It should be noted that this entire best-record-in-baseball-hot-streak is happening with several of our best hitters in a SLUMP! That's right!
In the last 7 days, for example:
Jason Bartlett is hitting .174
BJ Upton is hitting .222
And Carlos Pena is hitting a shocking .154
In addition, super-slugging Super-Utility-Player Ben Zobrist doesn't have a Home Run yet this season!
However, our starting rotation has an incredible ERA of 2.75, the best in the AL. We have allowed the fewest runs in the AL. And our team batting average jumps with runners in scoring position.
In short, the Rays still have the best record in Baseball, and tonight welcome the Cleveland Indians to St. Pete for a 2-game series.
Let's go get 'em, guys! :D
