Rays (Jax) vs Red Sox (Bennett): 5/7/26, 7:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Rays are going with Jax, who I assume will be in an opener role. It will be interesting to see if Tampa tries to stretch him a little. And opposing him is Bennett; what do you expect from him after his MLB debut?

The last two times Jax opened, Scholtens followed for bulk innings. Another guy in the long list of "who the hell is that" the Rays have thrown out there and gotten quality innings from.

I’ve seen Scholtens before.  He’s been a <gasp> injury reclamation project the Rays latched on to after the White Sox released him.

The Rays are probably my least favorite team to play, going back to their emergence as a real pain in the butt in 2008.  You don't get many easy games against them.  They are like Revenge of the Nerds, Major League Baseball version.

I think they've been as big of a rival as the Yankees since then as well.
