The Rays didn’t get the memo that you have to suck and not care about winning to build confidence down the road. 

Yea but after winning the WS and playing in another one I figured we wouldn’t come out fired up and desperate . Best hope is we hang around and start winning in clumps and pull away by July. Our SP has been great it’s the offense that is fucking terribad right now.

The morning after a shitty lose, sucks 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

I'm too lazy to look, but have we won a game in which neither Alvarez nor Tucker homered? 

[Scraps 13577]

Twins with awkward pregame In Memoriam yesterday where we all stood for 5 mins watching the video board as all the people who have died since last season go by. A lot of it was old players parents, or workers parents. Very weird.

[Scraps 13577]

Here we go

[tx 3 putt 77432]

Lot more fucking around than finding out in that line up 

[tx 3 putt 77432]

Maybe chas steps up

 

[tx 3 putt 77432]

Bregman / pena / maldy are probably wishing we signed profar, so his .100 BA would be the lowest on the team

I don't love Chas in the leadoff spot, but I think Pena wore the Golden Sombrero yesterday. There needs to be consequences for that. 

Despite being legally blind, Maldy gets another start at catcher. Bravo Dusty. Bravo.

Pena is lost at the plate

He may just not be a very good hitter.

[kevwun 15905]

He’s never going to be a good one if he doesn’t learn to lay off low and away sliders.  Gray go him to K on one that was a foot outside yesterday.

[Scraps 13577]

Weather is amazing today. Time to bomb on these fools

[tx 3 putt 77432]

[Scraps 13577]

Also i saw machete using some excuse about the shadows in last innings.....mound and home plate were both in shade for like the last few innings so i dont know what the fuck he is talking about

[billfromlaketravis 11524]

So Stanek probably hates Maldy. Just needs to filter down to the starters to get Brown/Dusty's attention.

[Scraps 13577]

Joe Ryan's song is Greatful Dead....respect

[Scraps 13577]

Hey we hit the ball high wooo

[Scraps 13577]

Damn yall want to hate on Dustys plug and play.....these idiots have Nick Gordon batting 5th

Jesus fucking christ if we lose today

[Scraps 13577]

Abreu with the pitch clock K

[Scraps 13577]

Pena looks like a retard....he may have CTE or something

Drowning in all that Houston poon 

[Scraps 13577]

Nick gordon 1-1.

Fuck me

[Scraps 13577]

Can we even score 3 runs?

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Just now, Scraps said:

Doubtful. Maybe if we had a runner on 2nd to start each inning 

[David Dennison 18947]

Can we even score 3 runs?

We can, but are any of us confident that we will?

Also, it’s probably gonna take more than three.

[Scraps 13577]

I wish Spencer Strider was.pitching for us

[tx 3 putt 77432]

Get the BP up

[Scraps 13577]

How does rag arm Meyers throw someone out....correa you should feel bad

[HtownHorn 14780]

Meyers showing absolutely no baseball IQ swinging away on the 1st pitch he sees after your starter has thrown 50 pitches in the 1st 2 innings.

[tx 3 putt 77432]

Yordan time !

Grand Salami !!!

[WBT 20669]

Hammerin' Yordan!

[billfromlaketravis 11524]

Leadoff and 2 hole should take every pitch with Yordan batting third. 

[Scraps 13577]

That grand slam almost hit me

[HtownHorn 14780]

Give him another extension.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Doubtful. Maybe if we had a runner on 2nd to start each inning 

Heh

[Rimbo 26122]

[kevwun 15905]

Thanks for grooving one to Yordan on the 1st pitch.  That was a good decision.

Blum said it was a good thing it hit the rail.  It might have killed someone.

Maton warming

[billfromlaketravis 11524]

It's Blanco time.

Screw the WBC. Abreu, Garcia pitching like shit. Altuve broken hand.

Drop the hammer on them !

[WBT 20669]

103.5 mph EV for Meyers last inning.  Hmm.

[WBT 20669]

Nice bounceback, struck out the side
