No way Boesch hits that to LF without looking for it.

Loney is recently quoted saying how much he likes the environment/atmosphere compared to other clubhouses.

Hernandez to the pen now. Any reliever with options down now. My prediction: Price won’t pitch until after the ALL-STAR break. By then it should be pretty apparent whether the seasons lost and if so, go with the young guys and entertain offers for Hellboy or Price.

Topkin after the latest clubhouse party following Rodney’s blown save in Toronto.

Topkin. “Instead Maddon shifts the blame to Ramos for allowing 3 runs,” another tweet. Really Joe?

That would be more like calling for Hellickson to be shipped out, which no one seems to be doing. Hellickson and Shields do have a track record of success, Hernandez has 2007 and tons of suck.

Pena was a similar case; his 2007 chance came only due to Norton’s injury. Don’t get me wrong, they have done so much good and created a fantastic organizational culture; but they lay their fair share of turds and criticism is justified. Hernandez is a turd. Luckily he did not cost as much as Burrell; cut bait.

Hernandez was signed to a 1 year, 3.25 MM contract not a $5MM contract like some would imply.

For a big league team to take a crack at a once-good starter for the discount bin price of less than $4MM is/was a smart gamble. It hasn’t paid-off, so to this point I was wrong in my defense of the signing, but the fundamental difference between me and certain other Rays’ fans is that I can own my mistakes.

Now we just need the organization to put a time-frame with specific parameters on when and how to make a change in the rotation.
