    Nashy is strong on a game tonight

    I've been a little off lately, 2 and 3 in my last 5, the ship gets righted tonight.

    (This coming from a life long Yankee fan)
    TB Rays - 109 over NY Yankees

    No time for a real long write up, but here goes:

    -Archer's across the board numbers this year are sound, kid is by no means a hamburger, got a good arsenal.
    -Rays at home are beasts 41-23
    -Yanks struggle down there in TB
    -Yanks can't touch Archer, rookie has faced them twice, shut them down twice 3-1 and 1-0

    -Kuroda's last six starts has thrown well over 100 pitches in all of them, has to be tired.
    -Core members of the Rays line up torch Kuroda, DH tonight Kelly Johnson, owns him. KJ .368/.429 v Kuroda.
    Zobrist also, 4/7 1HR, 2 doubles, a tripl, and a big fly tater to boot, You think Zobrist is drooling to get in the box tonight. 4 for 7 all extra base hits.

    Longoria is a weapon, Joyce is sneaky, and Loney (even though has weak power numbers) has been raking all season.
    Newest Ray, DeJesus can not be over looked at the bottom of the order, been hitting his whole career.

    Yanks are once again have become the public darling, Kuroda getting bet up big at almost even money.

    Kuroda, Yanks, and Yank backers are in for a set back tonight.

    RAYS -109 LARGE !

    Pitchers don't get tired. I can stand still for 2 hrs and throw 200 pitches and don't even break a sweat. Football players get tired, basketball players get tired, hockey players get tired..but pitchers don't get tired. Pitching is not an aerobic activity.

    Arms become dead in late August and September. Kuroda has been throwing way too much the past month.
    Disagree, but all good.

    Kuroda pitched 3 games in October last year and he went 7 to 8 innings in each game. The guy is a horse. I wouldn't worry about a dead arm from him.

    Those Yankee lineups Archer faced before are totally different than the one he is seeing tonight.

    Come on man.

    Um, ARod over Lillibredge..

    ARod and Granderson over 2 complete scrubs is a pretty big difference. Lineup changers.

    Bottom line is Archer beat them twice.

    Yeah, it's not like Archer got torched in the first either. Let's see how the last eight innings plays out

    He grooved that pitch to Lobaton.
    It was on a tee, and the catcher squared it up. Effortless.

    Back to back, and belly to belly.

    Holy crap, I thinks the ball Joyce just hit is orbiting Jupiter right now.

    He got lit up in the Boston game, the dude is getting old, I respect what he does and has done, but if you saw the Red Sox game, you knew he was breaking down.

    Even the DP ball was smoked, KJ loves to hit him, he set up the first homer with the laced single through the middle.

    Thanks JJ. Needed this one. (well, not really, but I did pick two stinkers earlier this week)
    Maybe Nashy got his groove back again.
    Let's see.

    Nice call......Yankees fan here too and I knew Archer would give us trouble, just didn't think Kuroda would get lit up like that

    Didn't look up the stats at all and I know he's been way off, but I think CC usually pitches well against the Rays and the Yanks usually hit Price well

    Gotta figure +155 tomorrow ain't a bad shot at all

    Hey..I wasn't disagreeing with Nash's pick. I just wanted to point out that Kuroda wasn't tired or had a dead arm. Lighten up for Christ's sake. You are acting like an old grumpy man all the time.

    He pitched that game with a tried/dead arm. Everything he threw had no bite, was not crisp, was pretty much in every Ray's wheelhouse.
