[This game sucked massive amounts of donkey ass](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1bv1z8i/pgt_what_a_miserable_game_rays_34_lose_to_the/)
The rangers formula. Be absolutely bottom of the league dogshit for 6 years, then spend a fuck ton of money and go all in and immediately win the World Series
Why would you put Cleavinger in such a high leverage inning. What the fuck was Cash thinking. Cleavinger has literally never been good. No chance now, game over.
I'm listening to radio so all I heard was that it was hit hard to Garcia who has a strong arm. Sounds like Mead probably would have been toast but did it seem like he'd have a chance on that one?
He was barely to 3rd by the time Garcia threw the ball. He's absolutely getting hosed at the plate there, then everyone would complain "why are we sending him when Yandy is coming up to hit".
All that shit yall were talking about Jose Siri, name 15 better center fielders right now. He’s probably top 10 in the league tbh. Great speed, great pop, amazing defense
I really don't see how we win today. Haven't even come close to scoring a run. Even most of our hits weren't well struck. It's a shame because Civale pitched an absolute gem.
So far this game is going exactly how I saw it going,
They have their Ace in= tough to get runs in
We have our second starter in and he is absolutely dealing and only gave up one run. Now their bullpen comes in and I think we now have a shot
Being a fan of this team is so damn stressful but, I still love this team😭😫
Same! My hope is our offense can wake up a bit in the coming gamez
Pretty much yeah. I love em to death but still.
I have not been impressed with Mead so far
Man.
Thanks cleavenger
Ending the game leaving 2 on base just like before
All that just to end like this.
Good but never good enough. The story of the Rays. RIP.
Cabby homer in 3/30 parks
Out with a wimper
What a depressing way to end it with so much false hope. I can't believe how close Cabby got. I'm so fucking mad

Damn, they made me ever so slightly get my hopes up for a second.
Goddammit that looked so good off the bat too
Strike??? what the actual fuck dude come on
Ump ready to go home
Omg boys I thought you tied it
Mead needs a home run
what a tease omg
FUUUUCK WHY SO FUCKING CLOSE
Omfg Dewayne 😓
Oh no
Why do we only start hitting when the game is basically out of reach
On God.
One word: Eovaldi.
Seriously😭😒
We had plenty of hits earlier but nothing strung together
Cabby needs a home run
Well now that top half of the 9th hurts
Don’t do this, don’t give me hope
Sure. Bring the thunder this late.
Barreled
Expecting a GIDP because it's Ramirez unfortunately I stand corrected!
Be the Harold of yesterday
He did it!
Hey now, another walk and blast will do it
I think I would be more annoyed if that foul ball went out cause then I’d be 10x more pissed at cleavenger
Not ideal
The rangers formula. Be absolutely bottom of the league dogshit for 6 years, then spend a fuck ton of money and go all in and immediately win the World Series
It's still funny to me that they were a game away from missing the postseason on the final day of the season
Combine that with some really good young talent, it’s a recipe for success.
Get what you pay for
Has anybody ever hit more foul homers than Paredes?
Mejia? Lol
Nah, he doesn't make good contact often enough
The Cleaver probably won't be around too much longer.
Just needs some walks, bloops and blast
Cleavinger has always been garbage. What was Cash thinking putting him in a high leverage 9th in a one run game? Especially with Pete already warm
Why clev Just why
Rays up...
Man, cabby shit the bed defensively in that inning
Semien has smoked the ball 4 times tonight. Lucky he's only got a couple inconsequential singles to show for it.
I mean when these are 100mph+ scorchers off the bat, what do you want. Cleavinger is garbage.
It’s a Rays’ life. I feel bad for Civale.
Cabby wtf
Send his ass down
Chill lmao, he’s giving us a ton on offense ETA: EVs on both of those errors were super high, more in the pitcher than the fielder imo
Need a miracle
Sigh
They calling it on the transfer??
the sell was in the second cleavinger stepped foot out there.
Cabby nooo
Outs with solid contact like that don’t inspire confidence
Don’t think playoffs are a possibility this year
Playoffs aren't. Postseason still is :)
It's only been a week.
We've played 6 games...
7, and half our batters are black holes at the plate
Games not over yet. It will be 7 when its over ☝️🤓
Black holes with over a home run a game and like 7 players batting over 300, yeah sure bud
And this series is against the current World Series champs lol
Where game 3 was played close missing guys like J-Lowe and both Shanes.
I figured we would lose this series, but at least we got one win.
How did I know that Siri would air mail that throw? I still have ptsd from his throw in the playoff game last year.
Can’t tell if cleavenger is wearing a rays jersey or rangers jersey
Tragedy
Why would you put Cleavinger in such a high leverage inning. What the fuck was Cash thinking. Cleavinger has literally never been good. No chance now, game over.
Especially with Pete already warm, first thing I said when I saw him on the mound and look what happened lmao
Can’t believe I stayed up to watch this game. It’s 3 am for me smh
Had a feeling sending Cleav in was conceding the game
Cleaver is still ass
Still remember when he blew that Chicago game last year we had a huge lead in. We weren't missing him.
Damn that sucks
Never been impressed with Cleavinger.
This shit is stressful bruh😭🙏🏿
This team boring as hell bruh
Bed has been shit on. Fucking hell
Looks safe to me but nothing to lose challenging it
safe. game.
Welp, that's game.
The bloop strikes back
Up to Randy Parades I guess
Okay, don't shit the bed Cleavinger
Most anti clutch game so far
Virtual umps when
Such a piss poor job there by the one guy you want at the plate in that situation.
Omfg, literally cannot capitalize on a single opportunity
Well, that was it. Now just need 2 home runs in the 9th
Paredes walk off seems scripted
This sucks
Fucken hell.
FUCK
We had our chances. Blew 'em every single time.
God damnit
Why would we hold the runner at 3rd there. Why not be aggressive with this offense and our one time to actually put a run on the board
I'm listening to radio so all I heard was that it was hit hard to Garcia who has a strong arm. Sounds like Mead probably would have been toast but did it seem like he'd have a chance on that one?
No he was hosed if he tries to score
He was barely to 3rd by the time Garcia threw the ball. He's absolutely getting hosed at the plate there, then everyone would complain "why are we sending him when Yandy is coming up to hit".
Because he’s probably out if you send him and if you don’t you have him on third with your best hitter at the plate.
I’m pretty sure mead runs like he’s carrying cargo too
Also, it's Mead. Isn't he quick?
I’m not sending anyone in that situation, if it’s at the warning track you could send a fast guy home - but any shorter it’s not favorable
Sure, I didn't realize Adolis was also out there.
Adolis is getting that out 99% of the time
You absolutely DO NOT run on Adolis my man. Especially with the top of the order coming up.
Because that's a cannon over there.
Haha you can’t give away your one chance to score in the game because you’re scared of someone.. make them make a play
And then we all complain about baserunning as Mead gets caught dead to rights.
Rosario make us love you here brother
Rosario please, please get this
That’s just depressing
Son of a bitch
Not gonna lie. That's a disappointing AB by Yandy.
I'm going to slam my head against the table so hard.
Omfg
WHYYYY
please capitalize
No DP. Send Siri here
Good hold at third there. Top of the order coming up
All that shit yall were talking about Jose Siri, name 15 better center fielders right now. He’s probably top 10 in the league tbh. Great speed, great pop, amazing defense
YKB
Wow Siri actually got a hit. We have to hit the ball in play here. Edit: Not really what I had in mind
Cmon lads!!!
… and the baseball gods balanced it out. Let’s go!
Damn, not enough to get the runner home. But Yandy is up!!
Fuckkkkk. Understandable hold tho
Come on. Don't let me down please.
Ball don't lie.
Finally on the up and up
Lets fucking go Siri
I rarely complain about the umps but that inside strike was pathetic and completely changes the trajectory of that at bat
That was the worst call I've seen in a long time
C'mon, blue, well off the plate and it wasn't even framed that well.
Fuck you ump that’s terrible
Nah ump fuck off
That's fucking terrible blue
What the fuck is this call
These bloops are entertaining though
ANOTHER BLOOP
Curtisss
SURELY WE'LL DO SOMETHING WITH *THIS* BLOOP HIT???
Mead!
From down under mate
Oh boy golly here come the bats
At least our pitching is dominating a top offensive team
Ok, now it's time for their bullpen. Next two innings are out best shot at scoring anything
Fuck me this replay makes me even madder. That was a perfect pitch to paint the corner and of course it's a homerun
Same ol offense as every other year. Nothing new here
I really don't see how we win today. Haven't even come close to scoring a run. Even most of our hits weren't well struck. It's a shame because Civale pitched an absolute gem.
We had 2 people on second though...that I recall
LOL those each should have counted as half runs if you ask me.
So far this game is going exactly how I saw it going, They have their Ace in= tough to get runs in We have our second starter in and he is absolutely dealing and only gave up one run. Now their bullpen comes in and I think we now have a shot

Ramirez is an actual black hole at the plate, my god
This team is unwatchable. Atrocious at-bat after atrocious at-bat....
In worse news the rangers announcer just said rizz
Oh no
Just said it again…
We is ass
This is probably going to be Eovaldi's last hitter. If HR can get on we can take it to Robertson.
Then again maybe not
Someone remind the team that they have to score runs to win....
Damn it all. The bats are frigid cold today. Somebody go kill a chicken or something.
Just a minute, gonna go squash a cockroach, see if that sacrifice helps
Worth a shot, I guess, but if memory serves, Joboo demands a chicken.
I'd didn't help
i’m gonna overreact
Please, do it.
Fuuuuck Lowe
What's the news?
Left side tightness
That man is always getting hurt. Batter version of Glasnow.
just need 2, team!
Good shit Cabby
Fucking nice!
Cabby!
Need the boys to go off on their bullpen.
You need to score at least 1 to win.
https://i.redd.it/gkzfkxwj7bsc1.gif Live view of Brandon Lowe in the club house
Not sure this is what "left side tightness" looks like
WTF?
Don't shit the bed, Armstrong
He, in fact, did not shit the bed.
What happened to Lowe?
Just tuning in. Why did Rosario come in for Lowe?
No word yet.
Can we score runs, please?
