Yes, do remember that it is 6:50 first pitch!



And we may be having offensive woes but the Rays leadoff batter has a .279 OBP
and their cleanup hitter is Slugging .220

Only C Ben Rorvedt (62 PA), 3B Isaac Parades, and RF Richie Palacios (87 PA) have an OPS+ over 100
And, actually, so does their #1 listed 'Utility Player' Amed Rosario. But five of their starters are at sub-70

It's 6:50 PM.

Do you know where your children are?

That pitcher has a gigantic ass

Rays uni numbers are pretty much invisible.

Even when they were in the playoffs they were mostly incognito.
Maybe they're trying to stay that way.

What just happened? Apparently a HR

The lead didn't last long ,game tied at 3

Oh boy, some bad Mets fundies going on

This has the potential to get out of hand in a hurry.

And it does.

Damn

Oh well ,this escalated quickly

The hard hit ball ratio in this game through three innings is about 15-1


Actually JD Martinez has two hit into two hard outs so it's more like 15-3

I was able to follow that HR!

Our catching situation isn't good

Geez, what in the hell happened?

I'm waiting to hear the Jose Quintana has come sore and will be evaluated soon

What was that commercial from a while back: 'Not going anywhere for a while?'

Brave move after that rally to stick with Nuñez for another inning.

Man, from the high camera behind home plate, the Rays look like a prison team.

And I'm sorry, it's at least partially the uniform, because all of these guys seem to have big ol' butts.

My wife thinks Bob Mackie had a hand in the design of these unis.

Seems to me that we've messed up more than our share of come-backers so far in this young season.

Fire the pitchers' glove tech!

Danny Young's mechanics are all over the place, but I can't argue with the outcome. His slider really seems effective against righties. I didn't see that his first time out.
