And, as you've come to expect from Biscuit Crumbs, a lot on the Rays, Durham Bulls, Charlotte Stone Crabs and Bowling Green Hot Rods, too.<br />
<br />
Go to <a href="http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/sports/biscuits/">montgomeryadvertiser.com/sports/biscuits</a> to see all of our coverage.<br />
<br />
Since all the stories/blog posts/etc. are there, there's no longer any need for me to post daily links. The page will still have the daily recap of each game, the nightly Rays roundup and the morning Ranking the Rays.<br />
<br />
With that, I won't be posting to this blog anymore, but I'll still be using my posts here as historical reference. Heck, we started using Blogger in 2006 and have used it ever since, except for one season where I was required to use montgomeryadvertiser.com as the blog's home, with more than 6,000 posts in between.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the new look. See you at the ballpark ... and, of course, <a href="http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/sports/biscuits/">montgomeryadvertiser.com/sports/biscuits</a>.

<br />
No reason for Ramsey going on the DL was included in the Biscuits' announcement of the Rays' announcement.<br />
<br />
Ramsey hasn't given up a hit in three innings/three appearances, but he hasn't pitched since April 10 -- and that's his only outing since April 5.<br />
<br />
Neil was a combined 5-5 with a 3.70 ERA between Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans in the Miami organization last year. He's a fourth-year pro and was a 29th-round draft pick of the Marlins out of BYU in 2011.<br />

<br />
Mateo walked two and struck out four before rains halted play with one out in the bottom of the sixth.<br />
<br />
It's the right-hander's fourth career complete game. His third was a no-hitter last August for the Biscuits. Nine innings, too.<br />
<br />
Montgomery staked Mateo to a 2-0 lead before he took the mound.<br />
<br />
<b>Ryan Brett </b>hit a leadoff single and scored on <b>Taylor Motter'</b>s double. With one out, <b>Cameron Seitzer </b>singled in Motter. The Biscuits led 3-0 after <b>Richie Shaffer </b>doubled and scored on a wild pitch in the fourth.<br />
<br />
Mateo took a no-hitter into the fifth inning.<br />
<br />
Pensacola's <b>Juan Silverio </b>hit a leadoff single and <b>Juan Duran </b>doubled him to third. But <b>Joey Rickard </b>threw out Silverio at home on <b>Bryson Smith'</b>s flyout before <b>Devin Lohman </b>grounded back to Mateo to end the threat.<br />
<br />
In the sixth, <b>Yorman Rodriguez </b>walked and scored on <b>Donald Lutz'</b>s triple for the Blue Wahoos before heavy rain stopped play.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235590.post-12756688626698318132014-04-14T17:31:00.002-05:002014-04-14T17:31:55.577-05:00Romero might be bound for big leagues<b>Enny Romero </b>has been scratched from his scheduled start tonight for Triple-A Durham and could be headed for the big leagues.<br /><br />Tampa Bay's <b>Jake Odorizzi</b>, who is scheduled to start Tuesday at Baltimore, is sick.

<br />
<br />
The Rays did not reveal the severity of the injury, which could be as "little" as tendinitis or, obviously, much more severe.

Runion, a 25-year-old right-hander, is an eighth-year pro.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235590.post-70385330576699846122014-04-14T06:30:00.000-05:002014-04-14T06:30:00.423-05:00Ranking the Rays ...
