Remember you're mother telling you not to fix something if it is not broken? Well maybe that idea applies to what the Devil Rays have going here at Holman stadium. Vero Beach decided to go to the black jerseys last night and picked up a walk off victory so why not go for it again tonight?
Indeed that's exactly what they decided to do. I spoke with JT Hall before the game and he sort of chuckled when I asked about the jerseys. The question is whether or not the ball club comes out tomorrow night against the Blue Jays sporting the perfect 2 for 2 black jerseys.
Tonights win was a special one. Not only did the Devil Rays take the series against the Cardinals, but Heath Rollins picked up his first win of the season. Not to mention this was his first start in front of the home crowd here at Holman. Rollins went 8 strong innings giving up just one run, a home run to the second batter he faced. At one point Rollins sent down 9 straight Cardinal batters and 15 of the last 16 that he faced.
Neal Frontz closed out the ninth inning and remains perfect in save opportunities now 4 for 4. Tomorrow begins the first series against a team from the west in the FSL. Dunedin is in town for four with a 6pm first pitch. You can catch the call starting at 5:45 with the Bud Light pre-game show.
About Me
- Kirk Agius
- I am originally from the great lake state of Michigan. I was born and raised in Trenton, Michigan which is about 25 minutes south of Detroit by highway. I grew up loving the Detroit Tigers and listening to the call on the radio by the lengendary voice of Ernie Harwell. As a matter of fact Ernie was my very first interview during my senior year in high school. I am married to the love of my life in which I met when I was just 15 years old. I have always wanted to be involved with sports broadcasating and have even dabbled in the acting field a little. My first time on a movie set was in a film titled Apt Pupil. Nothing major and in fact if you blink you might miss me. My short lived television commercial career was with Ford. I shot three different commercials for the Ford Focus when it first arrived on the scene in 2000. They even let me speak! My downtime is spent with my wife and our jack russell terrier, Brutus. We love the beach and who knows, maybe one day I will actually utilize the surfboard that is collecting dust in my garage.
