In Upton's defense, he's just making it look easy - St. Petersburg Times

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:30:26 +1900

In Upton's defense, he's just making it look easy By John Romano , Times Columnist In print: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 In the past few days, he has become famous for not caring. Yet he sits before you now with eyes growing red, voice dropping low and resolve seemingly fading. And you begin to wonder if perhaps B.J. Upton has been judged too harshly, after all. Since Aug. 5, the Rays' ...

BJ Upton Is Still Anti-Hustle

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:00:56 +1900

On Saturday, Ziller brought you the story of BJ Upton’s embarrassing benching by coach Joe Maddon (again), which resulted from Upton’s unwillingness to run down the line. Based on what happened in the Rays’ 6-4 win over the Angels last night, BJ still doesn’t understand the “running” aspect of the game: The speedy center fielder, who has been benched ...

In defense of B.J. Upton — sort of. | Blurbex

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:30:32 +1900

Rays centerfielder B.J. Upton got booed last night — in his home park. That can’t feel good. After being benched twice in the last few weeks by manager Joe Maddon for lack of hustle, Upton made a baserunning error that looked really, really bad: He hit a sharp shot to right, then hung around the batter’s box admiring the flight of the ball, thinking it was a homerun. Then he ambled down the ...

Upton gaffe mars impressive Rays win - St. Petersburg Times

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:50:12 +1900

By Marc Topkin , Times Staff Writer In print: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 ST. PETERSBURG — In the context of Monday's game, the play meant nothing. Over the remainder of the season, it could mean everything. The Rays won again Monday, beating the Angels 6-4. They improved to 76-48, and with another win tonight (and they are planning on playing) could supplant the Angels as the best team in the ...

Game 123 - Rays vs. Rangers

Balfour’s Percy impersonation was not amusing! First, sorry no post on Saturday’s game. There was really not too much to say about it. It was kinda like tit for tat. Garza shut them out and so they returned the favor. However last night the Rays won another series. That is so groovy. You know what else is groovy? BJ Upton. He knows that groove is in the heart! He came ...

B.J. Upton Still Isn't Paying Attention

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:04:34 +1900

Despite being benched twice in the last two weeks for lackadaisical base running, B.J. Upton committed yet another mind-numbing mistake on Monday. With two outs left in the fourth, Upton hit a line drive to left field. After rounding first base, he casually jogged toward second, apparently thinking that he'd just homered, completely oblivious that Juan Rivera had just rifled the ball to Mark ...

THE GOOD: Cliff Floyd's knees. Somehow Floyd's legs were still intact after the game, despite having to run the bases a whopping 5 times. Twice Floyd had to score all the way from first base on extra-base hits by Willy Aybar. Floyd scored 4 runs in total. THE BAD: James Shields . Shields walked a season-high 5 batters in only 5 innings...The Bullpen. No they were actually pretty ...
