Rays play Small Ball to even Series

 Against Boston it was hit and trot around the bases.

 

Tonight against the Phillies, it was hit and hustle down the line.

 

The Rays use National League style small ball to tie the 104th World Series at a game each.  The Rays pushed 4 runs across the plate in very un-Ray like fashion:

 

Single to left rbi.

Fielders Choice rbi.

Fielders Choice rbi.

Sac Fly rbi.

 

James Shields was Kaz like…high pitch count, but did still manage to get the job done. 5 2/3 IP, 7 hits, and 0 runs.

 

“Unreal, this is awesome.” Those were the words of rookie David Price who once again showed he is more than ready for prime time. The fire-balling left-hander turned in the final 7 outs to knock down the Rays first World Series win in franchise history.

 

The scene now shifts to Philly for games 3-5 starting Saturday night.

What I am absolutely going nuts about (in a bad way) is that Carlos Pena, Evan Longoria and even Carl Crawford (and to a lesser extent, BJ Upton - because he was hitting yesterday) haven't gotten on the bus of just getting on base.

They continue to swing for the fences -- and whiff, whiff, whiff or pop up.

Yeah, all three have power and this IS the cleanup section, after all...  But when you are ohfer your last dozen at bats, especially in the World Series, you need to keep it simple and just get on base.  Be patient at the plate.

GO RAYS!!! Longoria and Pena need to bring their bats to Philadephia, they clearly forgot to bring them to the TROP. I think we can take 2 out of 3 in philly and bring it home to win the WS!!!!!! We have to have offense though. Where are the Rays that played in the ALCS, lets see that kind of offense!!! 9=1, WS Champions!!!!!!
