a pitching prospect "blake snell". 3 the rays hosting the phillies in port charlotte... "kevin cash" waving hello 3rd inning - "cedric hunter" solo home run to right field, 1-1 5th inning - "drew smyly" strikes out "cedric hunter". "smyly" pitched 4 and 2/3 innings, gave up 3 hits, one run, 1 walk, and had 4 strikeouts. he threw 66 pitches, 45 for strikes 5th inning - "kevin kiermaier" solo home run to right field. rays win 2-1. 3 the rays also released its travel roster to cuba... 34 players will go, 28 will be active... no "jake odorizzi" or "erasmo ramirez". outfielder and cuban-born, "dayron varona" is the only one going who is *not on the 40 man roster. "matt moore" is getting the start in that game... and he's looking forward to the historic opportunity. not sure you can classify the bucs as big spenders this offseason, but they certainly didn't sit idly by watching free agency go by... they made calculated moves.. re-signing key guys... while adding to the o-line, pass rush, and defensive backfield... g-m "jason licht" hopes the approach to free agency, frees them

jennings doubles and rays won 2-1 and held, young blake snell and braet the rays 6-2 -- beat the rays 6-2. break a couple national division records. comprised of swimmer from dubai and jeremy parker from tampa plant high school. >> it will be a challenge. it's not going to be easy, but i like where we are sitting right now and i think they could establish records in those two events that will stand for a number of years. >> we are all ranked like top 15 in the 50 free. we can do a lot of damage next week. >> we wish them luck and one last note. the university of florida said they will begin serving beer and wine. it will be in premium sitting for football games and men's >>> hour by hour forecast, first thing in the morning temperatures in the mid 50s, decent amount of clouds mixed in with that sunshine, but still a warm day in the mid 70s and showers tomorrow night. >> all right. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- morgan freeman -- from "the real o'neals", martha plimpton -- and music from charles kelley -- with cleto and the cletones --

and the first appearance for blake snell. he got rocked for a three-run homer. so the rays lose 6-2. aarm is goes tomorrow against the orioles. and for all of the excitement of the rays going to cuba to play some ball, not all of the players will be going. they're only going to take around 28 guys. being considered or not. still most are looking forward to havana. >> we have some players in this game, and it will be cool fortous go become there and bring the game to kuhna. it will be an intense, that is for sure. i know a lot of guys are looking forward to going and it would be a great thing an all levels. >> that is the 22nd. >>> and the final home gym of the season, but it had no effect. east carolina was all over them. a nice pass, and they had a turn over problem tonight. too many of them, and they turned into pirate baskets. they scored just 16 points in the first half. finallished with only 39. they had only one three-pointer and they lost to east carolina. >>> and the championship field is looking better and better, and ryan palmer, ernie els, all committ

rays 2-1top prospect, blake snell turning heads already for his outstanding spring early on... but gets roughed up in relief duty.... scott sizemore homers... 1 ip, 3 hits, 1 bb, 1 hrrays lose 6-2 and host baltimore later today..the lightning have a total of ten players selected for the world cup of hockey... a tournment held next september... steven stamkos and ben bishop were the final two picks.... stamkos is a no-brainer with team canada, while bishop joins johnathan quick and cory schnider as goalies for team usa.... tyler johnson was not among the first sixteen picked.... jon cooper says this shows the quality players the lightning big picture under control. know you can see how much you have to spend and whether you should transfer funds. know you can easily keep track of what you're putting away. and know you're budgeted for the great escape. some people don't like to share their wifi, but at bright house networks, we do. login to one of our hotspots and get your code for free wifi at over 50,000 bright house wifi hotspots. its free for 30 days. try a flaky filet-o-fish

later it is blake snell. seven for the rays. he had been turning heads throughout spring early on high praise. but gets roughed up by scott size more. one inning for him. and not the best outing. he is not viewing this as a negative. >> and right now i'm, woulding on my change. it is the best. i'm struggling with it. i'm finding the that's why i'm it is a positive. there is a lot to learn from it, 18 players got playing time. well all it takes is an injury to end a career. for a player he met with several and it has not kept him from the game. merissa lynn has more on a clean slate for johnny vinters and this will be his last come back. >> reporter: spring train something a fresh start for everyone. the players returning from injury the season means more. >> i want to pitch and see what my stuff is like. >> he has not pitched sings 2013 when he was a member of the braves. since then he has had tommy john surgery twice and three times total during his career. >> how do you feel? >> great. my arm feels good. physically i'm excited

blake snell sees his 2nd action... 8th... he pitched 2-innings struck out two and gave up 5-4. aside from the first decent day... but they didn't get a lot of support behind them, the rays committed 3 errors and that's not winning a year in his basement lovie smith has realized he doesn't instead the former bucs coach according to fox sports the university of illinois will announce smith as their new head coach tomorrow... i have to say this is a surprise... the bucs still owe smith 10-million bucks and any new salary he will earn will be deducted from his bucs deal. firends close to smith tell me that he had planned on retiring here in tampa and spending time with his grand children, but the chance to bring his two sons aboard at illinois appears to be his motivation. lovie hasn't coached in college in 21-years. very windy out west for the sprint cup drivers in vegas.... but they're ready for racin. kurt busch with the pole and early lead... no driver who has ever lead the 1st lap has an amazing pass to take the one hits with 44 to go...matt cars go spinning.. busch remains in

five were optioned a group that included blake snell. the rays hosting phillies in port charlotte. that's kevin cash. third inning. and hunter. solo shot to right field off drew smyly. the only mistake he cruised in the fifth. and 4 2/3 of work, three hits allowed. 1 run, four strikeouts. 66 pitches. and kevin goes on today, not enough as the rays fall in this one 5-2. >>> the rays released the travel roster. 34 players will go. no ram irraise. and matt moore will get the start in the game wasn't the cuban national team. he is looking forward to the opportunity. >> i think for a lot of us this is unique leaving and a lot of americans have not seen, you know for to us go over there. and you know find some common ground that. look we know what is going ion here. this is a special moment so i'm looking forward to it. >>> my friends to the baseball tournament. i was throwing out the first pitch between bloomingdale and freedom high. it runs all week. the championship game on friday. everyone out there was welcoming. i was very nervous. not until i got on the hill and horrible first pit
