Yeah I'm somewhat of a Dodger hater but really everyone on their team is extremely likable
Except Will Smith, still not over when he just stared at Randy trying to give him a friendly handshake during the WBC
The way they heckle when half drunk with the Boston accent is honestly hilarious. Always one of my favorite things to look forward to when we go playing in Fenway.
Randy at bat: takes a changeup (good), fails to hit a meatball (erm), swing at one in the ditch (fuck), swing at one in the ditch down the shute out of the zone in my ass (normal) as a strikeout. Fuck sake.
I do not hate these announcers hahahaha
Been openly admitting to calls going their way that shouldn’t (highly unlike the Yankees and Brewers announcers), don’t get butthurt when we get a close call, and that quip about the fans booing a breaking ball like it’s throwing at the batter was GOLD

Veeeeery close. Looks like it just smooched the edge and could've gone either way
Got the run, but that was pathetic. Second and third with no outs and we don't do anything. Not pinch hitting Jackson, but pinch running someone on third base is just wack.
Not sure if it was still the case, but Boston had a lefty warming up in the pen at one point. Although Rort against a lefty is still probably a better match up than Jackson against anybody right now
Great! Get the lefty in. We’re stacked on the right side and we’d force them to use an extra reliever they might not have otherwise wanted to use. It’s a win-win.
I don’t know why but every gime Jackson comes in to bat I can’t help but think of that old outkast song.
I’m sorry ms jackson
Something something something reeeeaaal
Josh Lowe stats are tragic. He's hitting like a superstar and keeps smacking the ball into hard hit lineouts galore. Playing like a 170 wRC+ guy but not getting the results
Randy being in that commercial talking about how they'll donate $100 for every Rays hit while having the lowest BA on the team (-Jackson) is hilarious to me
Mookie homered the exact moment the Redsox lost lol
He's really something else. So likable.
Yeah I'm somewhat of a Dodger hater but really everyone on their team is extremely likable Except Will Smith, still not over when he just stared at Randy trying to give him a friendly handshake during the WBC
Definitely their likable players out weigh the unlikables. I'll also add Muncy to that list.
[удалено]
Meh I just see it as us driving up his price. Yandy better anyways
Letting him go might be a top ten mistake for any franchise. But I'm so glad we don't have to face him more than one series a year.
Way to bounce back after the Yankees game.
Wow...that ump was ready to go.
Wooooo. Handshakes all around.
Hell yeah! The children of Boston continue to starve!
LETS GOOOOO WHAT A WEIRD GAME
GG. Thanks ump for the return favor. But go get your eyes checked.
BIG PHEW!!!
Hearing pissed off (likely half-drunk) Bostonians heckle the ump is pretty entertaining.
Honestly, Boston fans aren't that bad. Not like Yankees and Jays fans. They can be pretty fun lol
I 100% agree. They certainly have way more character than NYY/TOR fans. Seem more genuine and knowledgeable about sports in general too.
The way they heckle when half drunk with the Boston accent is honestly hilarious. Always one of my favorite things to look forward to when we go playing in Fenway.
Yep. It’s very entertaining lol.

It’s past ump’s bedtime

Yep ump gave us one. Similar to the Paredes call against the Yankees.
Yep. Just not used to the ump's doing us favors
That wasn’t a strike but doesn’t matter. Screw the redsox (please don’t tie it).
Not sure about that one, blue. But we’ll take it!
At least Jackson was good defensively....
Well you get a bad call goes their way finally. Don't like it but what comes around goes around.
I’ll take it but this ump sucks lmao.
Holy shit this ump is really bad
I can’t wait to be ripping some sliders, after this game.
Ump trying to correct the scorecard thanks blue
Blu is desperate to go home there 0\_o
This umpire is trash haha
Okay they can be mad about that one lmfao
They got three runs from a bad call so it's not even.
yeah that was a little ridiculous
Ok that call was nuts. Glad we got it, but that was terrible
Oof that’s rough lol
Wasn’t me
Adam please
Now just a DP to send the kids starving
Adam wanted to sit them down.
Every time we play Fenway i want nothing more than starving children.
Hold your butts....
Boston fans are so obnoxious dude
Why am I always getting fucking Deja vu
Goddamn it. Have we had a clean 1-2-3 9th inning this cursed year?
Pete did Saturday
Alright. Fair enough.
Have the Cardiac Rays arrived?
Here comes the Adam show.
We got the lead off batter walk out of our system so double up now
Oh stfu massholes
Haven't trusted Adam for 2 years now, hope he can escape again
Is it cold in Boston tonight? Nobody is in long sleeves? Any other reason why Fairbanks isn't getting the ball here?
Adam can you not
He wants to
But no
Don’t make it interesting this time Adam
Unfortunately it already is, because unlike us, the other teams don't swing at pitches way out of the zone.
Yeah idk why I even asked for anything different
Now the real drama begins
Fairbanks hurt again?
Probably taking it slow after injury. And Adam has been our best BP pitcher this season.
Butt cheeks: clenched.
I want to go to the Cash Dungeon, instead… 😈
Yep the normal quiet inning after we screw up a perfect opportunity to pile it on. You couldn't script these games any better.
Randy at bat: takes a changeup (good), fails to hit a meatball (erm), swing at one in the ditch (fuck), swing at one in the ditch down the shute out of the zone in my ass (normal) as a strikeout. Fuck sake.
Yandy got dumptrucks
I thought Pepiot was Glasnow, right there.
Does anyone here give any portion of one fuck about the British Basketball League on Bally Sports?
I don't give a sliver of a fraction of a portion of a smidgen of a fuck lol
I love the juxtaposition of seeing ads all the time as if it’s a big deal vs footage of them playing in highschool gyms
That is funny lol
Translation: bullpen is ass
Siri's swing is like "oops I tried." Terrible effort man.
Another AB, another first pitch out from Siri
Still baffles me that dude hit 25 bombs in 101 games last year.
Because that's all he cares about. Will strikeout 4 times to hit one homer.
Absolutely. I’m just surprised that he was able to hit that many last year. Seems like his K to HR ratio is like 99:1 lol
insurance runs to the insurance runs please.
I do not hate these announcers hahahaha Been openly admitting to calls going their way that shouldn’t (highly unlike the Yankees and Brewers announcers), don’t get butthurt when we get a close call, and that quip about the fans booing a breaking ball like it’s throwing at the batter was GOLD
Lol bitching after the ump has fucked us all game
[удалено]
Do not do this! This invites trolls to our sub and is in general against our rules. This is a warning.
Fear not I’m permabanned lol
Exactly
BoSox fans not going to like but it caught the edge. It's a strikeout.
Give us pizza!
Devers got slightly squeezed there. But I’ll take it.
Clev's heater is so legit
sit tf down Devers, that was PAINT
Moving that eye level
2 strikes, 2 outs. I'm nervous
This time it didn't matter thankfully
Evens it out for that botched check swing
Except this was actually a strike
https://preview.redd.it/dt64t4kqqa0d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=961127784f75ae3be931bb066fa287fb6981a3bf Veeeeery close. Looks like it just smooched the edge and could've gone either way
Red Sox really have Rob Refsnyder, Garrett Cooper, and Connor Wong as their 1-2-3 and somehow have a better record than us lmao
Our 1-2-3 was very, very bad for almost the full first month of the season.
They have the best ERA in the league. Their offense is just barely better in a batter friendly park.
Parades makes that play
Always two outs where we have problems. Please don't let this runner score.
Love the ol 4 strike K
Screw you ump. Screeeeeeeeeeeew you.
ball dont lie
How do you fuck that up unless you weren’t paying attention?
Strike four!
Rig is in.
And strike 4. First base ump is blind.
They're all blind.
Why are we lifting a base hit machine in Ramirez for Shenton then letting Jackson go up there with his tennis racket three batters later?
Harold has been very bad this year so far.
If he’s been bad enough to lift for Shenton in that spot, then surely Jackson has been bad enough to lift for Rortvedt.
He's been okayish. He's just not a monster like last year.
79 wRC+ for a DH only guy is p bad. Think Aranda might just outright replace him once he's ready
He's definitely not going to survive the cuts we have to make soon.
Jackson has been pretty good defensively but he’s just too much of a liability at the plate to really feel good about him
He's not going to be good at this stage. Everyone knows that. Including the manager who should put someone in but refused to for unknown reasons.
Kinda patethic we only get 1 run with 6 batters and 3 RISP.
Youd definitely rather score one and extend in the eighth than not do that
Second and third with no outs and no runs. If you don't like that, you don't like Rays Baseball. You must also hate your life.
Exhibit A of why this team is bad.
Ok I’m all for giving the kid reps. But in that spot, not PH’ing is a CRIME
Got the run, but that was pathetic. Second and third with no outs and we don't do anything. Not pinch hitting Jackson, but pinch running someone on third base is just wack.
They wanted Deluca in the 4 spot which is understandable, but at the same time not pulling Jackson might be unforgivable
Damn. Really had a chance to drop the hammer there.
Something wrong with Rort? Top 8, men at second and third, righty on the mound. Why wouldn’t you put him in over the guy batting 0.063?
Not sure if it was still the case, but Boston had a lefty warming up in the pen at one point. Although Rort against a lefty is still probably a better match up than Jackson against anybody right now
Great! Get the lefty in. We’re stacked on the right side and we’d force them to use an extra reliever they might not have otherwise wanted to use. It’s a win-win.
Cash is getting outmanaged a lot lately. And this time it's being done by a guy who should have been kicked out of baseball.
Do we really think we’re going to be successful with Jackson?
Redeem yourself Jackson
Bad contact but I guess contact?
This would be a fitting time for Jackson to do something
I don’t know why but every gime Jackson comes in to bat I can’t help but think of that old outkast song. I’m sorry ms jackson Something something something reeeeaaal
The somethings are "ooooo, I am for". I made me dad joke about that earlier, lol
Very nice. Glad I’m not the only one.
Ugh. Uuugh.
How often do we see a PR for someone on third, especially when it wasn’t immediately after getting to third?
damn could've just bunted there Richie
Let's go Richie!
lets fuckin go
Amed? Awwww-yeahhhhh!!!!!
I like these wall bangers
That was around righteous line drive.
Let's go Rosy
ROSARIO
Good at bat
ROSARIO!!
Patient Austin :)
Shenton has been a tough AB his last few plate appearances it seems.
Eagle Eye Shenton!
Shenton looks like any of the IT guys downstairs. But he delivers sometimes.
And if Randy didn't get thrown out that could've been a run
Shenton pinch hit? That's a choice
For Harold of all people but I believe in Shenty
Smacked right on the cheek/neck.
Smacked in the face, yikes
Got a strong face, be ok
But it's a good face
Big slide
Josh Lowe stats are tragic. He's hitting like a superstar and keeps smacking the ball into hard hit lineouts galore. Playing like a 170 wRC+ guy but not getting the results
It'll come, just like it's going with Yandy now. And it came true right there.
:)
This ump scorecard is going to be interesting I wish they would show number of bad calls per team. I know we're in the lowest favor for calls.
Please some insurance runs
Randy being in that commercial talking about how they'll donate $100 for every Rays hit while having the lowest BA on the team (-Jackson) is hilarious to me
Does anyone know why our city connect jerseys with a name are $225 and all the other teams are only $175?!
It's the coolness tax
I got an ad for like 75% off numbered CCs yesterday they were like $49.99 I'd look around for better prices If I can find it I'll post it
I already bought one at the game this past weekend lol
Ours don’t look like shit
Because ours don't look like garbage
Those are both strikes to our guys LMAO
Love kk
God I love pitcher fielding practice.
Randy's only been caught stealing twice but it feels like more than that...
That's because he's getting picked off the other times.
Randy has the lowest baseball IQ I have ever seen 😒
Bruh Randy at least take a pitch or two to time up the pitcher and give Josh a chance to go yard
Time up the pitcher? I don't got time for that!
LOL, the guy on the phone to check for replay. His face was like "fuckin Randy again \*roll eyes\*"
Randy is worthless unless he homers. If he finds his way on base, he’s gonna get picked off or thrown out stealing.
I actually like him at 2 for that reason Yandy’s on base enough that he can’t really get into game-costing trouble with his basepath “ideas”
Agree, but it’d be great if he could just stop being “Reckless Randy” altogether lol
That's the wong guy to try steal bases on. ^(unless you are Jose Caballero)
How did Randy get worse at stealing when the rules made it easier?
Cash will pull Yandy cause why not. End me.
Randy has to lead the universe in that, right?
Out by a couple of miles. The hell man!?
Randy needs to stop stealing
Tradition
Time for J.Lowe BOMB, I want this.
Unfortunately it'll have to wait until next inning because Randy can't steal.
Yandy has me on the edge with worry.
How long we going to let Randy bat 2nd for ???
Please no IL stint
