October 22, 20205 yr Rays magic kicking in again. All their fielders have line drive tractor beamsI think the Rays are solid defensively - probably the top ten in the league. But it’s laughable how some are now making them out as the second coming of the ‘16 Cubs after the ALCS.
October 22, 20205 yr Didn't realize Brett Phillips plays for the Rays. Of course, that means I have to post this...

October 22, 20205 yr What’s the saying? A series hasn’t really started until the road team gets a win lol? We got a series, boys.
October 22, 20205 yr Great game... like 10 runs scored, good pitching, and several dramatic moments !!! We've got a competitive series ladies and gents!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
October 22, 20205 yr and for 2020 that is all we could ask for. I think there are few "fans" of these teams on this board, but love watching and chatting here. GF is already been informed she has to listen to game 4 on the road. Guess I am eating some that evening.
October 22, 20205 yr Snell won the game by keeping the Dodgers quiet for 5 innings. He was unhittable for awhile. There’s a reason he won the Cy Young. But we are set up nicely with Ferris Buehler, Urias, and Kershaw in games 3,4, and 5. And saved most of our key bully arms tonight (Treinen, Graterol). But this may very well go 7. There’s a reason the Rays were the AL’s best team.
October 22, 20205 yr Snell won the game by keeping the Dodgers quiet for 5 innings. He was unhittable for awhile.Snell pitched a great game. I thought there was a reasonable chance we lose this game given that we were using a bullpen grab bag approach, but I’m glad the offense finally came alive. I think the rest of the series sets up well for LA but it’s going to be a fight.

GF is already been informed she has to listen to game 4 on the road. Guess I am eating some that evening. Yeah, I don't have a dog in this hunt... But really want to see a fun World Series for sure -- beats some of the crap that I've seen the Horns FB team display this season. MLB must find a way to bring in more new fans -- I'm really concerned about it's long-term future in the US right now.
October 22, 20205 yr beats some of the crap that I've seen the Horns FB team display this season.Damn, I forgot the Horns are playing football. Looks like we play Baylor this week. Ugh.
October 23, 20205 yr I had baseball withdrawal last night. Not used to these off days. That’s so 2019.Tonight should be a great game. Hopefully Buehler brings his best stuff but Charlie Morton has been lights out this postseason. Dodgers bats need to get to him early and not wait until the 5th inning to get a hit.

My sentiments too... Just couldn't watch nyg vs eagles crap last night. Pitching match-up tonight is a great one!!
October 24, 20205 yr Man if players could learn to just weakly chop oppo they could burn these crazy shifts

October 24, 20205 yr Charlie not sharp... Buehler has been filthy thus far Rays gonna have to hope Charlie can go 3 more innings just to protect their bullpen for future games. Unless things change, may be difficult for Rays to score any runs off of Buehler tonight...
October 24, 20205 yr Rays really need to start chipping away with a run or two in hopes of getting to the Dodgers bullpen by the 6th or 7th... Series gonna probably go to a Game 6 or if fans are lucky a Game 7.
October 24, 20205 yr Couldn’t have asked for more offensively with Buehler on the hill. Getting Morton out of there after 4 and a third is great. Ideally we keep the pressure on and eat into their pen given that we’re playing three straight days. They won’t turn to any of their leverage arms but ideally we make them use 4+ guys through the end of the game.
October 24, 20205 yr DAMN... Turner pickin' it like he's Brooks Robinson -- outstanding doubleplay!! Very underrated 3B. Dodgers looking solid. Not gonna jinx what Ferris is doing.

Real chance for Dodgers to set themselves up for a much easier path to win this World Series. I'm not a supporter of either team... Really hoping for a Game 7 😁
October 24, 20205 yr That’s two. Really hoping Urias keeps it rolling tomorrow. Offense is looking as balanced as it has all year. Love all the two out production.
October 24, 20205 yr The Dodgers are the better team. Baseball is fickle and the better team doesn’t always win. But we go with Urias tomorrow against a bullpen game tomorrow from them. We win that, we win this series.
October 24, 20205 yr I think the Rays’ pen is plenty deep to last three days even if their starters only work for 4-5 innings. What will cost the Rays the series is that their lineup just isn’t that good right now.
