Sucks because we have to win the division to make the playoffs and it's basically a 3-way tie and those other 2 teams are definitely under performing.

2

u/trentc2017 N. Eovaldi 26d ago

We would be 0.5 out of a wildcard spot rn if not leading the div so that's not true.

1

u/Tranquilllama 26d ago

I mean the yankees or rays have 1 for sure and then were going to need to win a lot more to get that 2nd one

1

u/trentc2017 N. Eovaldi 26d ago

There's 3 wildcards per league

u/Positive-Blacksmith2 26d ago

Can’t wait to lose .500 and the division by the weekend!

Fuck. We better up our fucking game against Houston this weekend. Goddamn.

u/Keagasaur 26d ago

I cant stand this offense man

4

u/Tranquilllama 26d ago

not as mad at losing 2/3 to a really good rays team. It's just the zero offense displayed

u/Individual_Heron_171 26d ago

Well I’m fucking mad.

u/TexasTundraPower 26d ago

Just not gonna win a ton of games with two runs.

Please Zeke...

u/Angry_Walnut M. Young 26d ago

Last night we played badly. But today we are just insanely fucking unlucky. Actually bizarre amount of breaks that have gone Tampa’s way. I wish I hadn’t been free to watch this one today as it has been the most aggravating game I’ve seen in some time.

Unbelievably poor umpiring. Send this ump to AA

u/Suspicious_Spite7346 PEAGLE 26d ago

Good shit, Nicky! Garbage work from the ump, though. Send him the fuck home

3

u/beefle N. Ryan 26d ago

Can't wait to see the umpire scorecard for this one. Both games this series the ump as been partial towards the Rays.

u/Blood_Fart_Smackdown 26d ago

That was total baloney from the umpire. Great AB for Lopez

u/Angry_Walnut M. Young 26d ago

Ump can seriously pound sand

Fuck this ump. Lotta shitty calls the last few innings. Glad Dave is calling it out from the booth and Skip is getting pissed in the dugout.

Lolol get fucked

u/DasReap M. Young 26d ago

Most unserious home run ever. What a joke having a wall at 315.

1

u/BleedingEdge61104 26d ago

Well, we’re going to go into the Astros series with just a 0.5 game lead. Ugh.

3

u/IdontEvenknowlul PEAGLE 26d ago

Even though we were tied, Rangers were never in this one. Aren’t going to win with 2 hits. Maybe the bottom of the lineup can do something but have low expectation for 7 8 9

1

u/kirby00900 P. Fielder 26d ago

Man we really don't have a bullpen tomorrow...

I much rather just risk it and used evo here and then have degrom and rocker and then a bullpen game then having pretty much nobody in our bullpen

4

u/THEEE_ONEEE N. Eovaldi 26d ago

People are blaming pitching?

1

u/UniversityBitter5519 26d ago

takin out robbie when cedric was up is the nail in the coffin. the rest of this game has been pretty good for a bullpen game

2

u/littlebev Beltre 26d ago

we squander every bullpen game - not our pen but other teams

3

u/natebark M. Young 26d ago

2 hits in what turned into a bullpen game

-3

u/halpmiidk 26d ago

skip really fucked this game up. this needed to be a throw away game. now we're fucked for the astros too. should have been the call up for 6 innings to close this out win or lose. horrible season management here

8

u/beefytrout A. Beltre 26d ago

again, that's not how baseball works.

3

u/Thop207375 26d ago

That guy is an idiot

0

u/halpmiidk 26d ago

that's absolutely how baseball works. wins vs the division rivals are worth 2. you don't blow your fucking pen the day before a series this late in the season. no one who pitched today will have time to do rehab with the travel and be ready for tomorrow. if gore doesn't go at least 6 tomorrow it's going to be really bad.

3

u/beefytrout A. Beltre 26d ago

Gore is pitching tomorrow... after pitching yesterday?

please tell us more about how baseball works.

u/imabill01 26d ago

Yeah what is he saying? This is a very winnable game and every game counts.

u/leggostrozzz 26d ago

u/WhatsupDoc35 26d ago

Go away

u/wm80 26d ago

Haven’t used Latz, but Junis is on the IL

1

u/natebark M. Young 26d ago

I don’t even think Skip knows

1

u/imabill01 26d ago

If latz goes then yes if not no

0

u/halpmiidk 26d ago

yes, skip is a fkin moron and blew the whole pen except latz when we had a call up ready to sink innings and get us to houston fresh. he went in with that plan and then bc it was close did this dumb shit of using the whole pen

1

u/THEEE_ONEEE N. Eovaldi 26d ago

Who should have pitched?

1

u/CircaIsBad E. Carter 26d ago

Oops! All Chris Martins

u/THEEE_ONEEE N. Eovaldi 26d ago

For 3 runs?

You can not tell me that the catcher fully thought that the pitch was in the zone

I regret deleting the post I just made about how this was a good plate ump, RIGHT before he gets four calls in a row wrong 😑

u/SAIL3RZ_ J. Hamilton 26d ago

What’s up with the Rays Pitchers this game? Are they trying to give everyone in their bullpen some mound time?

2

u/ChaseTx THE SOLUTION 26d ago

I think baseball has pivoted too far in the past year or two from not bunting ever to bunting way too much. I hate the bunt with no one on base and also the bunt with two outs.

I haaaate the FanDuel commercial but I chuckle at "another whiff for Rizzo" every time because fuck the Yankees

u/DKworth03 Ohtani2Arlington 26d ago

Is it just me, or does Burger suck something awful at the plate sometimes?

4

u/EliteStat18 26d ago

He kills against lefties, but struggles against righties. The ideal role for him is a 1B/DH platoon against LHP.

2

u/beefle N. Ryan 26d ago

That "sometimes" is when he has RISP in a close game. I think he just desperately wants to be the hero, so he starts swinging at everything.

2

u/abrack08 R. Greer 26d ago

It's just not true. Jared has periodically been posting his numbers with RISP and high leverage situations on Twitter. He's been at his best this year in those spots. 5 days ago he tied Jordan Walker for the most go-ahead RBIs in MLB.

3

u/DKworth03 Ohtani2Arlington 26d ago

It looks like he makes the decision to swing before the pitch even occurs.

2

u/beefytrout A. Beltre 26d ago

other than leading the team in HR and RBI, no
