Lauer's Velo through the third inning. 

Curious how this compares to earlier in the year. My old mind may be deceiving me.

[JCREW]

Fastball velocities by start.

They are trending slightly down.

Yeah, it just seems weird to have a noon start, local time on a Wednesday.

Then again, maybe the Rays assume no one is going to come either way so may as well get the game over with.

Unless the Red Sox or Yankees are in town nobody goes to Rays games, kinda like the attendance the Marlins get.

Stop it with the terrible camera angles Bally Sports. Missed two pitches in that Parades at-bat.

They must have a camera unplugged or something.

Nevermind technical issues.

I used to live in Miami and once my buddy and I decided to skip work and go to a noon Marlins game on a Wednesday. I was expecting a crowd of 5,000, but it turned out it was "school day" and it was the largest crowd of the season, 35,000 kids. Torture. 

[Pugger]

Is their camera behind the pitcher acting up?

When was that.  I live in N. Fort Myers so we get all of the Marlins game (along with the Rays).

Any news on Davis yet on the radio?  Sophia hasn't said anything yet.

I haven't heard anything from the radio guys on him yet. Hopefully just precautionary, but that sure didn't look good.

[stoutdude04]

That is just awful.

[Brewcrew82]

Ughh. Jace can't be in the outfield. 

[BruisedCrew]

The risk of playing non outfielders in the outfield.

That ball has to be caught

It "sounded" catchable on the radio. But no explicit comment by the radio guys

[Brewcrew82]

Luis getting hot!

[Brewcrew82]

Tropicana field, where balls go up and never come down....

[Nola Beery]

boom!

Ok. Lauer needs to hold onto this for a little while

Alas. He did not.

I suppose, but I feel like earlier in the year he was regularly around 95.  Now hes much more in the 90-93 range.

Whatever juice he had earlier in the season apparently ran out a month or so ago. Lauer looks like a #5/swing man again. 

[Brewcrew82]

Good job by Gustave

[BruisedCrew]

Woodruff’s outing last night was very encouraging, but if Lauer and Hauser continue to struggle the rotation is going to remain a question mark.
