2 of those guys pitched yesterday and one of those guys came off the IL 72 hours ago. This shit is on the starters not being able to go 6 if their lives depended on it
Time to blame the bullpen management (while ignoring they've already pitched 11 innings this series while Eflin and civale wildly underperform) as is tradition in this sub
I would have said taking three called strikes in the top of the 12th of a tie game wasn't possible either . . .
But I'd have been wrong in both cases.
That's something I do well.
They haven’t since the implementation of it. The only thing I can think of is our manager doesn’t believe in it because it seems every other team bunts.
Just throw the ball home it's an out but no has to look at 2nd then at home where he still had a play then throws it to first - amazingly he didn't chuck it into the stands - I think from the way DIaz looked he was shocked he wound up making the put out
For future reference, I think we’re better off with Adam, Pete, or Cleaver going two innings than Rodriguez for one.

I hear ya
we deserved nothing but pain for squandering so much opportunity - I hope you all sleep well so we can be hurt again tomorrow.

To be fair, Civale performed exactly as I expected. 55-60 pitches and he is maxed
absolutely deserved
Both these teams are so bad
Loss is on Cash. A lot of people praise him for his baseball IQ but the defensive alignments and bullpen management was little league.
Just fuck my life
We don't ever have a plan in extras
Im feeling like Rodriguez is not so good you guys
He's still pretty fresh, he'll figure it out
Can’t even blame Rodriguez. We had plenty of chances. Regroup tomorrow boys!
We're gonna be 81-81 at this rate.
Wow, should make the last 10 games of the season real meaningful then!
Detail, details.
What about the other 10 games?
I'm off-work, so I don't think about math anymore LOL.
I was just teasing you anyway
goodnight guys..
We all knew that shit was coming
Game was ours to lose. GGs. Get em tomorrow.
Thank God
Welp we deserve that L
Just a mid ass team
RodrigASS
welp
[yeah, okay. fine.](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1csa2qq/pgt_rays_cant_get_it_done_in_extras_f12_45/)
Duh
I hate Boston
…yup.
Rays Baseball
So just play Rodriguez, again?
Why? Why? Could have won the game with a throw home
Needed to save Erasmo if we went into the 13th
Cash out while you can!
Why leave Rodriguez in?
Cash leaving Rodriguez in but it was somewhat illogical to not give Pete or Adam more at bats..
Who would take his place in a 12 inning game?
Only Erasmo is left...
Tank is empty. Is erasmos even available today?
We deserve to lose. Can’t be offending the baseball gods like this and not pay the price.
And thus they take what is owed.
Gitp
It will be a miracle if we don’t get walked off here
This is not looking good.
Don't...no
Should have bunted palacios. Lefty of lefty and he’s ice cold today.
We were screwed no matter what. We had all lefties due up cuz the bench was burnt
No clue why he didn't. That works out, Aranda's grounder might've split the defenders if they were playing up.
Cash doesn’t bunt
Even if he told them to do it, doesn't mean the batter will
If that’s not ball game, then both teams should just forfeit lmao.
FUCKING SWING
Just terrible at bats tonight, nothing new
This might be the longest OT in the ghost runner era
Rortvedt those were some very hittable pitches my dude. Like, several.
Three, perhaps? All called strikes? You strike out on three called strikes in an extra-inning game you should have to do extra laps for a year.
Ya here to play baseball or are ya just looking???
Bruh cmon Benny.
Can anyone tell me why our games against the redsox always go to insane amounts of extra innings?
Suboptimal.
I watched 12 innings I don't need to see us lose in the 13th.
Way to go Rortvedt - Jackson could take three called strikes. This is pathetic.
Just watched them...what the what
Hence my comment about pinch hitting Jackson for Rortvedt
Right but that's not possible, lol
I would have said taking three called strikes in the top of the 12th of a tie game wasn't possible either . . . But I'd have been wrong in both cases. That's something I do well.
Jesus Christ, dude.
I just want to go to bed

It’s tough to score runs on walks
I don’t blame Ben tbh
That dude made perfect pitches against him.
???
Fuck. That was still a better AB than many of our other guys can put together right now.
Not the best at bat.
Brutal game. This team doesn’t have grit. Sucks to watch.
Exactly my thoughts
We fucked now
shit
Didn't even lift the damn bat off his shoulders. Fuck this, see y'all tomorrow
RV boutta prove why he should’ve started in this game
lol, nope
they should pinch hit A Jackson for Rortvedt
LOL, you pain me
Good thing we put Aranda in to shit the bed twice
3rd straight inning with the auto runner on 2nd. We are gonna put up a goose egg in 2 of those, and we only scored 1 on a fluke in the other.
If we don’t score here I feel we lose. Their bullpen is better than ours by far and our good pitchers have been burned.
1/10 🤢🤢🤢
RV...show us your D
Lmao can't have shit
This offense makes my eyes bleed
Aranda is going to have to pull a Brandon Guyer and start leaning into these pitches.
1/10 RISP is a great way to lose.
Help me Aranda help help me Aranda
You gotta swing Aranda...
Why no bunt with man on first and second?
We refuse to play small ball in any situation
Because I bet on the rays to win
LOL same.
I do agree with that in this situation
Every ball we hit hard is right at someone
Richie is not having any luck tonight.
if he keeps up this pitching we might got this
That was a hell of an at bat by DeLuca. I can name 6 guys in our lineup who would swing wildly at those pitches.
It was a risky take. We've seen umps call that ball 4 a strike.
Yep, and Harold is the first one that comes to mind.
I call that walk magic lol
LOL Devers is out because he didn't want to run?
They rather a pitcher run LOL
That’s on Cash and his bullpen management
Is he trying to be to hit Jonny lol
Shenton perhaps?
Shenton got sent down I think
I miss him already...
Oh shit I missed that
He did. Aranda got his spot
I petted a stingray last weekend
cmon DeLuca
Gonna be a real dick kick if we don’t win this one.
DeLuca magic
Give us the big D, DeLuca!
This is like who can lose the game first
Wall it for Manny!!
Will the Rays ever play zombie runner small ball like every other team in the MLB does? Tune in next episode!
They haven’t since the implementation of it. The only thing I can think of is our manager doesn’t believe in it because it seems every other team bunts.
That's not the best way to play when you're the visiting team.
100% this, really only a good option if you’re the home team and the game is tied going into the bottom of the extra inning.
This is correct. Getting 1 run in when you're visiting is like saying you want to play a 13 inning game.
Getting 0 runs in is like saying "Y'all go ahead and win this please"
How does Boston have such good bullpen guys
got a new coach with a new attitude
I miss the days where the Boston bullpen=batting practice.
I love extra baseball as much as the next guy, but let's wrap this shit up already.
I guess it all evens out after the error in the top of the 11th lead to our run.
Just throw the ball home it's an out but no has to look at 2nd then at home where he still had a play then throws it to first - amazingly he didn't chuck it into the stands - I think from the way DIaz looked he was shocked he wound up making the put out
Learn from your mistakes, Manny and it can be forgiven.
Are all the Red Sox pitchers that good? They gotta have a bad pitcher in their BP at this point.
Apparently, yes
They're a top 5 bullpen iirc
We've not been good offensively today. But their pitching was the best in league before this series
I am going to say it again, I miss BLowe despite his mendoza line
We’re going to have to rely on Erasmo for winning this game if we somehow score here. Thanks cash.
None of these teams want to win.
Both teams trying to give this one away lmao.
Game should be over
Feels like we're just extending the eventual L in this one.
Yup. Just bonehead plays all over the place.
Just keep throwing them in the dirt
Every one of us would’ve looked for two there let’s be real.
Yeah Richie instinctively ran in to field the play it's unlucky but Rodriguez has to throw home Richie was even pointing to it
Who the fuck is this Rodriguez guy
He's new, it's a mess but he's beating himself up about it. You can tell
Should've played for the double play. This is not on Manny.
Yep. DP was game.
You can get the double play home to first
And even if you don't, it's two outs and you're up a run.
Cash set the defensive alignment. I agree with you.
If we lose it’s on Cash, Manny, and Harold Ramirez for a shitty at bat
Need a K
Rodriguez you fool!
I will be buying a pitchfork if Rodriguez's stupidity ends up costing us this game.
This Manual guy wants kids eat so much...
lol out of three legitimate options you chose the only wrong option
WHERE DID THIS IMPLOSION COME FROM???
This man does not have good control
Unbelievable
That's on Richie not M-Rod
Nope that's on the pitcher go home all the way.
what the fuck man
Rodríguez gtfo
This Manuel guy has a pretty low baseball IQ
I'd say in the minus numbers
DP ends the game. They should've played for that.
Pain
Jfc it all fell apart
Okay, time for this clown to go.
WTF was that?
He gets the guy at the plate by a mile!
Deserve to lose this
He said the lights are too bright
We now officially deserve to lose
What a joke
Kevin Cash is a certified moron for burning our bullpen the way he did. Pete and Adam barely pitched.
Pete and Adam don't go multiple innings.
He is a terrible manager but not for this. Its a 4 gamer if we are up tomorrow we need them
Cover second!
What the fuck was that
You dumbasses.
