If anyone has watched the pregame show, you would know how frustrated Manager Dave Trembley is with the way his club is playing right now. The lack of clutch hitting, the mental errors, and the struggles of the bullpen are all areas of concern.
Well, the first inning of today's game just adds to the list. Carl Crawford popped up in between shortstop and third base, and both Miguel Tejada and Cesar Izturis failed to catch it. Tejada was charged with the error, and rather than being the second out of the inning, Crawford scored on Carlos Pena's 3-run homerun.
The error gave the Rays an extra out to work with, and Pena was able to take advantage of it. These are the mistakes that are frustrating Trembley.
Bergesen was able to get the next batter and end the inning, but the damage was already done. Here come the O's to bat.
