Rule of thumb when acquiring a Rays player: assume they are great at everything except hitting.

Listen if you're wondering what some Rays player will do for your team keep this in mind - the team doesn't pay for big bats and they're big on specialists,

Rule of thumb when acquiring a Rays player: assume they are great at everything except hitting.

Was just posting this same thing.

Hey guys, Cleveland Guardians fan here. Any of you guys able to give me a rundown on Zunino?

Guy either CRUSHES dingers or strikes out. Solid defensively. Wish we weren't ALWAYS on a freaking shoestring budget so we could keep our talent sometimes

Thanks!

Hoping to get down to Tropicana when the Guardians play there this summer.

This is definitely the most disappointing Bucs team in the history of the entire franchise. Absolutely inexcusable. Bowles is just a loser

Can see the big names leaving very soon after Brady leaves. Horrible year.

Why the hell is it so hard for them to beat the worst teams in the league? Dude holy shit this is possibly the worst downfall of a team due to coaching in the history of sports

i give it this year and next before we are back to 2-4 win seasons

We're already there. If it weren't for Brady we'd finish like 5-12 or 4-13. This goes so far beyond missing a few offensive linemen when the season started. This team is broken

im chalking this season as just injury riddled and the Brady divorce distraction, just so i feel a little bit better about this team sucking so bad. next year if Brady does decide he wants 1 more crack if he has a better coaching staff, it will be the last ride with this "core" of guys. its sad when the decision of 1 player basically controls the decision of 90% of our offseason moves

 

[Rschmitz]

We looked a lot like this when Gronk was out last year, I think the wheels coming off of Brady is just compounding the problems.

Cap issues alone I think necessitate at least one season of low expectations to get that in order, but a full rebuild is probably needed until we get clarity at key long term positions including QB.

All of that being said, there is no way this team should have only scored 266 points so far this year with the talent they have. Ultra-conservative play calling is the real issue, and I don't know if its because we haven't found success at stretching the field or if it is a conscious decision by the coaching staff, but we make it incredibly easy on the other team to contain our short yardage game.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Absolutely no reason this team shouldn't be at least .500. None. The playcalling is so bad, predictable.

The Rowdies were robbed that one year with no Final

 

[Hoek]

Well if Evans and Brady can keep connecting like that maybe there is a chance. At least they avoided the embarrassment of not even making the playoffs with Brady

Todd Bowles expected to return as Bucs head coach in 2023 season

The Bucs went 8-9 during the regular season but won the NFC South, only the eighth division title in club history.

Guess we are tanking

Yup. Definitely not a Bowliever in him remaining as HC.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Any chance they beat the Cowboys?

 

[Hoek]

Yes, because the Cowboys are the Leafs of football

 

[Stormbreaker]

Fun fact if the Bucs beat the Cowboys tomorrow Tom Brady will have more playoff wins than the entire Cowboys franchise.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Coop knows what's up

 

[Point21]

This is painful to watch....

 

[The don godfather]

That brady pick was a killer. I cant believe I typed that I think I never did. Brady pick in playoffs cant be..

 

[JTBF81]

Team is pathetic. Secondary is a joke, oline is pathetic, and Brady killed any slim chance they had with that laughable throw. Dallas can finally enjoy a playoff win, it'll be their last as S.F. shouldn't have much of an issue with them.

 

[Stormbreaker]

It's going to be a great day when Leftwich is fired.
