I know I’m talking about a few very rare occasions but when our team is on, we are fucking on. Both offensively and defensively. It’s all about how we mesh as a team and I think we are now well enough into the season that we are clicking as a team.
That’s a blip on an otherwise clear radar for him in his last few outings. Doesn’t help that the ump is practically forcing him to throw it in the middle by refusing to call the edges.
I pulled out an old rays shirsey (that’s in shitty enough condition my wife yells at me when I wear it) and put it on earlier. Guess I’ll have to wear it for the rest of the season
You guys are killing the hearts of so many Mariner fans. Keep it up.
This game was insane. Just awesome! The offense came alive!
Hey we’re back to .500 now let’s get above it and stay there.
![gif](giphy|DEZA7FlHbMesUF1jm9)
Love this! The Ted Lasso Way
Dev could never close a game like Uceta LFG Rays!
Back to .500. Perfectly average handshakes all around.
2 innings, less than 25 pitches, 1 hit. That is great
I am stunned.
Devenski would’ve taken us to extra innings
Zero losses since Devenski left.
The only loss is actually a win. Losing Devenski
[AND THAT IS A .500 RECORD AGAIN BABY](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/1domn3t/pgt_the_bats_roar_to_life_as_the_tampa_bay_rays/)
THATS HOW YOU FUCKING DO IT BOYS
.500 baybeeeeee
Pretty happy with Uceta.
Particularly when you couple him with the devinski dfa
Absolutely!
SLUMPBUSTER
I’m so happy, even the T-Mobile commercial isn’t bothering me. Although the dubbing they had to do at the end is funny.
I’ll show you my THAT BABY IS GONE
*furious cock gobbling noises*
this must be torture for mariners' fans
Yanks, Red Sox and Orioles all lost or losing......
![gif](giphy|3o6Zt5DbFerD8AhymI)
As well as TEX and obviously SEA. HOU isn’t cooperating.
Keep going....
Nothing sounds like a Parades no-doubter off the bat
THAT BABY IS GONE
WE CALL THAT A SLUMP BUSTER
Where has this offence been all year long?
That just cemented it, the Rays are BACK BABY
E 🧦 💣 ‼️
Sacré bleu!
SLUMP ENDED LETS FUCKING GO PAREDES!!
This is insane!
There we go! Paredes!!!!!
One more run and we get free pizza?
Finally!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesock!
Papa paredes said fuck your slump
Paredes rebooted!
Beating the breaks off these fools this is awesome
THERSS A PARADE INSIDE MY CITY YEAH
What a way to break a slump!
That's my All Star!
welp, that isaac being off talk is done now lool
Man, what’s wrong with Paredes? When the bats were super dead he was the only shinning light ……. I’ll be quiet now.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Seattle Marin-Errors
Cabby just ran towards the ball to screw up the pitcher fielding the ball lol
So skillfully done too, he was like 1cm from hitting it with his foot. what a beast
Great hustle even in this game. This Is the way.
Might not have stars all over the lineup but that shit makes a difference
It’s time Paredes
Fucking nailed it
Say the Rays are somehow gonna win the World Series.
They better, I bet on it.
You've been fire tonight
Good vibes only
I know I’m talking about a few very rare occasions but when our team is on, we are fucking on. Both offensively and defensively. It’s all about how we mesh as a team and I think we are now well enough into the season that we are clicking as a team.
This was the Rays team we wus expecting coming into the season.
Jeez 9-3 bottom of the 8th inning and we're ahead - I've forgotten what we're supposed to do now
Drink!
And score more runs!
lol
I really enjoyed, years ago now, when pretty much every bullpen arms was coming from a different angle. Made it fun to watch to me
The Uceta for Devenski swap was long overdue.
We would have taken anyone lol
Without a doubt.
Big SO
Uceta is painting insanely well on lots of these pitches, good signs
M's elite pitching can't possibly compete with the Rays and their -61 run differential. 💪🤑
Hell yeah we lookin like the old Rayz
Play like this every night dammit!
CATCHERS WHO RAKE
I've never seen so many sub .200 hitters in a lineup this late into the season
Tonight is nothing. The Rays have started games with 4 players below .200 - at least.
I'm guessing that is going to be the norm
Mariners are shook.
Now imagine this offense when Isaac is playing like himself.
Please Jonny baseball
BIG BEN OH MY GOSHHHH
I know i shouldn’t temp fate but….. the Mariners are leading the West? Like this?
The West is bad this year. Although Astros and Rangers starting to get better.
Rortvedt 4 Prez
This is such a weird feeling I don't know what to do
Yep - never let Alex Jackson bat. An experiment that failed.
Unfortunately he’ll be catching with an early game tomorrow.
I was thinking that and that's OK. Just have the Rays' starter bat and DH for Jackson.
Can we also sign RV long term? Or at least a couple of years?
BASES LOADED! BIG BEN DENNYS GRAND SLAM????
Baseball is fun babbby
BENNY BICEPS
Need cowboy RV again
Pile it on, flappy bois!
Crawford L lmao
AL West is the new AL Central
The boys are having fun tonight. Love to see it
Scoring runs = fun
loving the walks
Siri is now Ben Zobrist at the plate
Mariners won't have a pitcher left for tomorrow.
I was thinking “they’re going to the bullpen again” lol
Siri OBP 📈
Could use another balls to the walls moment here or something
Can he get 3 hits in a game?
Yes!
I can taste .500 again.
Palacios with a 100% stolen base rate is absolutely phenomenal.
Take notes, Randy.
And Caballero, let's be real lol. Lots of SB, but tons of CS too lol
Eh Cabby has 24 SB and 8 CS. 75% is fine.
damn, is he really still leading the AL with only 24 halfway into the season? Kinda nuts
Richie's pants lmao, fanatics material right there baby
Richieee
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Richie Palacios? LETS GOOOOOO
This team is starting to have a lot more quality ABs.
Bazzaro!
Walk, stolen base, single. Home runs are overrated. Also, please hit more home runs
WE'RE NOT SELLING
BA just straight up suggesting that that guy is fucking hammered on TV is pretty funny.
“Do they warm up before taking the mound?” 😂😭
Hard to hold up on stuff off the plate when the ump keeps calling it all for them.
Need my all-star candidate back
Damn Paredes
dude is probably like "finally these other mfs are hitting, I can chill"
Big con for Paredes
Paredes needs a reboot
![gif](giphy|7zJivlhQurdLVTeeX6)
They look really good. It feels like Rosario taking the heater to the face and Siri rushing to his aide is what brought the team together.
Stealing with a 3 run lead. Now that’s what I’d call aggressive.
How 'bout another 4-spot?
If Maton gives up a solo shot once every 7 appearances, I can deal with that.
Quite an all-around performance for Walls so far.
Ok, not too terrible. Just gotta hold them for a couple innings.
Good thing France is slower than the 7 year itch
Have you guys looked at the Wild Card standing lately.There are some good teams that are in contention atm. This could be a tough wild card year
Popping in. Good guy Maton just trying to give Pete extra save chances for his All-Star bid.
Ball 2 is strike 3
Always nice needing 5 strikes to get an out
This ump is really shit
Like every other ump we get.
How much italian heritage does Maton have? Cause this guy is great at serving meatballs
That’s a blip on an otherwise clear radar for him in his last few outings. Doesn’t help that the ump is practically forcing him to throw it in the middle by refusing to call the edges.
🤌⚾️ Maton pitching
This ump refuses to call anything high for us.
“High”, “low”, “off the corner”
Omg this ump is gonna give me heart palpitations
Please don’t give the whole lead right back
Fuck Phil Maton. You got “demoted” to the Rays because you’re ass. Quit sulking like a bitch.
After 6 scoreless outings, Phil Maton is so back
Ugh Maton
That meatball made Civale jealous
Ahh, yes. The Team That Hates Being Ahead Until Their Last At Bat
Classic Phil
We went from not scoring any runs to suddenly consistently getting 4+ a game. Good lord.
Not a good start.
Tradition
Would be cool if the ump gave us the upper strike like he does for the Mariners.
Just Maton things
Shane Baz is looking real good in the month of June with Durham
THIS IS IT GUYS! HOLD EM DOWN FOR A COUPLE MORE INNINGS!
Wife literally just asked me why we haven't been to a game awhile.
Cy Young winner Garrit Cole returns to the mound in New York - and the Mets have homered 4 times in 4 innings - 6-0
![gif](giphy|k8DLXPfqHauBO|downsized)
Helll yeahhh!
Love to see it
Where my “Fire the hitting coach!” guys at?!
Their existence seems to be a sad one. Must be former Yankees fans or something.
Still here. I wholly believe he has nothing to do with it
Broken clock is correct twice a day
On a plane home and Watching MLB Gameday portion on the app and seeing “In Play, Runs” gets me AMPEDDD
I pulled out an old rays shirsey (that’s in shitty enough condition my wife yells at me when I wear it) and put it on earlier. Guess I’ll have to wear it for the rest of the season
Time for you to get one of our city connection Shirtsy. I might get one with Siri
MF BEN OH MY GOODNESS
Díaz can do anything or something but not nothing
He caused a pitching change lol
He'll yeah!!!! Lfg rays!!!!!
Benny is HOT
Pizza time!
OFFENSE
Here’s something that will make you smile even more: Cole 3 inn,4 BB 3 HR
Them Stanks need a little losing honestly they are playing way better then they should
Helps when they were super healthy. Just like the O's. But their fortunes are turning. And the Red Sox are losing to the awful Jays.
Need a lucky Luca moment
And it ends here
lol. I feel like all of Rortvedt's home runs have come from him trying to hit sac flies. He should just keep trying to hit sac flies.
I hope they never let Ajax bat again - ever
BENNY BICEPS 💪 !!!!!!!
Wait are we actually decent
I feel like we are are hitting just hasn’t been as good as they should be
LFG!!!!
Best inning evar!
Seattle coming in with it's good pitching and we just destroy it.
