☀️ Rays Up

[supahotfire]

Rays are a good chise team this year they were definitely on my list, just tough to play in the Trop

contrary to popular belief, i like the Trop :mischeif:

Looking good so far. Not the record, but the presentation. Seems like the Rays are perennially a great rebuild candidate for video game baseball.

thanks man, appreciate it. yea i seem to always have them on my list of teams to play with

Sim league? No.

New Rays chise? YES

Rays Drop 7th Straight, Blasted By Twins In Blowout -- Tampa opened it's third consecutive series on the road with a clunker against Minnesota at Target Field, dropping its' seventh straight loss, as they remain winless. Starter Ryan Pepiot was the losing pitcher, however, showed a string of seven straight strikeouts where he looked untouchable, though it wouldn't last long. Minnesota teed off for three homers in the game, while Luke Keaschall ended a triple shy of completing the cycle. For the Rays, Yandy Diaz and Jonathan Aranda continue to swing hot bats, while Junior Caminero belted his first home run of the campaign — a 453-foot, double-deck blast to give the Rays a glimmer of optimism as they move into the remainder of this three-game series.

Oh my god. This has got to be frustrating.

Where do you think the solution lies for you? Seems like the bats were left at home.

I think it’s timely hits. We’re leaving too many guys on base. The top of the order is doing its job, but Yandy might have to scoot back so we drive some runs in. Having 7 hits (plus walks) should be enough to score more runs.

Pitching and defense is weird. I had a stretch from the 2nd to the 4th where Pepiot struck out 7 in a row! And then they started bombing him. So maybe just have to switch up the pitches more? They’re cashing in on their chances and we’re not. I think that’s all it will come down to. Baseball is such a game of chance and opportunity

Baseball is such a weird game. Anyone can win any day. Except maybe you

Apr 10, 2026 Game Preview
New York (6-6) at Tampa Bay (1-11) -- Division play is upon us for the first time this year as the struggling Rays host Carlos Rodon and the juggernaut Yankees at The Trop. For Tampa, Ben Williamson will get the lefty-platoon start at second base and has yet to get a hit in eight at-bats, while Ryan Vilade and Jonny DeLuca will also get platoon starts out in right field for Jake Fraley, and left field for Chandler Simpson. Jonathan Aranda has cooled off a bit after starting out hitting above .300, but will need to get back on track, while Junior Caminero has been on fire with three home runs in the last week.

New York Yankees Projected Lineup ON THE MOUND LHP Carlos Rodon (1-0, 1.59, 16 K) 1. 1B Cody Bellinger .222 / 1 HR / 3 RBI 2. RF Aaron Judge .220 / 5 HR / 10 RBI 3.

[Captain Canada]

Don't know if McClanahan can save you with such little output from the bats.

Try to not let Aaron Judge beat that ass up too bad

[redsox907]

bro....

this is probably the worst start you could have had short of someone getting hurt
