Are we all just going to ignore the fact that the Rays are 9-0? If they aren’t the odds on WS favorite right now they should be.

It's really nice to win 9 in row, but they've played Detroit, Washington, and Oakland.  If you're looking for the easiest way to pull off 9 in a row, TB found it.

9 > 8. QED.

[Shoxthemonkey 1981]

The last team to start 9-0 was the 2003 Royals and we all know how that turned out. Slow your roll a bit.

O’s break out their Home Run Bong …

10-0 now. Guess you’ll need to find a new comparison that has no bearing on how good this team is.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Mets with a bunt base hit that hugged the 3B line all the way and a tapper that was almost exactly the same a couple of batters later.

O’s 5-A’s 1

If you want to crown them, then crown their ass.

Astros are ass my dude. Really thought we were inferior to them coming into the year but that clearly isn’t the case now. Rays have me worried bigly, which I wasn’t expecting. I hope they collapse but they look like a machine so far.

Keeping hoping this every season and they will keep showing up in the Astros League Championship Series again 

Pretty sure you said the same dumb shit last season when the Angels were leading the AL West towards the end of April.

Ha. You know this years team is different and you guys fucked yourselves in the off-season. It’s not the hate thread so I’ll just leave it at that I guess.

We'll see

[Vic Mackey 47038]

@Helobious I'm surprised y'all don't make the bat boy cut his hair lol

[Helobious 9453]

Yeah that hippie shit is pretty unacceptable. We have a standard of appearance and that isn’t it.

[Helobious 9453]

Actually the home team provides clubhouse staff, so he’s probably just your typical Ohio trash and doesn’t work for the Yankees.

Speaking of ass. How’s that next Yankee superstar doing?  The shortstop who you claimed to be a combination of Derek Jeter and Ricky Henderson with the current slash of .129/.250/.194

21 year old rookie is adjusting to big league pitching, earth shattering news. He also has 3 steals but yeah let’s just ignore that. And you better get real familiar with who Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones are. They got next.

Tell that to 20 year old Jordan Walker. And do you know who leads the league with 6 steals?  Your good buddy, Myles Straw

Edited April 11, 2023 by TonyTexas

3 WHOLE STEALS

On notice

Walker is a freak of nature, unfair comparison. And yeah I’m glad Straw is fast. Now I know he’d run away if I ever stepped to him. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

Tim Anderson out 2-4 weeks with a knee sprain, Elvis gets to fake SS again. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

5-0 Tampa after 5, sheesh. 

[huge 3793]

Does Boston have a pulse? They might end up as bad as the other 3 Rays opponents.

Still. 11-0 is 11-0 and next to impossible to do.

This is not the typical TB team, scratching out wins with pitching. They are absolutely mashing. 28 HR in the first 11 games. 

[huge 3793]

They could t even cover the alternate -3.5 run line last night.

Sad!

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Mountcastle with 2 HRs and 9 rbis today. That’s pretty good.

… and the A’s (what seemed to be) rightfully gave Rutschman a free pass in front of him to load the bases with two outs.  Ooops …

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

O’s 12 - A’s 8

[Vic Mackey 47038]

Yikes

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

One way to lose. 

 

[Gil Bang 25957]

Shohei doesn't look his best but he's only given up 1 hit through 5. 

[Gil Bang 25957]

Shohei through 7, allowed 1 hit.  Isn't blowing anybody away the way we've seen him do, but he's getting it done.

Angels up 2-0.

How was he not getting down towards the ground? Geez. But so many of these baseball umps are out of shape and old so I'm sure he couldn't even do that if he wanted to.

[Helobious 9453]

Head on a swivel, son. That was dope, allowed an extra run to score.
