Is his superior defense worth his total lack of offense?
He seems to be a streak hitter- his defense is always there. The

runs he may not be driving in, he saves on defense

Another BS third called strike against the Bucs

Another wrong call needing a challenge, that should never have been wrong in the first place. These are supposed to be the best of the best, but the local 13 and under umpires could make that call at second with ease. And the umpire was RIGHT on top of the play! How do you miss a call that easy?

Glad we got an out for someone else's poor base running for once.

Is it me, or does the score seem a lot worse than 2-0? The Pirates have had no offensive threat for 3 1/2 games now.

I'm not one to complain about umps, but this is pathetic. Utterly brutal behind home plate. And nearly every single one has gone in favor of the Rays.

Right elbow discomfort for Velasquez.

For the extended success the Rays have had, I still wonder why they don't draw better. I hear it's the lousiest stadium in the history of stadiums. You'd just think with a consistent winner, they'd show up with better crowds than they do.

Immaculate inning for Holderman!!!!!
