Turning out to be a nice little road trip. Just what the doctor ordered. I am glad they got Escobar back. A team has to stick together and let everyone else criticize the minutae thats irrelevant.

Pitching is a work in progress but it still ha s time to gel

Love the Cobb starts.

If Ordorizzi has a second decent start and Hernandez continues to scuffle, do you think the Rays keep JO in the rotation and moved Hernandez to be the 6th inning/long guy. He seems well suited for that at this point in his career — getting some strikeouts and a ground ball pitcher. It also helps the Rays biggest weakness — the 6th inning, where pitching disasters have been all over the place.

Maddon “backtracking” a lot these days….wonder If he approves of Escobar jumping 3′ in the air to miss a slide and complete the most important play of the game…Review it Joe

Under a “Hail” storm of criticism, Maddon takes the easy way out, “Escobar did nothing wrong” and should not be criticized by anyone…..
OK Joe how about you being the first to keep your mouth shut…to the media& public, Until you talk to one of your players and get the FACTS…hey Joe?

So, just like the Padres have been doing every Sunday for almost 20 years.

Did they just now notice they have a big military base nearby that is the home of 2 major commands: (1) the one in charge of the wars in the Middle East, and (2) the one in charge of the special forces units that killed bin Laden?

So you’d rather see more “cockiness” than “good guys”…what a Moron…and btw Maddon has every “right” in the world to talk to his players about actions, he’s the BOSS on the field!!! And one more thing, it’s the Umpires who are trying to make a name for themselves this year not Maddon arguing with them…I’ve never seen more blatant incorrect calls against one team in all my years of watching baseball!

Seriously now Rays fans, Escobar’s emphatic safe gesture after hitting a 2 run shot in the top of the 9th against the his former team gets all this press? He was booed all game long without mercy, were there 29,000 gay fans in attendance? Probably not, just a lot of baseball challenged Canucks. Maybe the press should have pushed Maddon to answer the question of why he stayed with Lueke so long. Escobar didn’t lose this one, Maddon did.
