#Rays Tyler Glasnow said he uses sunscreen and rosin to grip ball. With MLB directives starting, he went “cold turkey” against Nats, struck out 11. But he was hurting after. He tore UCL Mon night. Out for a while. He’s angry, frustrated.

To recap: @USFBaseball gets 2 wins against 10-ranked ECU, wins first conference title in 26 years (beating UCF in Final), beats UF/UM back-to-back while winning Regional, then gives powerhouse Texas a scare in Super Regional. Hello, world. From here, it only gets better.
