Rochester 3, Durham 0. Jeff NIemann had a typical Niemann outing last night. At least it was typical of this season. He struck out 7 in 6 innings but gave up 6 hits, 3 walks and 3 runs. Not bad, but not good either. His ERA is now 4.02 and [...]
Devil Rays 13, Mariners 12.What is the over/under these days for runs needed by the Rays offense when Jae Seo is on the mound? 13 sounds about right. It is sad when your team has a 12-4 lead after 5 innings and you are still scared. Sure enough, Seo had [...]
Durham 10, Rochester 6 (14 inn). Second straight strong start for JP Howell as he tries to get back on the radar with the Rays front office. Howell threw 5 shutout innings of 1-hit, 1 walk ball. He struck out 3. He retired 11 of the last 12 batters he [...]
Dear Mr. Dukes, You don’t know me and I don’t know you. I don’t know what kind of person you are. I don’t know if you are funny or sweet, smart or dumb, a “nice guy” or just a plain asshole. I have no idea what kind of person you [...]

Mariners 5, Devil Rays 2.You can often tell in the first inning if Scott Kazmir is going to have a good night or not. Last night, Kid K did not allow a run until the 5th inning but we knew the Rays were going to have a difficult time winning [...]
Elijah Dukes currently leads all major league rookies with eight home runs and is considered one of the best athletes in baseball. Dukes, who had numerous run-ins with the law throughout his minor league career, including a January arrest for marijuana possession, and has been suspended by the Devil Rays [...]
Durham 4, Syracuse 2. After 5 consecutive losses, Jason Hammel got back on the winning track with 7 innings of 1-run ball. Hammel has been plagued by a lack of run support recently, but took matters into his own hands last night. His ERA on the season is now 3.30 [...]

Something smells…Let’s see if we can figure out what it is… Yesterday, somebody in the comments section asked about the number of runners inherited that Shawn Camp had allowed to score this year. Of course, we really don’t need a statistics to tell us that the answer is somewhere between [...]
