Good luck down the stretch run, guys.

I was wondering when you were gonna pop up, Mr. Rail Road.

Stats are updated.

Big opportunities for the Blue Jays and Twins again tomorrow. American League is getting crazier. Braves look like they might be making a move to get into the NL playoff race...

The rays are now showing the first sign of "stat sheet filling" moves.

I hope to do the same with the Giants soon.

Rays Rotation Update

Shields (Short Rest 3)

You need a starter in between Archer and Shields after Archer's short rest, cause that'd be short rest for Shields again.

[Lament]

You've only used one short rest so far by my count (Shields in game 28), so you do have three left. But this would have Shields starting on short rest twice in a row, and a pitcher is required to get full rest after a short rest start.

switched up my lineup just for fun:

1 Carlos Gomez CF
2 Robin Yount SS
3 Cecil Cooper RF
4 Prince Fielder 1B
5 Ryan Braun LF
6 Jonathan Lucroy C
7 Don Money 2B
8 Paul Molitor 3B

It's the damned RAYS. No one cares
