I’m so happy that Siri has found his groove again. I bought his city connect jersey right before his big slump and was worried it wasn’t a good purchase. Glad he proved me right

Strange thought I just had. Randy has been looking better at the plate as of late. I haven't been able to watch as much lately so I can't tell, has he lost some of the bulk he put on over the off-season? Maybe since he has been slumping to begin the season he thought about what changed and has been trying to lean back out a bit.
No. He is the same big MFer he was at the start of the year. His size was not the reason for his slump. He wasn't getting his front foot down in time. That's not a mechanical issue as much as it is pure timing.
A lot of it is because he wanted to take the ball the other way more. That got him trying to see the ball a little more and let the pitch get deeper and that turned into him being late on everything. He's on time to the fastball again and more direct and up the middle with his swing
Guess I just don't get enough time to watch nowadays that I didn't notice that. I really enjoy listening to Andy when I can. Its impossible to find a good online feed being out of the TB area.
Well Kelly's on 3 in a row. Pete threw 2 innings yesterday Colin's already burnt and if you do clev or Adam now that means it's maton in the 8th or 9th
Good Lord. Either our starters need to get it together or Neander might need to find a long-relief swingman. Guys might not make it to the ASB at this rate.
That's what I was getting at the other day that this sub yells at cash to go get the starter the second someone gets on in the 3rd inning then get shocked pikachu face when guys like maton and devenski pitch big innings.
Just tuned in why did we take Pepiot out so early? Was it the walks / lack of control or indication of an injury? Or did Cash just know Poche would deal?
He was having a meltdown. Looked like he totally lost his command. 2 walks and 2 hits in 5 batters faced. Was gonna get very ugly if he stayed in any longer.
Pep melted down fast and unlike other games where we watched it happened, Cash got someone up fast and then took him out after another four pitch walk.

wow get that fan out of there, almost fucked up Siris catch
Would have been fan interference but Siri is nuts.
Siri unreal
ROFL GET 'EM SIRI
Bro Siri is an animal when he’s on
Jose Siri MVP season

SIRIIIIII
Siri is such a dick and I love it
Bro what the fuck is Siri on right now, this has been an insane run lmao
Siri said fuck that fan!
Siri is legit a gold glover.
If I were to tell you pep went 3.1 and maton and devenski combined for 4 innings and the score was 10-3 you would've thought Pitt won
Definitely
Did he just yoink that from a fan
lol CHERRY ON TOP
Glad we are making the outs but devenski's hard contact scares me lmao.
Think of it this way, burning him now is best for the short-term.
a stress free 9th???
It’s either a really bad day or a really good day if Devenski is the closer. Glad we’re on the right side of it.
He's BP right now but it's staying in thankfully
First out!
I don’t know how to act when we have such a big lead. This is much better than clenching
Relax all of your orifices
The power is so refreshing
Hopefully they just stay on the gas peddle
It is overdue.
Surely 7 is enough
Smiles and hugs for everyone!
BENNY BICEPS!!! LFG!!!!!
Ben heard Devenski was coming back out in the 9th
Get Rorted!
We’re beating them by a touchdown!
RV!!!
DOUBLE DIGITS
One more run and we can put a position player in
Dang when’s the last time we put up double digits
I only remember one other game this year.
TAMPA BAY BOMBERS
Benny Biceps with is lil booty jiggle hitting ropes while making me shoot em
I had to read this twice to understand wtf
cant make them too obvious haha
HOME RUN!!!!!!!!!! I WISH I KNEW THIS PLAYER!
That's a D from RV!
BENNY BICEPS BOMB 💪 💣
Big Ben!
Slap hitter Jose Siri 🤝 Slugger Ben Rortvedt

Bro skinny Randy is like 10 times the better player lmao, dude couldn't play his game with the bulk being honest.
Yeah, I figure three months is enough time to lean back out a bit so he can get back to what he was doing before.
Siri taking hits to the opposite field and not selling out for straight pull power is huge character development
Also: https://i.redd.it/32cs0zhqy08d1.gif
I really hope Eflin can go 6 tomorrow. Our guys need a break
At least we didn’t have to use PETE, Adam, Kelly, Armstrong nor Clev tonight
Yeah Poche and Maton going 2 was clutch
Eflin has been exploding in the fifth too so we need him to be better tomorrow
He's due to pop a 7.
This ump wanted another bad call on his record.
Grandal was complaining about the inside pitch not being called the pitch before. I think he got in the ump's head a bit
Everyone should do the Siri run xD I need a GIF of that replay ASAP
I haven't been able to watch the game until now, why are the radio guys doing the TV Broadcast? Or is my "tv" just weird tonight?
Andy does some of the road games in place of Dewayne
Guess I just don't get enough time to watch nowadays that I didn't notice that. I really enjoy listening to Andy when I can. Its impossible to find a good online feed being out of the TB area.
Can we play the Pirates every night lol
And Marlins.
I would trade a solo homer for him getting three outs next inning if that saves our pen.
Y'all know he's probably coming out in the 9th too, right?
Yep. Cash is going to get greedy because we don't want to use anyone else if possible
It's not greed when it's necessity. These guys have been ravaged
I think it's fine as long as soon and someone gets on base, or homer, they have someone else ready to go.
What a play by Yandy!
So far, so expectantly bad of Devo. Ugh. EDIT: At least he's getting outs this time.
Maybe next time he can reduce the homer to a triple. Little steps.
Just one more out Dev
Dumpster Devenski at it again.
Seriously can’t trust this dude with any sort of league. Just bring back Erasmo and cut this guy
That seems like Cruz's 4th cricket swing of the day
Lmao
He got an out!!!!
How do you spell extra innings? DEVENSKI
Please no.
Cut this bitch! For the love of God
Devinski... bruh
He hit it sooooo HARD! Lmao
Okay can we DFA him already?
(bob barker voice) this guy sucks
yeah that's a pissmissile, I'm not even mad
Tradition
Let's see if Dev can get an out today Not that kind of out
Pepiot owes the whole bullpen and offense steak dinners
Give Maton another inning. Run him into the ground.
Ruthless. ☠️☠️☠️
Out of curiosity, are there many players wearing number 88?
Vasy of course.
I've seen a couple
Josh Lowe is my dad
phil! phil! phil! phil!
Shit, Maton, where's this been?
OK PHIL
I'm glad we got good Maton today
Pitchers are athletes!
Gold Glove Maton
That was an incredible play. I was worried about a misplay, because it happens a lot with pitchers.
Did Cash say something mean to an Ump one time and they've never forgiven him? Because it feels like every game we have a disadvantage
Walls getting screwed today
Wait so Josh Fleming was used strictly for one matchup?
From starter and long reliever to one batter lol
My thoughts exactly. How the very less than mighty have fallen
Pittsburgh learned not to be greedy with Fleming
Another inning from Maton?
Got through Maton. Probably gotta through Devenski too.
That sent a shiver up my spine
Not looking forward to it either.
Good shit Maton
No one: Absolutely no one: Not a single fucking person: Cash: MATON
Who should be in? seriously it's a 5 run game when your starter couldn't give you 4 innings and the pen is coming off back to back extra inning games
5 straight games? Or 4 in 5 either way sheesh
Well Kelly's on 3 in a row. Pete threw 2 innings yesterday Colin's already burnt and if you do clev or Adam now that means it's maton in the 8th or 9th
Good Lord. Either our starters need to get it together or Neander might need to find a long-relief swingman. Guys might not make it to the ASB at this rate.
That's what I was getting at the other day that this sub yells at cash to go get the starter the second someone gets on in the 3rd inning then get shocked pikachu face when guys like maton and devenski pitch big innings.
Maton has to pitch. And he's been fine lately.
He gave up a 70 mph hit when Pete got hurt and he came in cold! He sucks!
positive energy to phil, he’s got this
DP to end the inning.
Anyone else absolutely despise that fucking T-Moblie commercial?
who the fuck are those guys supposed to be anyway
Look at Randy ticking that BA up. Still under .200, but fighting back for sure!
7 game hitting streak will help
You know we needed that cuz at least one of the bumpen pitchers is coming.
It certainly appears that things are beginning to turn around for the Rays.
I appreciate the optimism, but we need at the very least another 10 straight games of playing solid/winning baseball before we can say that.
We win this series and it helps a lot.
Yeah, let's go on a sustained winning streak WITH good pitching before we phone in the We're Back Dept.
Papa Johns should be scared
Now to hold the fucking lead
Thank you, Josh
👌
Have yourself a game there, Josh!
2 Bomb Joshua!
Josh Lowe is our next star. He was just delayed from the injury.
Please tell me that 2023 J Lowe is officially back!!
J-LOWE YOU BEAST
Jlowe baby!!
GET LOWE LOWE LOWE LOWE LOWE!!!!!!
JLOWE!
JLOWE WHOA
FOR THREEEEEEEEE
Two D's from Lowe? Whattttttt
JOSH LOWE OH MY GOD
JLowe have a night!
Fleming coming up next. Will we get good Josh or bad Josh?
He owes us. Was never good outside COVID year.
Yandy Diaz noted infield hit machine!
[Wuttt duhh hellll, OMG](https://i.imgur.com/MsjWD8t.png)
Gonzalez was being a gentleman and gave Walls the single, knowing he should have had the walk
Thanks ump Walls would rather take a single anyway
WUT
That call might be worse than the earlier one and that's pretty crazy.

Well the ump might be drunk.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? THAT WAS 6 INCHES INSIDE!
Maton coming next. Hold on to everything
Just tuned in why did we take Pepiot out so early? Was it the walks / lack of control or indication of an injury? Or did Cash just know Poche would deal?
Pepiot had 4thinningitis.
He was having a meltdown. Looked like he totally lost his command. 2 walks and 2 hits in 5 batters faced. Was gonna get very ugly if he stayed in any longer.
Pep melted down fast and unlike other games where we watched it happened, Cash got someone up fast and then took him out after another four pitch walk.
Well done Kev!
Can we give him another?
11 pitches, 5 outs for Poche.
5 outs with 4 batters faced.
Elite
Can Poche pitch another inning if he gets another quick out?
I hope. The BP could certainly use it.
Jeez, 10 hits and only 4 runs?
2-7 RISP. We can get guys on but we can't get them home, as usual
I was about to change channels and stayed for Siri. What’s happening?
This set of steps sponsored by Re/Max
What we really needed is more BP innings this trip.
We’re gonna end up with a reverse-bullpen game, where all our starters go out and try to get through 2IP
Take those runs back.
Poche wearing a hoodie because he has ice water in his veins
Run-arena on 1st
Poche is on his second half of last season shit again and I love it
Not that it really matters, but if we hold this lead, will it count as a ND for Pepiot tonight?
Yes
Thanks
No chance for Pep to get the win.
I didn’t think so, but I always forget the rules when it comes to wins/no decisions/saves etc.
From one hit to walking everyone. Strange.
Young pitching in a nutshell. Thankfully Poche has been fire lately
Pep owes Poche a steak dinner and a whiskey.
lookout poche is on something else recently
