First things first.
Joe Maddon is an asshole. The guy
thinks he invented baseball. And
every time I see him wearing those glasses thinking he’s Buddy Holly it makes my
blood boil. Good! glad I got that one of
the way. Now onto the Rays pitching
staff and this special “stretching” program that was mentioned in the baseball
preview issue of Sports Illustrated.
There is no argument that the Rays pitching staff is the reason they
have turned things around since the beginning of their horrid existence, but
what makes their pitching staff so much different than everyone else's. The SI piece claimed that their stretching
program was the reason that they have had all these top pitching prospects and the
reason their pitchers hardly ever break down.
This is a complete crock of shit! These guys are all on some crazy PED
that we don’t even know about yet. I
mean if it is just a stretching program can’t teams that actually have money
like the Red Sox, Dodgers and Phillies just hire the best stretching program guy
and BOOM! Problem solved? I’m betting
Maddon has some connection down in Cuba that is sending these guys the best
undetectable PED's and that is the root cause for the Rays pitching staff being so
good the past 6 years.
PS. Lots of nut-swinging on the Rays recent hot
streak.17-2 in the last 19. That’s nice,
but look who they have played: Astros, White Sox, Twins and Blue Jays. If that is the Red Sox last 19 they go 19-0. I predict we take 3 of 4 in this series.
