Joe Maddon wanted a call made to the bullpen on Sunday against the Marlins, but pitching coach Jim Hickey could not reach the bullpen because the phone was dead. "Hick's like, 'The phone's not working, Joe; what should I do?'" the Rays manager said. Maddon called timeout and informed the umpires of the situation. He then employed utility infielder Will Rhymes to deliver a message to the bullpen that Jake McGee and Burke Badenhop should begin to get loose. "Yeah, he looked like the fastest," said Maddon of Rhymes. "The [starting] pitchers are so disinterested at that point. They've been eating food the whole game, so they're not really able to run down to the bullpen, like he did. Rhymsy was eager. The 'Radar O'Reilly' kind of a thing. He had that look in his eye, so I felt good about it."
