[THE HANGOVER] What Rays fans will be talking about today

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe.THE GOOD: Matt Moore won back back-to-back starts for the first time since September, 2013. He only struck out 3 batters, but he allowed just 2 runs in 6.2 innings. We’ll take it…Erasmo Ramirez seems to be getting his groove back. After giving up 10 runs in his last 5 outings, covering 4 innings pitched, and looking tired, Ramirez has now pitched back-to-back solid outings. The latest was classic Erasmo, recording 4 crucial outs in the 7th and 8th innings, striking out 2 and allowing just one hit…Brad Miller has 7 home runs in his last 21 games and a career-high 12 on the season. As we have seen these season, power is not Miller’s problem. He has 4 of the Rays’ 11 longest home runs this season and there is no fluke in hitting long home runs…Through the first 36 games of the season, Logan Morrison was hitting .129 with 11 hits, no home runs, and no runs batted in. He also had 29 strikeouts. Morrison was a dumpster fire and we all wanted him gone. The one person who stuck with Morrison was Kevin Cash, in part because of injuries to other players, and in part because he thought Morrison just needed to find his groove. In the 46 games since, Morrison is hitting .292 with 9 home runs and a team-best 30 runs batted in. His latest big RBI came in the 4th inning on Monday when he broke a 1-1 tie with his 9th home run.
