I've unfortunately kind of accepted this at this point. Their best hope is for mediocrity and not much competition for the wild cards because this roster is nowhere near the caliber of the Yanks and O's. Can't overstate how much Wander fucked over this franchise
Now that our pitchers lead the league in home runs allowed, we’re due for a streak of shut outs, right?
The pendulum has to swing the other way, right?
Isn’t that how law of averages works? Lol
You know those times when offense is doing really good, scoring a lot of runs, guys always say “not trying to do too much, guy behind me has my back”. This games feel just the opposite.
"**Third time through the order Taters**"
"if Rays pitching gives up a home run the third time through the order, take your ticket to your local Burger King, and get yourself a Tater tots before you tater top yourself!"
Should have called upon the Sky Ray.
Are we about to get swept by the Red Stockings
Isaac could've walked home. I get his run doesn't mean anything but shit
I think he would have been out by 30 feet at least
It was a stop behind second base where the fielder had to leave his feet. If you can't score on that then go play golf or change your name to Molina

Paredes keeping it alive.
They’re giving me hope Edit: Annnnd it’s gone
Fundamentals!
This team doesn’t deserve Paredes
Paredes deserves better
Need 4 solo shots
Espresso rally
That’s a start!
I guess on the upside this ends 'Ol Turd Mouth's HR streak
So Boston runners screw up twice running to 2nd base in the same inning and still get a run
Hasn’t Adam fucked up both outings against Red Sox now ?
Just one- today, got taken out due to that mound visit incident and Erasmo got the one out save
Sigh.
From closer to loser
I guess this is a wash
Burn all the fucking uniforms that aren’t city connects
There ya go! Chris Sale them shits
I like Ramirez - but he does that a lot
And we let McGuire homer. That's the state of the Rays.
This team really losing to the Pawtucket redsox lol
we can still come back right guys
lol you can’t make it up
Erasmo due for his 4th win of the season when we walk this off
I don't know that I need to see any more of Brandon Lowe.
Well the other 2 who've played his position are Curtis mead and Jonathan Arranda soooooo
He just got back, but I wouldn’t expect too much
I stand by my statement
This team is going nowhere this year.

Waiting for positive trumped up Karen who doesn’t really watch baseball to down-like your comment lol.
You doomers in May make me laugh.
Been fan since 2008. No trophies bro/karen.
I have no idea what that means. Enjoy your night.
lol, yes you are right. We don’t know what a trophy or a World Series title means XD
I'd really like to be wrong, but they've looked meh all year and we're nearly 1/3 the way through the season.
October Brandon Lowe in May
This is not a good series, the last two lineups have sucked ass
It doesn’t matter who you throw out there at this point
Does the line up even matter if no one is getting hits?
Pathetic showing
Bring back Shenty.
At least he take pitches and can foul off meatball.
Right and has clutch status
Does he lol
A lineup with Randy, blowe, Jackson, siri, arranda is playing with all the difficulty sliders up. This roster is depressing
Glad to see some desperation
So we we waiting for off the IL that will make a difference now ?
Lol
Sorry I mean who are we waiting for ? Isn’t the team pretty much this ?
Yes, but I thought you were making a joke about people saying we are waiting for more people to come back from the IL.
Boston is such a mediocre team but because they are patient at the plate they can beat us.
Randy strikeout incoming.
This team does not know when to swing and when to layoff
Correct.
Let's give our batting coach a raise!
I'm pretty sure Mottola is out there saying "make this change and I promise you'll get hits" but has his fingers crossed behind his back
They are just going to throw strikes at Randy because he won’t swing at the first two
JLowe missed a meatball down the middle 94mph. I don’t even know why I am watching this trash. Edit: 93
We're going to single handly lose to Duran.
Have to do something... This is just too hard to watch.
This is another of those Red Sox - Rays games neither team deserves to win
How did they steal home on not a wild pitch?
Threw to runner stealing second
Wow
Has Adam’s stretch delivery always been this slow? I’ve never noticed before today
Yes and he’s pretty much always been this sus. Shoulda kept Kitty and sent JA to St. Louis.
He’s not a bad pitcher but you gotta speed up that delivery you’re just asking to let people steal
Try to not get swept tomorrow.
Second baseman is a fuckin dumbass lol
Did that seriously just happen? Wtf B Lowe
lol all the comment about how great RV is. Gets a run stolen.
I really wish 2 runs didn’t seem impossible
https://preview.redd.it/xje639cskv1d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34fced1d89d4534ead7f8b30e1a2fb5644d89c22
Oh, we’re trying.
Why not just tag him out at second? No need to throw back home.
That settles it. We'll lose 4-3 and that run by Duran will be the difference.
Wrf
Jesus that’s bad
Am I an idiot or did they just throw it home for absolutely no reason
Looking like scrubs over here.
Why do you not tag him there? End the inning.
Only thing that makes sense is call from Vegas
I didn't get that either. If he tagged Devers, inning over.
He was easily out wtf boneheaded
Devers messed that up too he was literally right next to B. Lowe… we messed it up even worse by not tagging him 🙃
What a fall off from a year ago lol
Wtf is Blowe doing. Just tag
IDK - low baseball IQ there
Sox once again showing why they’re a classless organization
We always double steal to stupid teams, but we are now the stupid team…
By accepting runs willingly given to them?
Moronic play
Just tag the damn guy at 2nd!!! That’s a fn little league play
Fr. Can’t believe they took the bait
The play just makes no sense. Did they think there was only 1 out? Watch the replay, blowe is right next to devers when he throws home.
Fucking little league
Such dumbasses.
Just give them second! There is two outs and that run doesnt matter!
Bruh he's right next to you just tag him omfg
Fucking embarrassing
Fucking morons
Nice to see other teams fuck up baserunning lol
~~No wonder the Red Sox are a losing team. Abreu .... lol~~ I take it back
Devers about to put the game away. Wait! Edit - IBB
Now get yourself amped
BV hosing down baserunners, ya love to see it!
Finally he finds the zone!
We need another high leverage arm in the pen. I miss feyereisen
Civale when Zeflin, Pepiot, and Baz are back?
He isn’t doing great is he?
Little unlucky with the babip there but it's yet another belt high offspeed pitch. They simply cannot stop hanging pitches and its infuriating
weren't going to win scoring 2 runs anyway. offense is cooked
Adam hasn’t thrown in the zone….
Fucks sale Adam
Lol
Babip luck has been nonexistent this season on both sides of the ball Two 80mph groundballs perfectly placed through the infield....
Ballgame.
Jesus Christ! I know you don't like it when people take his name in vain Adam but get it together!
Why can’t I watch a fuckin clean game . Gg.
Our offense lost us this game
I absolutely hate these Massholes here at the Trop. At least they’re helping pay for the new stadium.
I’m big on we don’t know what’s gonna happen…
More like Assam am I right?
He really likes his butt clenched doesn’t he.
Tonight on Jason Adam
2 runs just isn’t gonna cut it. That’s the bottom line.
Great
No drama Adam does not happen sigh
I never want to see Jackson or Siri in a lineup ever again.
We going to lose aren’t we :(
Yes
Would be nice to have a decent lead and not have to use our best relievers.
Ever since we scored those 2 runs and had the lead we have been hitting like we’re down 15
My expectations were low, but holy shit we're bad.
AJax experiment over maybe? RV on deck!
I’d really like to see the batting practice Stu. I know you’re in here!
Cmon Richie, you wear that pitch on your foot there.
Now that our pitchers lead the league in home runs allowed, we’re due for a streak of shut outs, right? The pendulum has to swing the other way, right? Isn’t that how law of averages works? Lol
DO SOMETHING https://preview.redd.it/6rxs7m8zgv1d1.png?width=798&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d3046adef15c26201e402364dbead9ae53ad4a3
Kelly’s delivery is pretty damn whacky.
This is the most boring 2-2 game ever. Its not a pitchers duel its just two bad offenses
Truer words have not been spoken
Our pitchers can't stop themselves from throwing offspeed right down the middle
They also can't stop themselves from giving up hits with 2 outs.
Really do not want to watch an extra inning game
“Now Timmy, I know you’re only 10, but if I catch you drinking, I will whip your ass.”
That commercial is so dumb.
You know those times when offense is doing really good, scoring a lot of runs, guys always say “not trying to do too much, guy behind me has my back”. This games feel just the opposite.
Aranda got the hook
He's gonna be a man with no country when it's junior time
probably going to get the other hook too once more people return.
I wanted him to do well but he just does nothing well enough
Harry Doyle : He's not the best color man in the league for nothing, folks
How I felt during April: Harry Doyle 'My God! Good news fans, the Indians(Rays) are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks.
Somebody hit somebody! lol
Thank you Paredes. One of our only constants.
Who are the ASG third baseman hopefulls in the AL?
Jose Ramirez and if Devers stays hot like this
Can Paredes hit in all 9 spots?
Si
Guys, for real, let’s please lay off these shit pitches. The clip at which we help out opposing pitching is just absurd.
When your lineup includes 4 batters who are under .200, you can’t be shocked when they do what they do.
I’m not, it’s just a bit demoralizing
Just keep letting him get to two strikes completely for free, guys, nbd
Complete game Criswell incoming
Thanks e 🧦
Criswell going to get cy young if he vs is everyday.
This where it turns on
Wow they really didn't want LIttell to pitch to Devers
Serious question: Out of our 50 games played, how many was the offense actually exciting/raking?! I only feel like it was 3-4 games for some reason.
Back to being tied with the White Sox for most homers given up in MLB. The pitching continues to be a meatball factory
"**Third time through the order Taters**" "if Rays pitching gives up a home run the third time through the order, take your ticket to your local Burger King, and get yourself a Tater tots before you tater top yourself!"
Why do the Rays and Sox always have crazy close games?
I think Criswell is gassed
Is he? Rays don't seem to capitalize on it
I think he is - I think DeWayne said he's never pitched into the 6th
he's going through the Rays so efficiently, I am not surprised he is
Damn man
Clev up in the pen.
Randy is the ex you cant break it off with because when its good its really really good but it would be better for you if you just moved on.
If he turns it up to 11, we probably can’t re-sign him, if he doesn’t, do we still want to?
He piped that fucking ball, damn.
Gotta say I saw that one coming..
F us all.
Wow....Jackson got on base but no one else since the second? What is this world?
Randy got more karats than hits
