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

[kcmets]

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.

Even when they were in the playoffs they were mostly incognito.

Maybe they're trying to stay that way.

Later

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.

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.

[Frayed Knot]

Now let's get to work making Danny Young a two game winner (in as many innings).

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Allayous buried Baty. He will be 👍

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Swinging at that first pitch, Zimmo

[ashie62]

They had a shot til the last at bat



Rays unis look like what a Miami valet might wear

Yeah, that surprised me.

But at least he swung at a good first pitch, as opposed to Marte.
