OT: 2020 Tampa Bay Lightning/Tampa Bay Rays Playoffs Thread

True. That's pretty much how everyone is scoring these days. Small ball is a thing of the past, at least for now.

 

Anderson couldn't find the strike zone last night. Eight straight balls way out of the zone. Haven't ever seen that from him. Either getting a little tired at this point, or, some nerves coming through as the situations get bigger and bigger. I think he'll be fine, though. He's been very dependable all year.

 

Would have to be the last out of an inning. Otherwise have to pitch to 3 batters.

 

Not even small ball... Just some consecutive hits. That's what the astros have done... Hasn't helped but they've stranded a lot. I love the hrs but we are renting almost solely on them. I'll take it though lol.

He can't pitch him for 1 out unless it is the end of the inning. There is a 3 battery minimum this year.

 

You kind of got to drop him down in the order a bit. Love to see KK there

 

No mention of Jags as your third ?

 

Well, yet another win from the Rays standard playbook -- starting pitching that is good enough, relief pitching that finds a way to hold the line, consistent and often spectacular defense, and clutch offense from seemingly different sources every game. And, Kevin Cash amazingly continues to seemingly make every right decision. What a ball club!

8 down, 5 to go!! ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

GO RAYS!!!

 

Here's a nice video compilation of some of the incredible defensive plays made by the Rays in their game tonight:

Rays put on defensive clinic vs. Astros

 

This is getting really exciting. Glasnow tonight. Need to close out because the Braves are heading that way, too. KK needs some healing time, too. Even though the networks won't love it, a World Series between two southeastern states held at a Texas venue would be great. Go Rays.

 

Well the dodgers are up 11-0 in the first inning, so that series getting extended a bit seems likely.

 

Why is there a Braves game thread in the Pub?
