GDT: 2023 AL WCS: (4) Tampa Bay Rays vs. (5) Texas Rangers

[Boss Man Hughes]

Wow what an awful stop sign by 3rd base coach….

You gotta score from 1st with 2 outs on a ball in the gap

Yes He is an idiot and should be fired. The odds of getting another hit on Glasnow are low and especiially from Siemien who looked like shit in his previous at bat.

Has it filled yet?

MLB can't move tickets to playoff games. They are going for $7.00 and $10.00

Seager crushed a double off top of the wall. just needed a little higher launch angle there.

e: off siri's wrist

I see it as a positive. Attendane is notably up from previous years and you can still find an affordable ticket without breaking the bank.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Huge wild pitch…

Another run scores + no double play now

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Rangers have a chance at a BIG inning here.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

And of course they swing at 8 balls out of the strike zone and let Glasnow out of the inning.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Has it filled yet?

Trop, filled?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Jose Siri knows it's not an out if you catch a sinking line drive on a shorthop right? I've seen him do that multiple times this year.

Another error and Rangers are up 4-0, might be the dagger.

 

[John Price]

never bet on the rays in the playoffs lol

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Uh...Kevin McCarthy being expelled is now on the TV....

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Something tells me those retro Devil Rays jerseys won't be worn tomorrow. Talk about inviting some bad karma, for a playoff game let's wear the uniform representing a period of time when this franchise was an absolute joke!

Makes sense with the half empty stadium. Florida's just an awful market for baseball. Hearing the announcers making excuses made it worse. Whenever NY, Boston, Atlanta etc play there the place fills up with the opposing teams fans - they never seem to have a problem getting to the stadium.

Abysmal showing by Tampa - 4 errors really?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The Rays had the smallest playoff crowd in over a century. Before 1923, that's just sad.

 

[John Price]

Rays see lowest playoff attendance since 1919

The AL Wild Card Series opener between the Rangers and Rays drew just 19,704 fans to Tropicana Field on Tuesday, the lowest for a postseason game since the 1919 World Series other than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rangers grind vs Glasnow sounds like a Scottish futbol headline.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Evan Carter is a really impressive player at just 21 years old. The plate discipline and eye have really stood out.

On top of hit tool and he should be a really good fielding CF'er. Superstar potential

He made a great catch to end the inning in yesterday's game. I've been impressed with him.

 

[John Price]

wtf rays

And right on queue, a 2 run homer

wtf rays

how much money you down

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Rays stretched the elastic to the max and it appears to have broken.

 

[GKJ]

The Rays are like the LA Chargers where they’re supposed to be good and never do anything

 

[Terry Yake]

rays have now gone 30 innings without a postseason run

way too many people wrote texas off. it was hard to see the rays making noise in the playoffs without franco

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Rags and Os should be awesome.

 

[Halladay]

The Rays can't field.
