1. Morneau looks good at the plate. Another towering yard-job yesterday and a couple of other hard hit balls.
2. Cuddy is looking pretty good--hammered one out also yesterday. Kubel is really killing the ball.
3. Punto looks good in the field and at the plate--web gem yesterday and two hits..
4. Crede looks bad at the plate. Hopefully it's just rust. He was taking extra BP under the stadium before the game swing with one hand on the bat.
5. Pitching looks pretty solid except for Nathan--he's getting hit pretty much every outing.
6. Yesterday was Cretin-Durham Hall day at the game--Joe M. was hanging out with them. Rumor in the stands was that he has been pain free the last few days. Without him catching position is a liability. Morales can hit but can't throw or call a game. Redmond only can play a couple of times a week. Butera can catch but can't hit.
7. Span is in a big slump--seems to be pulling away from the ball a lot. He looks good in the field though. He also made a bad base running mistake yesterday. Maybe it was because it was a laugher.
8. Gomez is taking a lot of pitches but still swings at a lot of bad balls.
9. Even though they scored at will yesterday, the offense can disappear against good pitching. The Rays left one of their starters in yesterday too long--gave up 11 runs. A guy sitting by us said that their manager was punishing him for reporting out of shape.
