4/11 These Rays Gotta Go

[Norm Siebern]

And let me tell you, it was difficult to wrestle the 8-ball away from Clell Lavern "Butch" Hobson.

This, this is really good, very good. Unlike this edition of the Red Sox, who are just horrible.

 

[derekson]

Zero shot they don't sweep us

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Whitlock might not have been the savior we were looking for...

It is best if you accept the inevitability that they won’t beat this team no matter what and just try to do better against the other teams.

 

[Delicious Sponge]

If you keep missing location this team will absolutely punish you.

 

[Beomoose]

White flag warming

 

[Redkluzu]

So today on NPR, I heard analysis of why there are so many home runs in BB this year. Don't yell at me, but...wait for it...CLIMATE CHANGE.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Rays might be good.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

If you keep missing location this team will absolutely punish you.

Their ratio of bad pitches against to bad pitches punished is basically 1:1.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Whitlock just couldn't hit any spots tonight.

 

[mauidano]

Brasier for the next three innings. No point in wasting anyone else.

 

[Toe Nash]

Look the Rays start has been historic for sure but let's wait to raise the banner until they play an actual MLB team.

Surely the climate in the world affects what happens inside the Trop

 

[JCizzle]

It’s April. It’s April. It’s April. It’s April.

He hit the meatball spot plenty

 

[scotian1]

Whitlock, you are better out of the pen.

 

[LynnRice75]

Pitch clock allows for the Rays homerun celebration to be interrupted by another home run celebration.

 

[patinorange]

I'll

It may just be Red Sox pitching.

I just want a pitching staff that throws every pitch low and away or low and inside. Forget about mixing it up.

 

[budcrew08]

What deal with the devil did this fucking team make?

 

[patinorange]

So, how are we feeling about 2024?

No need to be snotty, the point is IN BASEBALL more generally.

Braiser as the #4 starter?

 

[JCizzle]

This team brings the snot out of most of us

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

There’s something happening here. But what it is ain’t exactly clear.

 

[Redkluzu]

This, I get.

 

[LesterFan]

Yoshida can't hit the ball in the air

 

[normstalls]

That GIDP was inevitable and depressing

 

[patinorange]

At least the scoreless streak is over.

 

[JCizzle]

Yoshida can't hit the ball in the air

I heard on a podcast that the balls are slightly smaller in Japan so hopefully it’s just an adjustment period. Hopefully.

 

[Norm Siebern]

I'm starting to think that Chaim Bloom is the Manchurian Candidate of baseball General Managers. Created in a brain washing facility somewhere in Tampa, then sent north to Boston to destroy the Red Sox. We'll, mission accomplished. He can't be fired soon enough.

 

[derekson]

Watching this team just puts me in that kind of mood.

Yoshida can't hit the ball in the air

Putting him into the cleanup spot isn't exactly setting him up for success

 

[GPO Man]

What deal with the devil rays did this fucking team make?

FIFY

 

[mauf]

They aren’t going to show a replay, but that looked like a better-than-routine play by Refsnyder on a hard-hit ball that flew more or less directly over his head.

 

[ngruz25]

Bleier giving up some rockets. Got away with it, though.

 

[LynnRice75]

Yoshida can't hit the ball in the air

Our worst hitter bats lead off.
Our least powerful guy bats clean up.
Strange lineup construction.

We’ve gotten to the conspiracy theories early this year lol

I enjoyed this post, for what it's worth.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bobby was seeing the ball hte best tonight. Enough spreadsheet managing.

 

[pokey_reese]

Will this be the season that Arroyo is finally healthy, and we find out he sucks?

 

[brandonchristensen]

This team is uninspiring.

 

[Redkluzu]

jesus--brutal!

 

[JCizzle]

Welp.

 

[derekson]

This team is uninspiring.

You'd think another bridge year would at least have some fun young guys to root for, but besides Casas....???

And as I typed it the Rays went bridge

 

[Rovin Romine]

"Captain Stuff"

or

"The Sea Lion."

[shawnrbu]

The Rays have 28 home runs and 19 runs allowed on the season?

 

[ngruz25]

The Kaleb Ort appreciation thread is a work of art.

In other news, Franchy had another homer tonight.

 

[shawnrbu]

99 from Ort.

Yeah I had hopes for a team that was interesting at least.

 

[GPO Man]

I don’t recall the Rays being an offensive juggernaut like this. They are good, but damn this is ridiculous.
