag.

    Swisher doubles into left.
    Chavez singles into right, Swish scores.
    Martin lines a single into right.
    Gardner bunts, Kotch with the ball throw to SRod covering and the call is safe. Bases loaded with no outs.
    Jete down swinging.
    Grandyman lines a double into right, Chavez scores, Martin to the plate, throw from Joyce not in time Gardner slides into home.
    Teix grounds to first, Grandy to third.
    ARod grounds to short.

    That explosive offense takes a commanding lead early 4-0.

    On to the third.
