    I like what the Tampa Bay Rays are thinking of doing tomorrow.

    Start Sergio Romo for two innings against the Angels and then bring in the starter.


    "The way that their lineup stacks, generally speaking, is very heavy right-handed at the top," Cash told the Tampa Bay Times after Thursday's game. "It allows us in theory to let Sergio to come in there and play the matchup game in the first, which is somewhat unheard of -- up until Saturday, anyway."

    Sabermetrics says to do it.

    Instead of having "Closers".......have "Openers" because the game is usually decided early on.
