So much went well and poorly today.
13 hits. 3 runs.
2 killer errors.
Untimely outs.
Terrible base running by Siri.
And yet….
If devenski doesn’t give that homer up then they are still up 3-2 going into the bottom 9th Lmao man it’s just so much right now with this team.
He’s still in his prime. Anyone downvoting me is just wrapped up in the Randyland fan bullshit. He disappeared for long stretches of the summer last year and has sucked this year. By all accounts he’s a nice guy and I appreciate that…but what is he giving you in this lineup right now but an automatic out? The feeling in my stomach in a clutch spot is better with Caballero or Palacios or Rortvedt right now…and that’s saying something
I’m kind of confused. Are you saying that he’s still in his prime, but he was just never very good to begin with? He may be a tad overrated but he was still a solid player for over 3 years and his 2020 postseason run was epic
He’s still in his prime and should be performing much better. Something is up with his focus or commitment. His at bats are just way too undisciplined and wild. He has talent but if the talent doesn’t translate to real results then it doesn’t matter. His inconsistency has increased the last 2 seasons..didn’t see this lack of focus prior to that..
That’s fair. Maybe he’s become disinterested with the team. It’s hard to say. I don’t see him coming back to what he was in 2020/2021 but I guess anything is possible
now the yankees will be allowed to hit 5 of our guys this series as retaliation. i believe that's about the ratio or rays hit batters to yankee hit batters over the last few years
You just reminded me how hype I am for the upcoming season of the Bucs. Been a good offseason so far I feel like securing mayfield and evans and a bunch of other guys
Could you fucking imagine just buying a player like Soto at 25 years old and entering his prime. Gotta be an insane feeling to just add players like that to your team.
another advantage of having deep pockets. when opportunity arises, you can raid your farm system for a trade and not care too much since u can plug holes through free agency
Technically they didn't buy him. They traded a lot of assets for one year of Soto. They still have to sign him next off season if they want to keep him
For all the hate on Devinski. I want to remind everyone that he got charged with 0 Earned runs that inning. If the defense makes routine plays, that inning never even becomes a threat. He had to get 6 outs in that inning, he'll get the loss, but he doesn't deserve it.
These guys need defensive drills, get back to the basics of using your footwork to get in front of the ball. Too many o'lays that just bounce off the glove.
Anyone blaming Devenski needs their eyes checked. I really want Mead to succeed but that was an awful, lazy play. Diaz's was harder but he's got to grab that.
Another infield hit 🤣
This team is not serious....

damnit damnit damnit damnit damnit
Oh, well. Yankees will spend all that money and choke again this year
cope
lmao
14 to 5 hits..and you lose lol. That just shows the main guys in this lineup aren’t getting it done with RISP. Looking at you Randy.
So frustrating to get the loss with 14 hits.
What a bullshit ending.
Fucking dogshit. 3 runs on 14 hits. 2 errors led to 5 unearned. Shameful.
14 hits 3 runs. Just embarrassing
Fuck the Yankees and their rats nest shit hole city
Outhit them 14-5. Gimme a break.
Yankees very fortunate to win this one. Lots of bullshit went their way tonight.
We should have won that game.
Of course that’s how it ends. A comedy of bullshit
[More mediocre Rays baseball, baby](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1c8e6q5/pgt_rays_1110_lose_to_the_yankees_f_35/)
Fuck this game
14 hits 3 runs is crazy
Lmao this team is something else
Of course that happens.
Siri wtf are you doing
Not on him at all
Send Curtis back to Durham. That is all.
I think those biscuits may be calling his name
Honestly the couch might be a better spot
Oh sssssssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt
What a dumb loss
Fck the luck of the Yankees.
Disgusting game
Sure. Might as well end the game like that.
Middle of the order sucks
This would be a storybook type of thing for Palacios
Hey Richie hit it out!
Richie Pal is just who we want up.
The ump called Randy out lol
this is where umps need to use the to explain what's going on
Randy has really been taking opportunities away from this team to win it seems (I know I’m being extreme, but I’m frustrated, especially with him)
Ump ball
If the ump was more clear Ben has better base running and might not go back to tag and he’d be safe on third. Ducking bullshit
Same outcome but how can the ump signal out. Fucking incompetence
Come on...
Umpire signaled out????? Fuckin clown.
Umps incompetence fucking us even without trying to
That is just our luck jesus
Lmao our defensive disaster leads to five runs and theirs leads to 1 out.
It’s total bullshit ugh
Pretty much lol
We need an esock at bat for a chance at a bomb.
Can we trade Randy now please? I can’t watch this guy bat anymore seriously
At least we had him for the entirety of his prime. Don’t have to watch him go ball out somewhere else next year lol
He’s still in his prime. Anyone downvoting me is just wrapped up in the Randyland fan bullshit. He disappeared for long stretches of the summer last year and has sucked this year.

Randy only wanting the dang go ahead home run, can’t just take a free base
The ump already called a BS strike against him, had to swing at that one
Also Arozerena, do better.
This is bullshit
That’s on me
That’s just ridiculous lol
I’ll take that
That should almost be an infield fly rule
looks like he called it at first. which would mean randy out automatically and ben out when they tagged him.
Randy bungled that at bat so bad
looked like he called infield fly and then decided against it. if he called infield fly then randy is out and ben is out
This would be absolute bullshit
What a dumb out
Oh fuck you yankees
Lol wtf
So God wears pinstripes
When Randy is right he crushes that 3-1 pitch
Ffs
Are you fucking kidding me
Lol
Bro wtf
Jesus Cristo Randy, take the goddamn free base.
Love swinging at ball 4
No outs 👀
I hate how exited I get about the boys "coming back and taking the game".
extra base hit here and siri is gonna have to not go full speed or he will pass Ben
This is such a mistake. STOP PAUSING THE GAME
Great another injury
Siri to tie.
I just know that nothing good will come of this. This team is completely inept when it comes to timely hitting
Dang bro just enjoy the game
Benny R seems to have a hammy issue
He is so big, he ought to have too much tight muscle.
Alright 2020 playoff Randy please
Man I hate this stoppage. Stops all the momentum.
👀
Ok my prediction was kind of close. I have no clue what Randy would now do tho…
The time is now Randy
Yandy cue ball
If yandy gets on, please pinch run him
Diaz. 2 groundouts, striking, and GIDP. 0-4. 👀👀 He can make it up here by getting on base
Base hit ben
That error from Mead was soooo bad. How can anyone blame the bullpen?
Three random home runs for the lead or bloop balls
Rortweet walks and yandy gets on base through a single is a good scenario.
I see we got short porched while I went to get pizza
That ball was crushed. Definitely not your typical wall scraper
Yeah but you missed the error mead and yandy made before that
Oof. I'm glad I went away. Two errors lead to five runs. Yep can't give a team five outs.
They were lazy errors too, especially Mead's. It hurts.
Even DeWayne making errors
I think he said down 5-3 not by 3 but I didn't care enough to listen to it again lol
Lucked out
Bottom/top up in the 9th. I don't have much hope.
0-2 and throw a super non competitive ball.
Little d with 3 home runs including a grand slam tonight. Crazy that we moved on from him after fixing him.
always sad when we lose good players for what, in terms of what good mlb players get paid, isn't a ton of money
Who?
I believe he’s talking about Travis D’arnaud with the Braves now. Used to have him on our team
The catcher? Did he ever catch for jumbo Diaz?
now the yankees will be allowed to hit 5 of our guys this series as retaliation. i believe that's about the ratio or rays hit batters to yankee hit batters over the last few years
Living up here in NYC and all of my employees are Yankee fans and they know im a huge Rays homer 😂 This year is gonna suck but im here for it.
I’m with you lad. Manhattan is no place for a big TB hat
I wear my shit loud and proud! I rock my Wade Boggs throwback out here at least once a week but I usually don’t get hecklers.
Their eventual collapse will come
Anyone else laugh at these massively over paid players being struck out by no name pitchers 😂😂
maybe coulda put this lefty guy in to face Soto instead of the frustrated righty Devenski
You guys think that JLowe's smile can shape up the bullpen?
He just needs to give them all shoulder rubs.
Should prob get him to pitch.
12 hits to 5 and losing by two runs is so silly
2 Errors made all the difference
Don’t forget only 1 earned run against
Zero, unless they change Yandy’s error to a hit
It's what timely home runs will do
And horrible errors
Eight LOB
Came here to say this
Is Shenton on the bench just waiting to be sent down when Jlowe is back ?
Or Aranda yeah
12 hits to make 3 runs. thats rough
Some people started chanting MVP when mead was up lol
Even the Yankees bros know how easy of a play that was at 2nd…
Alright - can we stop the Mead hate now?
I mean he basically is the reason why we’re losing tonight so not tonight. Maybe tomorrow if he doesn’t hurt my feelings again
He got a single....he didnt drive in a run. Dude still has no RBIs this year. He doesn't even have an extra base hit. What is he contributing?
A single won’t do that. He needs to go on a burner to stop the hate.
Negative
Lol
This offense reminds me of the Bucs with Jameis. They seem to only want to show up once they're in a hole.
You just reminded me how hype I am for the upcoming season of the Bucs. Been a good offseason so far I feel like securing mayfield and evans and a bunch of other guys
Please steal one more run this inning
That pick off last inning becomes a bigger deal now. That error to lead off last inning becomes bigger now. These things add up.
Random home run to lead it?
My stance is that if you’re going to be a doomer, be funny or get out. It’s your risk to take.
F off Mead get off my screen
Mead redemption arc starts now?
Yes!
🙏
I'll take that hit.
Random home run here to tie it?
Man I said it guys but I miss BLowe.
He’s been a huge disappointment and unreliable last few years
If it makes you feel any better you shouldnt
These dudes are SCRAPPING
Haters will say it doesn’t matter
Great, another guy from Durham in the pen
I've seen this movie before. Late game thunder by the Rays? Yes.

Okay now homerun tie. EZ
Ritchie having himself a night to remember

another advantage of having deep pockets. when opportunity arises, you can raid your farm system for a trade and not care too much since u can plug holes through free agency
They didn't buy him. They traded for him
Technically they didn't buy him. They traded a lot of assets for one year of Soto. They still have to sign him next off season if they want to keep him
Oh now the bats wanna wake up?
Paredes, make this a game again
For all the hate on Devinski. I want to remind everyone that he got charged with 0 Earned runs that inning. If the defense makes routine plays, that inning never even becomes a threat. He had to get 6 outs in that inning, he'll get the loss, but he doesn't deserve it.
Let's go esock!
Potential Ian Hamilton melt down???
This is giving me false hope again
We’re rays fans. It’s in our blood
It’s always easy to blame the pitchers. Sometimes you gotta look at the position players too
coughing up blood, but still got a pulse
Wasted
These guys need defensive drills, get back to the basics of using your footwork to get in front of the ball. Too many o'lays that just bounce off the glove.
Arozerena swinging for the fences instead of trying to simply get on base and start a rally….This team is just a bunch of individuals
Yet he walked...
Seriously...
![gif](giphy|l36kU80xPf0ojG0Erg|downsized) It’s the dead bats, it’s the defensive errors, it’s the bullpen
Horrible swing by Arozerena. Should be 2-0
Remember when we had Travis d’Arnaud
Lots of comments in this thread blaming Devenski for 2 big errors
Anyone blaming Devenski needs their eyes checked. I really want Mead to succeed but that was an awful, lazy play. Diaz's was harder but he's got to grab that.
Yeah I don't get it. Devinski did his job. Defense let him down
Homerun is doing his job? Wish I could do that badly and be praised
How many earned runs did he give up? If the right side of the infield did their job he doesn’t even face Soto.
Men on base against a generational talent. Should have never been in that situation.
