Tampa Bay Rays news and links: The Souza game

Related Topics: Steven Souza, Tampa Bay Rays

Steven Souza went a bit crazy on the base paths against John Lester. He took giant leads, got almost picked off twice, but in the end exploited Lester’s troubles throwing to steal two bases, and seemed to unsettle Lester in the process. After the game, he explained his plan.

Just trying to get a big lead and go.

There’s more interview in the link above. Souza also hit his 30th home run, and talked about how thankful he is for a healthy season.

There’s also audio from Kevin Cash and Blake Snell, but Snell’s interview is worth watching on video, so as to fully experience the comments from the peanut gallery (Chris Archer).
