Suwheet!

My lone Jake McGee

sheetskout · Sep 13, 2010

At one time I felt he was the best of the Rays pitching prospects.

Nice! Should have been up last week though

As I suspected, the Bulls needed him for the playoffs. Interesting that he's leaving just as the Governor's Cup begins, though. I have a feeling Columbus will beat them either way.

andyduke86 · Sep 13, 2010

They wouldn't leave a player down just for the AAA playoffs so that is not a real reason. He hasn't worked on back to back days yet so I bet they were still getting him used to warming up on short notice and acclimating to the relief role. Hopefully he gets to blow away a few of the Yankee's lefties on national tv tomorrow or Wednesday.

Joshua.Roundtree · Sep 13, 2010

He'll have a huge impact. Randy Choate has been running on empty. He already leads all of baseball in games pitched and it seems like he's up every night. McGee will give the Rays at least another option for lefties out of the pen. McGee could play his way on to the post season roster, they found a loophole to allow David Price on in '08. Also, I wonder if this has anything to do with Rafael Soriano sitting at 88 yesterday for his two batter blown save. Soriano has gotten an awful lot of work, he may be wearing down as well. This is a great move that couldn't have come at a better time.

If the Rays are still down come the late innings, he might make it in the game tonight....

Were you the one who had that card when McGee wanted to trade a glove or something for it a few years ago (IIRC)?

walks his first batter on 4 pitches

rainmanesq · Sep 14, 2010

it's about time- hope he does well

mannyramirezcollec · Sep 14, 2010

Not looking good

walks in a run

andyduke86 · Sep 14, 2010

You can tell from his lowered velocity and deliberate delivery (more so than usual) that he's trying too hard to locate. He just needs to trust his stuff and let it go. I also find it interesting that he's working from the 3rd base side of the rubber. Never noticed that before.

JEA2880 · Sep 14, 2010

He just K'd Jeter

Yep

Joshua.Roundtree · Sep 14, 2010

Now he'll have a lead if he goes back out, he's in line for the WIN.

Joshua.Roundtree · Sep 14, 2010

Well Hellickson just made sure that wouldn't happen. McGee looked like he was beyond nervous. His delivery looked so robotic like he was forcing himself to pitch a certain way instead of letting go. I don't think he gave Joe Maddon very much confidence in going to him though, so it might be awhile before he gets another chance.
