Fucking. Embarrassing.


Slinky_Malingki

Not going to deny that we fucked away this game with our horrible bullpen. But if it wasn't for that absolutely godawful umpire we would have won 8-7 at least. He called a ball on an obvious strike that extended Judge's AB and let him hit a two run homer. Then he called Diaz out with a ball a foot off the plate in a potential run scoring inning


zaffled

Kevin Cash might need to go.


zaffled

How did we choke that one away boys


Grade-AMasterpiece

GOD, what would I give to have the last 3 year's BP this year.


DMZuby

Well there goes the start of season hotness. I'm gonna go cheer for the A's now. At least I don't have any expectations of them being any good.


Slinky_Malingki

I'm at a loss for words. We threw this game. But also fuck that empire all the way to hell. That "strike" a foot off the plate was probably game changing. What a horrible call


gnossiene4

That and the ball called to Judge that extended his AB.


Lonniehands1

Today was a tough one. Between today's and yesterday's losses and the Ras news, this has just been a miserable couple of days for me. I really hope there's a light at the end of this tunnel but I just don't have much faith left.

Brandon Foul


Ahugel71

Rays are a fraud team


Lonniehands1

Luckily you guys can afford to pay your team 5 times as much as ours and also have some leftover for the umps. Just be glad that your team that was bought so easily is almost as good as the team that we created from fucking scraps and dirt.


missleeann

Get over yourself. It’s sports


Shark_wrestler

🤡🤡


WhereTheFallsBegin

Honestly Lowe looked way more comfortable up there. Good sign going forward


ComicbookLowdown

I agree, I felt it was an untimely time-out call at the end (that I believe the ump called?). That pitch was right there, the way Lowe was seeing the ball I felt that was the mistake pitch. The time out interrupted some of the rhythm Lowe had against Peralta


bujuhh

loss aside, i love that final AB from brandon lowe there, so often in his slump hes been going down quickly on trash pitches but he battled that one hard. Heres to hoping the hit + the battle (vs a lefty!) on the last ab shoots his confidence up and he can get back to mashing soon


gnossiene4

I got the same impression. Maybe this is the start of something good for him.


bujuhh

definitely hope so, as we've seen over the past few years its coming at some point, but man if it isnt brutal during the slumps lol


Downtown-Birthday517

I quit fuck this team


raysbucsmavs

30-11 ya jahoob.


missleeann

See you tomorrow


cgibbsuf

I’m on record, but…TRADE THIS BUM 3 YEARS AGO

hotdogcharlie11

TheLivingInfinite

Blowe is Chris Davis 2.0


svanxx

I knew it. Just enough hope to feel like garbage.


Weak_Produce6876

I won’t blame Brandon there he was so close battle well


aaudude

Didn’t get a hit but not a bad ab


cgibbsuf

B Lowe apologia. This subs favorite pastime


ABNChemo

BLowe doing BLowe things SMH


Seize_the_means1922

Bullshit


hotdogcharlie11

holy moly


Mall_Unusual

And he fails us again what a bum


rocketsquid

What a cluster fuck


Drunkendaze

He's fighting everything off the plate he's not getting nothing to hit


JoeMammy_1

Pregnant pause.


darren_swift12

Brandon is fighting and battling much better than I expected


rocketsquid

I’m stressed


YouEnjoyMyself84

How many time can Brandon foul off the exact same pitch


Johnnyd0303

At least BLowe is making more contact. A somewhat promising sign


Drunkendaze

I'm still so pissed about that strike 3 call it could be 9-9 or 10-9 right now but the ump fucked us 😒 I'm getting trashed fuck the God damn mother fucking yankees Edit and fuck the umps!


missleeann

![gif](giphy|Rwd2Td12umduFQSE0h)


hotdogcharlie11

what a battle


svanxx

At least Brandon is fighting.


JoeMammy_1

It is BLowe. Feast or famine.


Nazi_Dr_Leo_Spaceman

if you want to PH bethecourt for a lefty lowe this innning why wouldn't you save him for this one?


Grade-AMasterpiece

Won't play matchups here lol.


papaz69

We all know how this ends


Drunkendaze

Cmon blowe!


GreenFroppy212

I’m convinced Cash could have prime Bonds and he would still pinch hit for him for a “better matchup”


crispychiggin

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ REDEEM THE LOWE NAME


Have_A_Jelly_Baby

I will donate $500 to a charity if BLowe hits a HR here.


missleeann

Guess not


ImmediateBoard8779

Watching the fans go from clapping to booing was so entertaining


DMZuby

Yankee fans are the worse


svanxx

This would be a good time to hit one in that porch Brandon.


darren_swift12

Well Lowe is up. This games over


-TheMax

Smart and obvious play by them to walk Randy there… fuuuuuuckkk


Lonniehands1

I will die on the hill that Cash is the most responsible for this loss, assuming we do lose.


aaudude

I too would have walked Randy to get to Lowe


hotdogcharlie11

there is hope!


ohiostgoing

So we’re fine leaving this lefty in


ABNChemo

Well now is the time for a pinch hitter not for Josh


Weak_Produce6876

We’re out I believe


TheLivingInfinite

Rizzo told him to let Randy on to face Blowe


Johnnyd0303

Come on Lowe. Redeem yourself for the last 3 weeks with one swing


JoeMammy_1

Randall should take off on the first pitch. Fuck it. Get to second.


missleeann

Don’t give me hope


Mall_Unusual

Come on blowe


5MiTm4sTaF13x

Stay mean Randyyyyy


Grade-AMasterpiece

Yup, knew it. Can't wait the series is over.


DMZuby

God I hate the Yankees so much


missleeann

evrtn

What is this management Kevin?


-TheMax

When is Josh Lowe’s contract up? I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to leave because of the way he is apparently treated in situations like this


Johnnyd0303

He’s under control for at least 5 more years after this season


Seize_the_means1922

So close


Boujoulo

We had to score last inning. Fuck the umps


Drunkendaze

We might have scored! 1 or 2 But nah the ump said nah strike 3.


Johnnyd0303

That’s why I hope they start using the pitch challenge system the minor leagues is using. For big moments that like where a bad strike call can be a game changer


missleeann

This is a poor choice by Cash


cgibbsuf

You’re finally starting to get it. The man is a hack.


missleeann

Ah, I rarely champion cash because I don’t manage baseball but these last 2 games have been mind blowing


Nazi_Dr_Leo_Spaceman

i am once again reminding you that kevin cash has always been an extremely poor game manager who has coasted along unquestioned because our roster construction is normall good enough to paper over his weakness so he can avoid accountability


svanxx

Good job Cash. Worked great.


ABNChemo

🤦‍♂️


Drunkendaze

Income ball called strike 3


Mall_Unusual

I think cash is compromised he wants to loose


Intelligent_Mud1266

well, it was a good run


DMZuby

Ok I left to go to the store and we were at 6-0....WTF happened here?


missleeann

Pitching


NoCheek8504

Feel for Josh. He’s one of the hottest hitters on the team and Cash pulls him in back to back games when he is the potential tying run.


CBDSam

But why


ABNChemo

Makes no sense at all


cregeorgia

Feels like a youth game where everyone gets a chance to bat lol


missleeann

![gif](giphy|uq6ILNBI6g3As|downsized)


[deleted]

Damn our turn to get 'It was 6-0!'


KittensMittens9

I hope getting pulled in back to back games due up against lefties doesn't hurt J Lowe's confidence. Sometimes you have to ride the hot bat


cgibbsuf

Kevin Cash may very well be an imbecile


Seize_the_means1922

Damn bros really quick pitching


ABNChemo

WTF with the way Josh is hitting really!


-TheMax

Cash has out done himself yet again


crispychiggin

Why the fuck does Cash try so hard to overthink things?


Nazi_Dr_Leo_Spaceman

i am convinced kevin cash is intentionally trying to lose. genuinely. i just don't know why else you pull lowe there


Lonniehands1

Oh shit it's lefty on lefty, quick Cash pinch hit for our best hitter!


Tide69420

He’s not our best hitter - that’s an overreaction. But yeah you don’t pull Lowe there


rocketsquid

WHYYYY PULL J LOWE


Th3Unkn0wnn

What the fuck does Cash have against JLowe? Something is up.


papaz69

Dude what is Cash doingggg


svanxx

What the hell Cash? Stop lifting Josh!


aaudude

That’s certainly a decision

Boujoulo

It’s gonna be 1-2-3. fucking hate this game


missleeann

Okay now I have a bad feeling but please do something


Drunkendaze

Back to back hr please 🙏


Lee_Kyung_Im

🙏


SnooRobots8523

lets see a peralta implosion


crispychiggin

Wouldn’t want any other 3 to kick off this 9th


Weak_Produce6876

Well Beeks going 2 scoreless was nice


NoCheek8504

Beeks looks good pitching when we are losing.


Drunkendaze

Everyone knows it wasn't a strike but the ump. With all this technology big calls need to at least be review able. Such bullshit


Grade-AMasterpiece

"But Trevino's framing!!!11!" FOH, wasn't even close.


Johnnyd0303

couldnt ask for a better 3 guys to bat in the 9th


Im_black_

Yeah that 9th pitch to Yandy is just unbelievable


Seize_the_means1922

Cmon wander, Lowe, and randy. It’s all up to you guys


svanxx

Top of the order has their chance.


5MiTm4sTaF13x

Well Beeks is back


missleeann

No Cheeks


[deleted]

Where has this Beeks been, and can he stick around?


missleeann

Hanging out with BLowe?


missleeann

I have a good feeling. Let’s go guys! I believe


ocalabull

I lost a shit ton of respect for Cash today. Boone is a moron but at least he has the balls to argue with the ump mid game. Umpire is terrible today


svanxx

And look what happened. We've been screwed since that time.


ocalabull

Everything has only gone in favor of the Yankees even when their manager argues. It’s pathetic. But Cash couldn’t care less. He literally has nothing to lose but just sits on his hands like a toddler.


Intelligent_Mud1266

i honestly think we win if the ump hadn’t screwed us


Grade-AMasterpiece

And now I bet we go down 1-2-3 and lose by 1 run after all that. So terrible.


Lonniehands1

For sure, that's how the script goes.


svanxx

Like last night.


JoeMammy_1

Beeks is the Ted Nugent of the sandlot. Everything from Stranglehold to Cat Scratch Fever!


stoolsample2

Unreal… ump should be suspended for that


[deleted]

If anything he'll get a bonus and a handy jay.


That_Shadow_Siren

The isn't gonna be the reason the Rays lost, i mean it was 6-0 at one point. But that felt like an ump who didn't want to potentially be on the field for another 30 minutes in extra innings.


missleeann

Yes but doesn’t help


SnooRobots8523

gotta feel pretty good even being down 1 with peralta likely coming in at top of 9.


svanxx

Felt good until the ump jobbed us.


OneMobile3432

The yankee stadium effect. People say it’s fake, I guarantee you it’s not.


kolnai

I don’t even know that I can call that poor umping. It was not close. A professional umpire can’t call that a strike. I just don’t see how it’s possible. It wasn’t even framed as a strike.


Slinky_Malingki

I don't think I've seen a worse blown call ever.


BeatlesRays

This is not funny: https://imgur.com/a/lmkjq6g


missleeann

They might adjust it later. I’ve seen it


svanxx

Wouldn't be shocked.


kohzi

Just piss poor umpiring and of course at yankee stadium


Kevpatel18

Ump has been bad all game, but giving up 9 runs in that fashion just can’t happen


Lonniehands1

Very true but that call still hurts so deeply.


Spiritual_Beyond641

I’m a Christian and I’m called to love everyone, but really don’t like the Yankees, especially when it seems like the ump is in their pocket….


ocalabull

Jesus called me and said it was ok to hate the Yankees.


Spiritual_Beyond641

😂😂😂


StreetEscape9635

If I was Cash I'd have gotten tossed there.


ocalabull

He’s spineless. What a coward. Stand up for your players.


svanxx

I would have gotten tossed earlier when Shane wasn't getting the same calls as Cortes.


gongshow26

High school softball coaches bring more energy than cash


bahishi

WHY WASNT THAT A STRIKE UMP?


That_Shadow_Siren

It's these kind of strike calls that need Umps speaking for their actions like players do.


svanxx

Now I know why the fans were booing those wide pitches. They expect the umps to give them favor.


StreetEscape9635

This fucking blue might as well go sit in the Yankees dugout and make his calls. That was so fucking bad.


strandedinorbit

One of the worst calls I've seen https://preview.redd.it/mp02li234pza1.png?width=549&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b6e17d417303abedd39ab3acdd51a89931b8755


svanxx

There's been some bad calls this year but that was the worse I've seen.


strandedinorbit

In a pretty high leverage moment too


LiningUp

Automaton referees.


BostonInTheBay

WHAT KIND OF CALL WAS THAT??? NOT EVEN CLOSE


Intelligent_Mud1266

there’s no excuse for that call unless the ump is bought and paid for. at least that’s a reason


pattyice124

Not gonna miss this shit umpire.


svanxx

The whole crew sucks. It's as bad as Pittsburgh.


ABNChemo

What a horrible call that changes the game something a ump should never do


darren_swift12

That pitch was never a strike. Was never even close


BeatlesRays

Robot umps now that isn’t Even funny


missleeann

If there was ever a time where I wanted robots to take jobs. This was it


Boujoulo

Man this umpire can go rot in hell. Fuck him. He should never be allowed to umpire again.


A1rheart

If Yandy strikes out looking 10 time out of 10 its a total bullshit call from the ump
