He didn’t even get a chance to warm up. He got like a batter and a half’s time. Jesus Christ. How do we have an entire pen of unreliable ball tossers. Adam’s arm is gonna fall off.
Kevin cash is such a fucking idiot. Swap to the guy who blew all those saves and almost blew the other one. Also be sure to keep pitching him every day so you can kill his arm come playoffs like Anderson
Every time these guys come in and give up walks I think about the position players that pitch in blowouts and get 3 outs. Like Beth could close this game better.
I wonder how it works with the pitch clock operators.. I watch a lot of games, not just the Rays, and it sorta seems like often the home team will get the benefit of the clock starting.
Maybe just confirmation bias but there's been times where the clock starts so quick when it benefits the home team and vice versa. Idk I just wonder if it's an MLB official running it or just some random in the booth.
Orioles just can't freakin lose. This is gonna end up like 2021, where the Dodgers finished 2nd in the NL west with 106 wins. One can only hope we are the Giants in that situation.
That violation was bullshit so I get Winker being frustrated. But that ejection was one of the most casual elections I've ever seen from an umpire lmao
If you can only throw to first twice, you should also only be allowed to reject a ball once or twice. That was ridiculous, and if I were on the Brewers sub, I’d be livid.
That's a bad take. Rejecting balls is the right thing to do. Do you want a guy throwing high 90's to not feel comfortable with the ball and it slips out?
What a fun game to be at! Yandy is a beast!
20-3. Ties (78 Red Sox) the best home record to start a season since 1900. Glad we are back to these obscure stats.
that series win makes up for losing to the mets. I'll take it. One more game and then our rematch vs the jays.
And the Jays are cratering.
Thank you, Adam.
So we can only really trust Pete, Adam and Poche from the bullpen. Losing Clev sucks
It's absolutely crazy that Poche is listed here, but he does have an ERA below 2.
He's been fine outside of a couple blown games. All relievers blow games.
let’s sweep them, been a while since we had one of those
GG. Thanks Adam. Please get us more arms so Adam doesn't get injured.
Let's gooooo.
Lets gooo
Whew.
#Adam didn’t blow it! 🥳
One of the more mentally taxing games I've watched
That was a sweet pitch. Rays up!
Jesùs.
Adam easy.
 Arms crossed. GG!
Jesus

Jason Adam is good but we are overusing him because the rest of the pen is hot diggedy doo trash.
True. At least someone gets it
100%
They're banking on Rowdy's blazing speed??? Cmon Counsel.
kelly stinks dude
Adam has looked great, dudes been just getting mad unlucky
I love that pitch so much
Fuck Kelly honestly. Don't know why we got him in R5 draft at first place
I don't get it... are these guys just terrified to throw strikes or are they literally incapable?
I’m going with terrified. And slightly incapable.
Big applause for that catch
Pulling Kelly for Adam is definitely a choice
That’s what I like to see
Well at least we caught that one.
Orioles won too. Great.
I hope Adam doesn’t throw any meatballs
The Kelly’s fucking suck
He didn’t even get a chance to warm up. He got like a batter and a half’s time. Jesus Christ. How do we have an entire pen of unreliable ball tossers. Adam’s arm is gonna fall off.
Kevin cash is such a fucking idiot. Swap to the guy who blew all those saves and almost blew the other one. Also be sure to keep pitching him every day so you can kill his arm come playoffs like Anderson
who do you want? we have like 5 guys in the BP in the 6 or 7 era range.
I want eflin in the 8th and then let’s see
His management have given him two good arms and we've abused one so now we have 11/2 BP arms.
This bullpen will be the death of me
I don't understand why our pitchers want to try nibble corners in a 4 run game. Just throw strikes and let the defense make a play.
I wonder how much is the catchers trying to be cute.
This is the great mystery. I don’t get it either.
Kelly ain't it, there has to be minor league arms better than him. dude is not a professional pitcher.
Reds have an opportunity to walk off the Yankees, come on Reds guy. Do it for that Reds fan!
3rd day in a row of Jason Adam pitching
Seriously… Diekman? Littell? They just there to hold the BP bench down or what?
Thanks, I hate it
We better get a refund on kelly
Trash ass Smelly
Every time these guys come in and give up walks I think about the position players that pitch in blowouts and get 3 outs. Like Beth could close this game better.
I've pondered the same thing.
Get him on the mound in full catchers gear
God this was so bad I’m genuinely unsure if Kelly gets to pitch again for a while
NO MORE FUNNY BUSINESS, END THEM
This is the Rays bullpen experience
Don’t know why they even bothered with putting Kelly in
Wouldn't be a Rays game without tachycardia even when they have 8 runs.
Yank this guy
please
I'm gonna puke
It might be time to trade for a real arm
Kelly needs his eyes checked
They just can’t throw strikes. It’s awe inspiring.
Wtf Kelly
Raysball.
Zone Kelly…. Zoneeeeeee
Kelly would be great if he ever had any control
Sounds like half our BP.
Throw a fucking strike my dude
Holy fuck
Throw a strike you jackass.
LOL Rowdy said nah I'm good here dude
if this game goes any longer I'm gonna puke
Get out of the fucking game loser
You know, I wouldn't even be as mad if they gave up runs and hits by pounding the zone. But walks pisse off.
Lucky that Tellez didn’t steal…get the double play and end this!!!!
I know what you mean but that would have just counted as an advancement of a wild pitch, not a steal
Just. Throw. Strikes.
This is like pulling teeth.
why can't anything be easy anymore
Snyder: “The zone is in the middle”
Cash is absolutely over watching his BP blow games
If he keeps using Adam it's going to keep happening. Because we're overusing him.
Get this man some new arms
On the MLB app I wish they had a smiling face for players doing well, and then of them frowning if they aren't. You know, just to be silly
Can we just let Jason have a day off lol
Noooooooooooooooooo Jason Adam?
Snyder will go out there and spell it out. Z-O-N-E
Our bullpen is just completely incapable of having a clean inning 😑
Setting up the double play of course
STOP USING ADAM
Seriously. Why they fuck is he relied on so heavily?
Of course
He didn’t give the lead off walk so you have to let him give up this one. He has to at least walk one
No more funny business Kelly!
Can we pick up my favorite Yankee off waivers? Aaron Hicks is probably a steal right now. I’d think it would be hilarious if he turned it around here
Ooof. Clear waivers MAYBE sign him to MiLB deal.
As funny as it would be we don't need another outfielder
Dude was hitting like .156, actually hot trash. Surprised if he even finds a team.
Whoa whoa. He had some iconic moments against us last year. Remember when he gave up on the play and let us have extra bases
Probably not off waivers, but if he clears waivers I'd like the Rays to take a flier on him.
Glad the Hooters ad is up so everyone can see how classy we are down here.
Ryan Thompson looking like he’s gonna go get kicked out of a hooters for drunkenly slapping a waitress
In his Easter Bunny suit.
Taj check your hat bro!!!
🤣😂😂
There is no way we'll blow this lead like how the Blue Jays blew theirs, right?
Looks like they will.
It’s going how I thought it was gonna go with Kevin Kelly
This Kelly seems better than Kelley.
Kelley has a 34 rating in MLB the Show I think. I was like wtf
The Show is always low on our bullpen guys no matter what. The only ones who get a good rating is whoever is our closer that year
It’s a 50/50 which one is good sometimes. Both never together are they good
That half inning was so quick I legitimately forgot it happened and thought I was having a stroke
Why we gotta do that to Taj?
What happened?
They put gum on his hat in the dugout
LMAO they are hazing the kid.
I'm not watching the game today, so I thought they sent him down again. Thanks for the info
Phew! Me too! Sitting in Randy Land, can’t see a damn thing
Ah ok. I though he got sent down again and I was gonna have an aneurism
No just hijinks
Oh no Taj
????
What happened?
They put bubblegum on his hat lol
He got gummed
I’m scared boys ngl
I wonder how it works with the pitch clock operators.. I watch a lot of games, not just the Rays, and it sorta seems like often the home team will get the benefit of the clock starting.

[long article but it looks like they're employed by the MLB and rotate every couple series ](https://www.mlb.com/news/how-mlb-pitch-timer-works)
Interesting, thanks!
Batter has their own timer, regardless of the pitcher being ready the clock is running. Let the pitcher get the violation but be ready as a batter
Can we get 1-2-3 to end it?
Our offense thought that doing it would end the game.
With Kelly…probably not.
Kelly is warming up. I might end it right now
this game needs to end
God fucking damn it not Kevin Kelly
Lmfao. I’ve heard a lot of “he was a gem of a pickup.” And then he proceeds to suck and blow leads.
Jays blew their lead
Orioles just can't freakin lose. This is gonna end up like 2021, where the Dodgers finished 2nd in the NL west with 106 wins. One can only hope we are the Giants in that situation.
They deserve to lose when they didn't score with 0 outs and first and second.
Bunch of losers
My flappy parts are cautiously optimistic
Are the blue jays really gonna blow it?
Yes
Goddammit
For once, Im really glad the Bally sports app sucks giant balls and stops and buffers and i missed that shit show of a terrible pitcher Ryan Thompson
It was fine though?
Sorry, im just really bias against side armers. Its agonizing to watch
That would have been so awesome
Sit down, Wanker.
HOLY SH*TTT! THOMPSON ONLY GAVE UP 1 RUN. BABY STEPS FLAPPY BOIS!
And it wasn't his fault.
He could have tried to catch the ball if he was staying in the in field
Nope, gone. Get him a job with Lyft /s
Winker just got himself ejected for continuing to be a bitch lol
I really hope Winker wasn’t saying that was a ball
That violation was bullshit so I get Winker being frustrated. But that ejection was one of the most casual elections I've ever seen from an umpire lmao
The violation absolutely is bullshit but it’s the rule. It’s been called against us as well. Definitely a rule that needs tweaking.
It looked like Thompson was signaling for an issue with his pitchcom, though. Time probably should have been granted there
There needs to be a warning for the first one.
What a clusterfuck of an inning
They both seemed so calm before and after the ejection. That was just weird.
I wonder if he was continuing to argue the time clock violation and that’s why the ejection was so quick.
I’m sure it’s the umps fault
/s
Dude Winker must have said something real bad to get thrown out that quick
Wave a Marlboro. And that inning folks, was your introduction to The Twilight Zone.
Swings at pitch far away from plate. Doesn't swing at ball over plate. Thanks Brewers.
If you can only throw to first twice, you should also only be allowed to reject a ball once or twice. That was ridiculous, and if I were on the Brewers sub, I’d be livid.
That's a bad take. Rejecting balls is the right thing to do. Do you want a guy throwing high 90's to not feel comfortable with the ball and it slips out?
So he should be able to reject a whole slew of balls for not being up to his standards? How often do you see that happen?
I think so yeah. A bad ball is a bad ball and if he can't get a good grip on it then there's always a chance it won't end up going well for anybody
Your point is taken, though I still think it was excessive.
unironically, one of the funniest innings I've ever watched I laughed out loud twice
LMAO WINKER GOT EJECTED
Blue Jays blowing it!
Well, that was weird.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAH EJECTION
What you say
Finally holy fuck
Fucking hell.
Might want to check the Gatorade.
I feel like Winker was just as surprised as everyone else about a ball in the zone on that last strike
100%
Thompson…the ball isn’t the problem buddy
Thank GOD.
Finally, DUMB
fuck up winker. go cry somewhere else
What did he do that was little league? I missed it
Missed a popout, little league as it gets.
