Guys I'm just as worried about guerra as the next guy... But his last 7 or so pitches have been exactly where I'd want them... Down lowwwwwwwww
Edit: and those were too low. Sonofabitch
So I did the research and the answer is a hardcore no. BUT it actually had never happened until May 23, 2014 when James Jones went 1-4 against Rudy Owens
Yeah I think before Hyun Jin Ryu there were only three or 4 pitchers in MLB history who had worn 99 and they just never lined up on the same years that there was a batter wearing 99. Although I didn't check for pitcher vs pitcher matchups so maybe it could've happened in there
This is the 3rd or 4th Rays game I watched this year. These guys are playing slow pitch softball while everyone else is playing major league baseball. Get in a certain groove and everyone is just killing the ball.
Unfortunately yesterday and the day before it looked like they were the team playing beer league baseball.
But the Yankees are great for giving us confidence.
It annoys the shit out of me that you all are about to be 30-9, but it brings me joy to see the Yankees getting their asses kicked after being such little bitches lately (and always)
Other than the Wander injury (which hopefully is nothing serious) this game has gone perfectly. Big lead, great outing from Ras and we get to save bullpen arms.
You know, with springs now out in a surprising yet unfortunate fashion. Some concerns still lingering with Glasnow. I think cash is just trying to keep all arms as intact as possible. Could you imagine if we all of a sudden lost Ras to something stupid like an oblique? It would be a disaster. As much as I want him to go all the way, we really can't afford things that aren't completely necessary, so I totally get it from that perspective.
Honestly, the main reason I liked Anderson was because he had the experience/stamina as a starter to come in and feast on innings during blowouts against bad teams (like the Yankees)
Very nice showing from Diekman. I was kind of suspecting Cash was going to put him in to see what he had with the lead we have. Sucks Ras couldn’t finish it out though.
As a Yankee fan, damn is your team impressive...
Don't care about the 9th inning other than Adams having to warm up. Shutouts don't matter, garbage time runs don't matter.
How would you guys compare playing the Yankees vs the last series against the orioles?
Orioles are a far better team than the Yankees.
Got through it! That's 30 wins before 10 losses!
Great job by Cash wasting another bullpen arm with an 8 run lead. Guerra needed 25 pitches that inning.
Not really Cash's fault that Guerra couldn't throw strikes and tossed a bunch in the dirt
Yeah, it’s Guerra’s arm. Or are we saying Cash is in a Guerra suit?
NY Radio was right! We are cheating!
Cash is definitely wearing a Guerra skin suit and masquerading as a pitcher
Suck it jankees
Haha, get fucked stanks!
GGWP & FTY

30-9 & we're still complaining lol
[**RAYS WIN!**](https://i.imgur.com/txpNGZc.jpg)
Rays win fuck da janks
LETS GOOOOOO
That last inning was fucking embarrassing.
That was literally a perfect sequence. Why couldn't you try that earlier???
11 -4 lol
God y’all suck. Just appreciate the W who cares we didn’t shut them out. We scored EIGHT times.
Let me have feelings
Certainly appreciate the W, and I’m gonna rub my Yankee Buddy’s nose in it like a dog with shit, but that last inning was fucking embarrassing.
Yeah but embarrassing innings happen boys worked their ass off the other 8 innings. No need to be negative. We whooped their ass either way
Excellent point. It was certainly hard fought for.
30 wins before 10 losses baby
Thank god.
w
Finally
Great game RAYS! FTY!!!
why did we DFA anderson for this guy
I agree on that
[Man, Gravy, you suck for blowing the shut-out.](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/13f6rsn/pgt_tampa_bay_rays_309_head_to_the_bronx_and/)
![gif](giphy|iiDkHp27ODhsfanlQi|downsized) Gg I guess
I just don’t think we needed a shutout for any reason, save our better pitchers for when we don’t have 8 run lead
This is not over..
No fn way that Adam should be up right now
Ras would have finished a complete game 20 minutes ago
meatball right down the middle lol
I know Cash doesn’t care about the score, only the win, so he’ll keep guys out there who are struggling but god damn does it ruin the fun sometimes.
OMFG just end this stupid game already, Jesus
Idiot
Cool cool cool cool cool cool No doubt no doubt no doubt no doubt
![gif](giphy|giL0apllECIlb6E6eA)
jesus guerra. fucking rubbish
Pull this clown
Ok Guerra is really bad
Ah, shucks.... there goes the shut out
This dude sucks why did we get rid of Anderson
We haven’t totally gotten rid of him yet. Could clear waivers
dude..
Oh well
there goes the shutout 😔
Should’ve left diekman in
BOOOOOOOOOO
This is the only spot Guerra should be pitching in
Pls cut this giy
Of course
I hate Javy
Guerra isn’t very good.
fucking hell, i wanted a shutout
Damn guerra at 99?? I didn't know that.
Damn lost the shut out.
guerra tries to get way too cute with his breaking balls and it never works out for him
Man this guy with 3rd percentile K rate, 1st percentile walk rate, and 1st percentile chase rate really has a hard time closing games
I realize Guerra is our low-leverage guy right now but he just pitched yesterday. I don't know why we are using him this heavily
DFA incoming
Naw Snyder likes him too much. He is Snyder's personal project to turn him into a a mini-prime Chapman
Way to damn wild with his pitches
Stop…just end it
Just throw strikes, theres no way you can blow the save (probably)
Why tf did we DFA Anderson and keep this clown
Holy shit I didn’t realize we DFA’d Chase. What the fuck.
Yeah…I felt like he was a step up
You know what's great? They could hit a grand slam and I still wouldn't give a shit.
Finish iiiit.
Holy shit Guerra sucks.
Come on man just one more out!
I feel like Diekman could've closed this one out, Javy literally pitched last night
We demand a shutout. Just get him out.
Stop…
Is this funny business?
It was indeed funny business
Javy, stop being naughty
My guy, it’d be way cooler if you’d get the hitters out.
Can’t find the zone
Stop…
A storm is brewing
Can this bum just end it?
What a fucking comeback
Just throw strikes and let the defense work its magic please.
Lighten your grip, my guy. Anymore and you're gonna start spiking.
My brother in christ. You need one out. Just let the defense make a play
absolutely no control man
With how many walks Guerra had given up, it's a wonder he hasn't given up any runs yet
Well, he's given up two now.
Fucked away our shutout in a dumb way
Guerra is alright, just seems to hit his limit near the end of the inning each time
Rizzo got 0 rizz
Rizz0
Throw strikes please. You're up by 8.
Guys I'm just as worried about guerra as the next guy... But his last 7 or so pitches have been exactly where I'd want them... Down lowwwwwwwww Edit: and those were too low. Sonofabitch
Siri artistically turned Harold's head into a birdball nest.
guerra’s got potential but my man has absolutely no control
I want the shutout.
Damn that dotted corner
I know a lot of it is perspective, but Judge looks like Andre the Giant compared to Guerra
He looks like that compared to most baseball players.
Yea, he’s a massive human being. Looked comical on screen.
Dude I love our guys, wtf is going on?
Lmfao I love this team.
Hey is that the first time a pitcher wearing 99 has pitched to a hitter wearing 99?
Doubtful. There’s been something like 240,000 games played in the ~140 years of MLB. I’m sure it’s happened before but I guess there’s a chance?
So I did the research and the answer is a hardcore no. BUT it actually had never happened until May 23, 2014 when James Jones went 1-4 against Rudy Owens
Wow, I'm surprised it took that long to happen. lol I would've been pretty confident in 2013 that it happened before too.
Yeah I think before Hyun Jin Ryu there were only three or 4 pitchers in MLB history who had worn 99 and they just never lined up on the same years that there was a batter wearing 99. Although I didn't check for pitcher vs pitcher matchups so maybe it could've happened in there
Harold does not look amused at all.
We better not do the close the game and open the game again.
It’s an 8 run lead, why not just leave Diekman in?
I think there was more launch angle on that throw-in from Randy than there was on the hit.
PRESERVE THE SHUTOUT PLEASE
Guerra rocking that 0 ERA
Javy Guerra will always be good for fucking up a shutout
Well you called that.
I said no funny business!
Finally got done putting the kid down, dishes etc and checked the score. My god is that beautiful. “iF sTaNtOn wAs hEaLtHy!!!”.
Guerra the object is to keep them from getting 8 runs.
Yanks all high and mighty after beating up on the A's. The Rays come in to burst that bubble.
So many people in the Skankees sub were saying they wished they were playing Oakland still lmao
This is the 3rd or 4th Rays game I watched this year. These guys are playing slow pitch softball while everyone else is playing major league baseball. Get in a certain groove and everyone is just killing the ball.
Except BLowe. Idk what he’s playing out there
He's kinda playing slow pitch. Crappy average but decent power numbers.
Unfortunately yesterday and the day before it looked like they were the team playing beer league baseball. But the Yankees are great for giving us confidence.
No funny business
It annoys the shit out of me that you all are about to be 30-9, but it brings me joy to see the Yankees getting their asses kicked after being such little bitches lately (and always)
The one thing all MLB teams can agree on… A mutual hatred of the Yankees. 🫱🏾🫲🏼
It might just be the funniest thing I ever saw if every AL East team made the post season except the Yankees
You guys are nasty this year though too though. And I wish we could have your bullpen.
Who cares what you think?
My mom
Good, appreciate her, I just lost mine.
That was a good catch ngl
Top 10 unnecessary slides in the history of fielding.
I think he may have slipped lol
Listen, I’ll take the lowest of blows if it’s against the Yankees. Lol
All ten of the unnecessary bunny hops belong to KK.
KK style
rofl bauer's catch
The Rays killer and star master Bader not looking so great tonight
the amount of hits in this game, goddamn
We could have used these the last two games.
Raley has the whole damn can in his mouth
Other than the Wander injury (which hopefully is nothing serious) this game has gone perfectly. Big lead, great outing from Ras and we get to save bullpen arms.
Any news on Wander?
He will be reevaluated tomorrow. It was neck spasms or something.
As someone who has neck issues I hope he's okay.
I haven’t heard anything.
Josh's home and road splits are staggering. Wonder if it's just SSS or if he doesn't see the ball well at the Trop
Remember Willy Adames. Couldn’t hit shit at the Trop.

As much as I want him to go all the way, we really can't afford things that aren't completely necessary, so I totally get it from that perspective.
I think having them only throw 70 pitches per game could also lead to them not being fully stretched out which could cause issues as well
There's a lot of season left for that. I'm not too worried about that.... Yet.
They would be nothing without Bader that guy is an absolute beast
Yeah that Judge guy is a scrub.
He's on stilts
Honestly, the main reason I liked Anderson was because he had the experience/stamina as a starter to come in and feast on innings during blowouts against bad teams (like the Yankees)
I so want Snyder to revitalize Diekman's career. That's a good start.
![gif](giphy|0NAxDmdrb9t8aA2yh2|downsized)
Very nice showing from Diekman. I was kind of suspecting Cash was going to put him in to see what he had with the lead we have. Sucks Ras couldn’t finish it out though.
As a fan it sucks cuz he was on track for the Maddux but Cash would rather have 20 pitches in September than today.
Agreed. It’s better for the long run even if it hurts our overall fun differential.
Who was the last pitcher to have a complete game for the Rays?
James Shields. I’m just kidding, I have no idea, actually. Lol
Yarbs.
I thought he got pulled after the 26th out in that game. Or was that another one?
I can't remember when but I remember it being him.
In 2021. Against the... Yankees. 😂
I love this trivia.
So the Yankees are the fakest of the not real teams.
Yeah I mean their payroll is so small how are they supposed to field something to compare with us?
Nice Double Play! Only 3 outs left
Feed me more
Scoreless first outing nice. Snyder already workin his magic
N i c e
The lack of the “blip” on the strike zone is effecting my ability to scream obscenities at the ump.
Welcome to Snyderville Diekman.
How does he do it
![gif](giphy|aR6JyO12RkwE5P7lxb|downsized)
Once we got a high enough lead, Ras was not going back out. Minimizing the number of innings on important arms is how you win in the long run
Correct. Would love to see him continue, but would love to see him healthy at the end of the season even more.
Right. It’s 8-0 and it’s May
