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?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That pitcher has a gigantic ass

[Edgy MD]

Rays uni numbers are pretty much invisible.

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

[metirish]

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

[metirish]

Oh boy, some bad Mets fundies going on

[Frayed Knot]

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

[Frayed Knot]

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

And it does.

[metirish]

Damn

[metirish]

Oh well ,this escalated quickly

[Frayed Knot]

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

[Frayed Knot]

I was able to follow that HR!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Our catching situation isn't good

[ashie62]

Geez, what in the hell happened?

[ashie62]

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

[Frayed Knot]

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

[Edgy MD]

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

[Edgy MD]

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

[Edgy MD]

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.

[Frayed Knot]

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

[Edgy MD]

Fire the pitchers' glove tech!

[Edgy MD]

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.
