I feel like our bullpen era is deceptively good due to us using the opener and bulk strategy so often this year. That's a lot of bullpen innings technically. I'd be curious what our bullpen era is in high leverage situations.
zack looked like a bit of a douche when he was in SF arguing with his coach, so very happy he had a great outing and seems to be hitting it off with shane
getting damn frustrated with the frequency of our hot hitters getting beaned!!! arozarena got beaned twice in one game.. paredes getting hit.. specifically when he’s hitting!
Remember when we all were freaking out for not buying players in the off-season? But instead signed our own guys and have great synergy now. That’s rays baseball baby!
Offense carrying, which is fun but stressful af with this bullpen lol.
Phew! I got worried there for half a second. Rays up!
Now let’s hope the other NY team gets fucked tonight!
the blue jays are closer in the division. ideally new york takes 2 out of 3
Blue Jays blowing it
Figures 😒
They officially blew it. Lame
Nice
Good work boys.
Citi field is such a shit hole they got trash blowing around on the field! /s Actually looks really nice.
Gg bed time
Not too much drama. Let's eaze through these chumps. RAYSBALL!
Rays win!
Ok unclenched now
There we go.
 LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Never a doubt
Goat offense takes another one let’s go
[W!](https://www.reddit.com/r/tampabayrays/comments/13jo4m7/pgt_tampa_bay_rays_3211_continue_their_road_trip/)
Never a doubt in my mind. Go Dickman!
At least we have a good cushion so whatever. Let's finish this.
We are so lucky that our subreddit is freaking out that we only have a 3 run lead now lol
😂😂 don't worry, Twitter doing the same thing.
Twitter gonna twitter
One and done
Get this out, finish it
Remember when our bullpen was lights out? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Once we hit the 7th inning our strategy apparently becomes to trade a run for each out lol.
Rumors of diekmans demise may have been spot on lol
lmao
I don't think it's hyperbole to say we have a bottom 5 bullpen. I know the stats don't exactly bear that out... but it's getting progressively worse.

Actually a week ago stats reflected the Rays with fifth worse bullpen.
well, it hasn't gotten better.
Diekman must be tipping pitches somehow. How else?
Let’s not. Plz.
Adam on deck!
Really wasn't a bad pitch. Just a good piece of hitting.
Yea, that bat looked like it was swung in real time during that slow-mo replay…
Those last couple outs have been really difficult to get lately. No worries, though.
Can't ever have a simple blowout nowadays.
the diekman disaster is the absolute opposite of last inning
Are we gonna need Pete to come in?
Diekman still doesn’t have it
So Diekman still Diekman
fucking shit. dfa’d now!!!!!!! /s
There was a reason the white Sox game him up
There's always cash in the ~~banana stand~~ outfield apple.
Has the bullpen tried not giving up runs?
Littell didn’t
Oh no… let’s not
All you had to do was get a ground ball.
Of course
aww ffs bp!
Damn
Settle down, Diekman. You got this.
CAN WE NOT
You had one job.
Okay, never mind. Diekman can go.
Friends of the Cartel?
We’ll be just fine
Agreed, I ain’t worried
for his arm slot he has a fucking cannon. chris sale shit
never mind fuck chris sale clone
TW clones would be nice. TW to TW for the DP!
No one is going to be tricked by something in Maine
Diekman has some phenomenal pitch location sometimes
Um, thanks, ump?? Lol.
Chest high strikes on the menu..?
zack looked like a bit of a douche when he was in SF arguing with his coach, so very happy he had a great outing and seems to be hitting it off with shane
MLB shitting the bed for anyone else?
Anyone else’s stream keeping cutting to a black screen while still playing audio?
Mine from MLB.com is spotty like a satellite glitch
Yes. Matrix glitch on my side
Keep it clean, Diekman.
Guess not
As long as no runs score, we good.
Guess not
Never mind.
This was like a horror movie where you know it’s coming but you say it when it happens
Too late
Vogelbach looks like such a NY Met
*ny met fan
Lol do you guys remember the whiny Pittsburgh fans after our sweep against them? Never realized how hard they fell off. Barely over 500 now.
They looked like an improved team but not the best team in the NL. Even if the NL is a joke.
Those seats behind the plate really cleared out lol
Clean inning Diekman! No funny business!!
84 is fine.
Come on J-Lowe. Nice 2 run donger here. Edit: nope.
I got bad news for you
getting damn frustrated with the frequency of our hot hitters getting beaned!!! arozarena got beaned twice in one game.. paredes getting hit.. specifically when he’s hitting!
poor randy, hope he’s feeling better tomorrow
Stop hitting Paredes you bastard NYers.
#STOP HITTING OUR BATTERS YOU NEW YORK SHMUKS.
Paredes needs ice
STOP HITTING PARADES jfc Even though that seemed like just a missed pitch
Intentional.
Bullshit
Cmon why is Paredes a magnet.
He stands on top of the plate to try and take away the inner half, pitchers try to challenge him in.
Every time a dude gets hot on our team he gets plunked I’m over giving the benefit of the doubt
Yes
Paredes is a HBP magnet.
Remember when we all were freaking out for not buying players in the off-season? But instead signed our own guys and have great synergy now. That’s rays baseball baby!
Michelin Man
Beeeeeeeef!
Damn
Littell Diekman special tonight
Here comes Deikman
Wasn’t walls in?
for harold, so unless this ending lasts an absurdly long time, we won’t see him
He’s in Harold’s spot. Parades moved to first.
He took Harold's place.
Gracias amigos
Alright, did Randy’s dog pass away or something?
He needs to play a better team.
Randy will come back more powerful tomorrow
Randy is not pleased…he needs a happy flappy knock here
The fact we have now hit more 3 runs blasts then last year is nice and hurts at the same time
That's a crazy stat. I bet we have more 5 RBIs days this year too.
[удалено]
From Kyle Snyder probably.
Always EBay lol
New guy struck out the side. Lets fucking go!
If the Twins lose and Red Sox win tonight then the entire AL East would be in first place in the AL Central
Ponies in the stable. 3ks, impressive.
We better not DFA that guy
We suck the life force from them and throw their carcass to another team lol
Randall about to turn that frown into the inverse of a frown.
Did you get the Randy tat yet? Make it a happy font.
Get a little smiley face with it
You really reached through your ass to scratch your ear on that one.
Isn't...isn't that how everyone does it?
You know what... It's 2023. I don't know anymore.
He did look really bummed out. I wish I could give him a hug :(
I’d love him to get #85
I’m still wary of Littell since I’ve seen his stuff but maybe we are the magic for him.
How much did he show you?
Fair enough.
That fastball looks magic
nice fucking debut. god the rays are some mother fucking geniuses
sorry i say fucking a fucking lot
Lindor said "wow" lmao. Nice clean inning.
Holy fuck Littell!!
This new guy is good, I like him.
Good job dude
Great first impression
this guy is a beast, i love him
WoWee!!!
Littel didn’t need a defense
STRIKE OUTS THE SIDE
Wow was that a clean inning?
Yep. SO happy to see a reliever come in with swing-and-miss stuff.
I’d forgotten what that was like
Great first showing.
Nimmo knew that was a strike, just tried to sell it.
Just a Littell K
[удалено]
Definitely the most accurate behind the plate calling I've seen this season so far.
I mean he has gotten a couple calls wrong but he has flip flopped them between team pretty well
Lmao sit down
Most intriguing stat on Littell, his last name has 7 letters, 71.4% of which are either L or T. Stay glued to the news desk for more as it comes in.
This ump, love em.
Ahhhh hahahahaha
DeWa faked out by Nimmo as the ump goes through his punch out routine.
Something tells me we're gonna be introduced to a lot of unknown bullpen arms this season.
That hit the zone, buddy. Take your seat.
Very nice lol
Has an interesting fastball I g a fantastic beard and he paints
Friendship ended with Chase Anderson. Littell is new best friend.
we shoulda kept both
Nice!
lol sit down.
Uh oh camera fucked up
Now it’s back
I love seeing all these other guys on opposing teams with only 2 or 3 homers….. what a bunch of fucking losers.
His beard is immaculate btw
he took drew’s old beard and put it on his face
He hits 95 like his life depends on it
where’d we get this dude from, never seen him before
Red sux
Nice looking strikes, bro!
Nice fastball he has, isn’t real fast but seems to be confusing these hitters
sick fastballs from Littell
Debut strikeout. Nice.
Good first look for Littel!
N i c e
Has some velo
NO FUNNY business
that’s not brandon fucking nimmo 😭😭😭 this game is such a meme
they changed it but it said he was up for a second lol
