Sean Burnett was sent down yesterday after having an incredibly good spring, and it turns out he wasn't real happy about it.
"I'm furious, frustrated," Burnett said. "I threw the [stuffing] out of the ball and I thought maybe I had a chance, but it's a numbers thing right now."
Burnett tossed 11 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and no earned runs. The Bucs also sent down Shane Youman and Kevin Gryboski.
In case you missed it, the Bucs topped the Twinkies today, 13-7. Ian Snell got roughed up a little bit, allowing 4 earned runs in 5 innings of work, but still struck out 6. Brad Eldred, continuing his push to make the team out of camp was 3 for 4 with his 6th homerun of the spring, 3 batted in and a walk. Adam LaRoche also hit a homer in the game, his second of the spring.
Tomorrow the Bucs will try and stick it to the D-Rays at 1:05.
