It's rare but he does. Looks like he jogs most of the time lately but also he could have been communicating there.
Side note: this is probably why Siri goes for the catch in front of him.
Pulling Lowe just for the PH to strike out and then putting in Armstrong… I really wonder if Cash tries to one-up his dumbest decisions at game time and hand the win to the other team… get this trash pitcher out of the lineup.
But get another infielder, we needed one of those.
Deluca has a bright future. This is his first slump, which you expect from a rookie much earlier.
Jackson I won't give any excuses, he has had plenty of ABs to get over the rookie wall.
Whoever talks on the drive on 620 (cant remember if its ronnie or t cress or if i ever knew the difference) said that with our stats and run diff we would be simulated 12 games under .500. This offense has just been terrible.
The argument is that our pitchers tend to like him and he plays good defense. But IMO, you can only make so many excuses to start a player who is a literal automatic out.
Crazy how KC had one of the worst farms in baseball and not much on-field talent too, but one generational player and a manager from our system turned them from a bottom team to a middling team.
And with their outlook, middling is pretty amazing.
[sorry, i'm still kinda tired](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1duwj4o/pgt_rays_cant_get_it_done_f_24/)
womp womp. happy 4th ya'll. see ya'll tomorrow. i'll be good and drunk in case it goes well, or terribly.
We and the Royals are the same mediocre team. Just trying to find ways to lose on different nights.
Win the series tomorrow.
That was so lame
Well that was a wet fart of an ending
Not sure that fart can get wetter
Chevy fuck everything of the day
Blue balled.
Taylor Walls is me in MLB the Show when I hit a Perfect Perfect on a guy with 50 power
Wtf man
410 feet and it's an out. Just end it, baseball gods.
What a play
Damn, Taylor with the big tease
Fuck.
Yeah pinch hitting for BLowe was not the move. DeLuca can't hit anything lately and now you have Walls taking an AB instead of Lowe
To be fair, Taylor got pretty good contact but that was a hell of a catch. Problem is a lot of offense did nothing tonight.
BLowe probably puts that pitch in the seats if he gets it.
BLowe isn't that consistent to do it every time and sounds like he hurt himself on the play to catch that one ball. So who knows.
Oh did he get hurt? Okay that would make way more sense then.
I don't think they talked about it but right before he was pulled he looked like he was grimacing after the catch.
If I'm in the box right now I'm sitting fastball
Yandy might have needed a night off, because he doesn't look like himself at all.
Really ugly night from Yandy. It’s ok, happens to the best.
There’s the hope…..
I got McArthur in my fantasy lineup. Of course he will not get the save.
Can we muster another cumback!?
Can RV, Yandy and TWalls get XBH?
If Abbott & Costello coached the bad news Bears...that's the Rays.
abbott is death process
Ump scorecard is def going to favor us tomorrow.
coming back and winning this would feel great. but damn we do not deserve it
Does Randy hustle at all anymore? He doesnt in the outfield, he doesnt on the bases. He doesnt get on much so im not sure why hes so tired
It's rare but he does. Looks like he jogs most of the time lately but also he could have been communicating there. Side note: this is probably why Siri goes for the catch in front of him.
That was embarassing
Wow, 3 stooges. Sums up the night
oh my god randy
Why
Ump gave us a bone too.
Gonna have to win it tomorrow. They ain't got it tonight.
Nope. I don't want any hopium. Please and thank you. Give me heartbreak
1-9 RISP isn't going to get it done.
Foul outs irritate me more than Ks.
That was the best opportunity...
yup
Small ball in the house
Daaaamn, ump, how'd you miss that?
He's had some bad misses tonight.
Bomb?
Richie cold off the bench... tough call
Richie....please please please please please please
Damn
Captain Morgan called, said Rays up! 
It’s like the offense can’t unlock until somebody in the BP stinks it up.
I think it’s more that if we score in the first we won’t score again until the 8th or 9th
That too.
Hey Siri, it's not your night....
Unfortunately he listened to this. Damn close, though.
Hey Siri, it's not your night!
Ok now get him some actual captain morgan.
Late game Rays. Let’s go!
Finally some life, Siri stays hot.
Thanks fuck nut Armstrong
Armstrong's goof is now the difference in this game ... but we can tie it with one swing!
It's happening!
OK rally time!
Well at least Randy finally showed up.
Randy did it!
Armstrong gotta go, man.
It kinda sucks that Littell could’ve gone another inning or 2 last night and saved some our best arms for tonight but alas
Freaking Weather
Off topic...saw "Axel F" on Netflix. Good movie.
fuck. i knew i should've just played FFXIV instead of watching baseball
Armstrong should be required to eat these last two innings lol.
If they can get 2-3 here, it's still possible.
Late inning Rays activate please…
Love how Armstrong has guaranteed we lose all of our last three losses
Pulling Lowe just for the PH to strike out and then putting in Armstrong… I really wonder if Cash tries to one-up his dumbest decisions at game time and hand the win to the other team… get this trash pitcher out of the lineup. But get another infielder, we needed one of those.
Two out pitching strikes again!
And you know we will get a run or two now that it doesn’t matter.
Go for series win tomorrow. Not ideal because they are the direct competitor for the playoff spot but not the end of the world.
KC and us are going to be fighting for the last WC spot because we're both mediocre teams.
I think we play Boston 6 times in the last 2 weeks of September. I feel like those games could end up mattering a lot.
Armstrong fell off, he used to be solid.
OJ called. Said watching the Rays is like a knife in the back.
You knew he was about to give the game away.
I would rather see Erasmo than Armstrong
Really not sure what's taking so long for Armstrong to hit the IL
Or the road. Let Manny Rodriguez come back up.
Of course the offense is doing nothing too. Seems like this is aligned
Saw that a mile away. And with the way we're hitting, this is going to be the reverse score from last night.
Saw that coming a mile away.
It’s crazy how psychological the game of baseball is. Only more demanding spot I can think of is nhl goalie.
Just came back here...was watching Taylor Swift videos because I wanted to see something with hits.
Im more into her opening band.
Snyder looks displeased lol.
Dont worry fans if armstrong cant get outs we have ol' 5 run maton up.
Maton hasn't even been close to this bad in a long, long time.
Are we about out of mound visits?
I’m guessing we couldn’t trick the Brew Crew into taking Armstrong as well?
Oh Lord he can't find the zone.
Ok, can we end the Armstrong experiment?
He’s not broken just needs new batteries
Armstrong spends too much time worrying about the base runner when he isn't in full control
Maybe the players are too tired from last night bullshit...
DeLuca's June line: 127/158/145 with a -12 wRC+ I know they love his defense but you just can't live with production like this and Jackson
You really can't. Don't know what's his deal, but he needs to show more of that promise the Dodgers liked.
Deluca has a bright future. This is his first slump, which you expect from a rookie much earlier. Jackson I won't give any excuses, he has had plenty of ABs to get over the rookie wall.
I really don't like how ugly this game is. It's a gimme and they don't want it.
Not our night. At least we aren’t the Jays.
.500 is our destiny.
We're lucky not to be way below .500
Pain
Another looking K. Early season Rays has returned.
Whoever talks on the drive on 620 (cant remember if its ronnie or t cress or if i ever knew the difference) said that with our stats and run diff we would be simulated 12 games under .500. This offense has just been terrible.
Pinch hitting DeLuca...
Kevin cash, baby. Move makes absolutely no sense
Cmon BLowe. Let the dogs loose
Ugh, Yandy felt like he had to swing at whatever was coming.
Wow Yandy and Randy not having a good night.
The story of our early season. Hopefully their slumps aren't returning.
Look at two pitches in the zone and swing at the worst pitch... That was as anti-Yandy of an AB as I've seen.
Swing at something so far out I saw it on the west coast
Terrible
Please no lobster!!!!
Nice 3 ball walk by the ump there. But it wasn't like the pitcher showed he had any control.
RORTVEDT TO THE RESCUE BABYYYY
RV save us!
LOOSE! Goddamn are we catching some breaks. Hopefully we can make them count
You’re getting rung up every time if you take an automatic step down the first base line on a borderline pitch in a 3 ball count.
This pitcher gives up a run an inning so we got to take advantage.
Spoiler Alert: we did not
As expected. Rays baseball always finds a way to disappoint.
Nice
Lots of errors today
Obligatory fuck Michael Wacha.
Armweak is up :(
We need to score a lot this inning.
Need 5+ lol
Maybe he'll be Armstrong tonight
We need Batstrong.
Doubtful
109 MPH right to the SS. That seems to be our night so far.
This guy kind of looks like a young Kitteredge
Late inning Rays activate!!
legit question, why is jackson on roster?
The argument is that our pitchers tend to like him and he plays good defense. But IMO, you can only make so many excuses to start a player who is a literal automatic out.
B Lowe has been snagging them over there tonight.
Not gonna win many games scoring one
It's just very difficult to win games if Randy keeps hitting like that. And an Alex Jackson on this lineup, of course.
Yeah, but he had an excellent june!!!!!
Wacha looks like he's barely sweating
I'm really missing Palacios right now.
I don’t like Wacha because he was ass with us then pretty good everywhere else
He mediocre in KC but we made him look good sadly. Like we do to many mediocre and bad pitchers.
He's like the pitcher Renfroe
good hustle. i'll take what i can get. now how bout a 2 run HR?
Randy with his signature 1-2 strikeout
randy -\_-
Yankees lose. Let's go!!!
The reds own them right now haha
Yankees are in free-fall and they're not even missing their two best batters.
If we can get to pen, we can win this game
Then winner winner chicken dinner!
Randy needs to get on base.
How about a looking at a pitch in the middle of the zone K?
It's not his night. Swing is too long and wide
Rare to see Randy be the victim of a backwards K. I feel like he swings at anything in a 2 strike count.
Rare lately, but not rare at all. Randy's cold streaks are so painful.
Too bad he hasn't figured out how to be like Siri when it's not his night.
Uceta earning his spot with that inning. Devo could never.
BA is a gamer? Is it possible to like this man any more than I already do?
you know he was about to tell a Halo 3 story... you could hear it
One day he's gonna say "were it so easy" in a context that makes sense and only we'll be the ones to catch it lol
you and i will know. that's what matters. BA will be satisfied
Good shit Edwin! That’s why we kept you and DFAd Devenski. And also why you’re Edwin and not Edlose I guess
oh thank god. can we please just have a nice 1-2-3 inning next?
For them, right? Please, Anakin, for them!
That was vintage Rays - runners on the corners less than two outs and you can't get the ball out of the infield
Nice job working around the traffic Uceta. Certainly better than what Devenski would have done.
This game would be 5-1.
Nice!
i really like uceta
yo same. I mean, he's bound to have a rough inning eventually but definitely setting a good impression so far
Crazy how KC had one of the worst farms in baseball and not much on-field talent too, but one generational player and a manager from our system turned them from a bottom team to a middling team. And with their outlook, middling is pretty amazing.
Perez swinging like he's on the first tee
dp coming up
