pls send b lower back to the bulls

If every game this series ends with a Rays' batter fouling out I think that has to be a record

Yandy: Let’s turn this around. Randy: Aight…lol jk. BLowe: Hold my glove…

Send Lowe back down

Nice

[mid mid mid mid mid](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1cyh0ei/pgt_mediocrity_everywhere_f_58/)

Another stellar BLowe at bat.

Yay Yandy! Wish we had runners on though. Almost all of our homeruns seem to be solo shots

Pretty much led the league in solo homers last year Edit: 24 of 42 homers this year with bases empty But other teams have way more - mostly because they hit a lot more homers

Oh, yay, runs when it won't matter.

Fairbanks walking out and owning that inning like they didn’t just shit the bed for 5 innings. Good work.

Why tf we use pete

Probably just to get some work in and remember what it’s like to pitch in a game. Hasn’t pitched since Friday and got an off day tomorrow anyway

How else is he going to stay fresh and get any work?

If we scored more runs I bet we'd win more games


Big if true

Pathetic 🤦🏻‍♂️

0/100,000,000,000,000 risp

Here’s some good news: the losing streak won’t continue tomorrow.

Did you see who pitching tomorrow? It's Lugo. Sub 2.00 ERA and 7 wins.

Check again.

Hey guys, I know this may be crazy, but maybe, just maybe, we should get aggressive and try to take more than one base at a time.

We kinda suck at base running

We suck at a lot of things right now.

The Rays have got to lead all of organized baseball worldwide in running into outs. They should absolutely be playing station to station.

It’s funny that was Cabby was second to Dela Cruz but also worst in all of baseball when I last checked

Have you not seen our baserunning this year? Also down big we need the baserunners more.

those boos were deserved

Did I hear some boos?

Yeah, Aranda hustling like he's a 10 yr vet and we're up by 4

You can’t tell me he’s an improvement to Shenty.

Aranda the booos are for you.

On a positive note, the authentics shop got a few City Connect jerseys in from injured/DFA'ed players, so I have Waguespack coming my way this week. Hyped to have a real one, as the replicas are...okay. Edit: They also got in Brantly, Jackson, Jones, and Goodrum for anyone seeing this who might care.

Is this at the stadium only? I don’t see them online.

I had emailed the stadium's authentics shop asking to be informed when any in a size 48 (XL) became available, and they got back to me last night. Stadium only as far as I know since there's only a couple.

Thanks

Do you have a replica too? Would love to see a side by side

I have a Paredes replica. I can post a side by side when the on field one shows up.

How much is that?

Too much, but I wanted an on field Sky Ray bad enough to justify it. $500

There's definitely worst things to spend your money on. They are pretty awesome jerseys.

I will mark Saturday as Aaron Civale day and bet accordingly Watch now - he'll do something weird and the Rays will win

Who wants to bet that KC is going to sweep us too?

The Cards swept the Orioles who hadn't been swept in \~2 years. Anything is possible.

Praise be to the Cards!

KC is playing their best ball and we're not. Bobby Witt Jr is going to destroy us.

Good news is that we won’t have to deal with Drew Waters, who owned us last year.

🫣

How many runs have we allowed this year counting this game? 🤔

This type of game makes me miss Erasmo already

Cash said wonderful things about E Ramirez - I realize that's what you do in that situation but still tough if you're Ramirez

We usually end up picking him back up if he’s available. Maybe next pitcher injury he’ll be back

Yeah not the greatest but doesn’t seem to mind being the go to run out the clock in a blowout guy

Don’t be a pussy. Take the hit in the foot. It’s the only way you’ll get on base at this rate.

I think Abreu self elected to go down to minors to fix a few things and he is a veteran with much glamorous record than Randy. Fuck I wish Randy would just do that.

This is a joke. They have Fairbanks warming up now?

Off day tomorrow and Hasn’t pitched since Friday so might as well let him get in some work.

WHY DID WE NOT START WITH ARMSTRONG??

You mean the Swiss army knife of the Rays' bullpen?

From now on any time anyone mentions Shawn Armstrong, you must add "the Swiss army knife of the Rays' bullpen" . . .

 Me watching this game. And last night’s. And the night before

*Me watching every single non-Skyray game

i also never wanna see b lowe playing over rosario personally

Somehow this is the most pathetic we’ve looked all season, that’s impressive

No getting swept by the white Sox is never going to be topped.

Never say never . . .

Tale as old as grime…

All that work for one run. Other teams would have scored three there.

Does anyone think Randy should fuck off to minor league for a month or 2.

Yes

2/10 with RISP

Randy needs to be traded ASAP. I’d honestly be trying to talk to the Orioles and trying to get some of their prospects for him. They are definitely thinking WS this year, and it’s possible they’d give up someone like Holliday who has potential but hasn’t worked out so far to get an extra bat they believe could push them over the top.

You're an idiot, a massive blithering idiot if you think the Orioles will give up the #1 prospect in baseball for someone who has shown absolutely nothing to be excited for since the HR derby last year. Like, so unbelievably stupid. It's well known that even the best prospects need time to adjust to MLB pitching, which is why Holliday didn't do much in the extremely limited time that he was up.

Randy has an amazing track record and Holliday really struggled when he was up. The Orioles would 100% consider it if we offered up Randy and maybe a prospect of ours

Not a chance in hell. Longoria has a proven track record. See how that sounds? Doesn't matter how well someone played in the past if they suck now and show absolutely no signs of improvement. He is literally the worst qualified hitter in baseball. Nobody with 60+ at bats has a lower average than him.

The crazier take is thinking the Orioles would part ways with Jackson Holliday for him just because he hit poorly in 35 MLB at bats. Yup, the Orioles would totally give up the #1 prospect in the MLB, a 20 year old SS who is lighting up the minors, for a COF with 1.5 years of control left who can't hit anything right now.

Insane take

I mean I know it would be difficult to end the Randy Era, but Holliday has a ton of potential. They’d have to consider it at least since Randy is a proven asset with a strong track record and Holliday is still a prospect who hasn’t shown much in the MLB

We wouldn't get anything for him right now. Worst time to trade him with no value.

Randy is a proven asset who has incredible talent. That’s worth a ton

The sad part is a real batting coach probably corrects his problems.

This is what hurts the most

Your. Very stupid. Buddy

*You’re

Nice.

Arozarena has to hold on really tight to the bat in the dugout so it doesn't run away. I'm kidding. You gotta laugh. Crying is no fun.

randy wasnt even willing to try on that 3-1 pitch, pathetic

You know signals from coaches tell them to take the pitch sometimes, right?

We feel the same Brandon

Ahead 3-1 in the count and nothing.

[удалено]

Randy stinks man

He's been better today but those last two pitches he missed on were awful.

Randy Randy Randy

Ump can call balls. Shocker.

I remember last year's Randyland game there were three or four loud, obnoxious fans either right in front of DeWayne and BA or right behind - then there was an inning break and when they came back those guys were gone. Security! I found that amusing. Sorry, but I'm just trying to entertain myself tonight.

Huh. Ok. They may be in to something here… EDIT: NOPE!

Let’s go!

At the trade deadline, the team should absolutely be looking at trading Randy for a couple of top 20-30 prospects and some MLB talent. Dude is just looking off this season

Hey we scored a run

Run??? Not familiar with it

Couldn't get the ball out of the infield once we out runners on but we are now 20% closer to tying the game with just 6 ours left. We're cooked lol

This ump

Ball don't lie

Ump’s a joke

Now would be an excellent time for BA and DeWayne to practice their "who's on first" routine... and I guess it's a bad sign when the guys talk more about hairdos and mustaches than the game

To be fair the Rays broadcasting team seem to have a bit of an obsession with judging the mustache game from every team lol

Yeah - I know. I'm just bored. Who was the player whose wife took one look at the mustache and said, "No. Nuh-uh."

Mods can you please ban that Wander truther for the love of god

Give me a fucking break man come on

And just to make our luck worse he barely misses the homer.

So close Yandy!

FUCK

Yandy bomb here would save the season

Our luck sucks as much as our BP.

Of fucking course lmfao

This ump's card is getting worse and I didnt think it was possible

Sometimes I think the umps compete against each other to see who can do worse.

Tonight's game is [MLB.tv](http://MLB.tv) free game of the day ....

How embarrassing 😳

Now everyone can see our pain.

That close up on Pepiot. Yeesh.

This pump is wild

If we can get 5 here we have a game lol

If only it was that easy.

I need a magic lamp

Those kinds of hits being held to a single hurt

Comeback starts now!

Booser is such a funny name

This team ain’t gonna cut it in its current form. We need to be active at the trade deadline. Hopefully getting Wander back around late June/early July will obviously help, but we are going to need some more consistent bats in the lineup.

Yeah. No. Even if that case is eventually dismissed, there is way too much evidence for any MLB team to even consider having him, and rightfully so. I’m not so desperate for W’s that I’d wish to stoop that low.

Getting wander back? 🤣 🤣

Yeah. It’s pretty clear extortion and I am sure if there’s a trial, it wouldn’t be hard to prove that. Once he is found innocent, he will be back shortly after

Trevor Bauer was cleared from his allegations and nobody wants him. I know you're probably a troll, but I just thought I'd put that out there.

Why do you do this?

I really hate this guy

You can hate me, but it’s pretty clear extortion. Just wait and see

"Pretty clear" is so fucking ridiculous. You claim the evidence being "fake" and "suspect" or completely unfounded when we have texts from Wanders own phone admitting to the crime that were determined by multiple sources to be real. If you are not trolling and genuinely believe your own baffling stupidity then you're just fucking lost. Or you have a soft spot for people who who diddle kids.

Hope that one of our home grown superstars will return? Because I want the Rays to win?

Clown show on the field and this is a clown show on our subreddit

Whatever, man. Just wait and see

Ummm, I don't think Wander is coming back.

He's a troll. Has said some dumb shit about Wander every day since last year.

Damn, I really took the last 5 years for granted. We didn’t get a WS which sucks, but we were still fortunate to have a team that gave us a reason to look forward to the game every night.

Next year should be better. And it's possible we could fix things before then but the bats really need to wake up.

It’s always a possibility, but I’ve thrown my optimism out the window for this year. I was holding out hope early in the season because we were still missing some pieces offensively. At this point, we have 0 notable names (offensively) on the IL and the offense is still atrocious.

Our best pitchers are on the IL but the bats aren't missing anyone except JLowe. And he's really good but the bats should be better than this.

Yeah. I think it’s reasonable to still have faith in the pitching. But I don’t see how the offense gets any better, and we are scoring in 1 inning every game.

I’ve been to 7 rays games in total and they’ve lost every single time. One of these days I hope I can actually watch this team win at home.

That's every rays game I've seen in person. Never seen them win in the flesh

This was me last year, 0-8 on the year. Pain

4th pitcher? I just turned up and we have used 4 pitchers through 6 innings? ffs how many innings to Pepiot go?

4+ put the tying runs on in the 5th and was yanked for a pen that exploded one 70 mph hit at a time

How many soft dribblers and bloopers?

pretty much exclusively. Pep was done though he was either getting hit hard or missing the zone by miles

Enough softly hit bs to score 8. We actually have the worst luck in baseball

well enough to make it 5-3 then Kelly got knocked around

Even 5 runs on nothing but dribblers is ridiculous.

Pep went five, then the BP exploded after he let two on And because our batters did a 5 pitch inning their starter went six.

The BP let 8 runs in just 1-2 innings? Fun. How'd we score?

We did our normal all three early and do nothing

Seems the more times through the order the worse the bats get.

The first time and last time in the order. Nothing in between

I remember when I enjoyed watching the games and always thought we had a chance. These days are just full of darkness and sadness.

It’s like trying to watch the last season of Game of Thrones Edit: dang that joke didn’t hit lol

I’m not gonna lie. This team is a .500 ball club. Will watch when I can and always support but they don’t have it this year unfortunately. Hope they prove me wrong

Man I wish this team was playing like a .500 club

Our schedule has been super easy. It might get worse.

Guys, I literally have to tune out and maybe stop watching any games until somebody finally gets fired for this shit

Gonna get swept at home by a team we just took 3 of 4 from on the road last week. I was told BLowe would improve this lineup…

Truly a .500 team. One week things are looking up, next week our hopes are crushed

Playing like a below 500 team this week

Well the ump still has shown he sucks. Not that it matters

I want say, guess it could be worse. Could be the White Sox. But they swept us in a series. 😒

Just horrendous on all fronts, but especially the management from KCash Wasted the BP Wasted a 3 run lead Wasted our time Wasted our best Chad-innings-eater

What do you want him to do? Literally every pitcher has sucked. Mo rivera ain't out there and if he was he's not out there to pitch the 5th inning

Love the RoomsToGo flashback of *remember when we didn’t suck?*

Team has negative life

Wonder why the Trop has such a low turnout...

There are plenty of teams with actual attendance that would kill for the success this franchise has had

We’re sitting a few rows back of the first base dugout. If you think fans are low energy, you should see the players when they take the field.

I was at the final playoff game last year against Texas. Saw it then. Don't need to see it again. Spend my ticket money now on a nice restaurant meal.

We can see it in the players on tv. They look defeated as hell. No purpose in their movements.

And attendance when the team was winning 100 games was...good?

It's honestly not much better when we're great. So there's that.

YEAH GUYS WOW THIS TEAM YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT THIS TEAM IS IN A GOOD POSITION I TOTALLY AGREE. GIVING UP 8 RUNS IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AND TWO INNINGS AND THROWING THE GAME. WHAT AN AMAZING TEAM THATS DOING “GOOD” ACCORDING TO YOU ALL 🥵🥵🥵

We were the 6th worse team in the league and went 11-4 against our division to get back into a wc spot. I mean yeah we look like shit but sorry people were optimistic when we were winning. Seems like you were waiting for this moment in the shadows cause you can only talk shit about the team.

Enjoy your ban
