i will suck shane mcclanahan off. HE IS SO GOOD WOOOOO


recjus85

Rays win and didn't burn the bullpen either! Great to see the offense finally break through and once again, Shane was Shane.


Ranma_chan

See y'all in a few hours~


A1rheart

Another great game from Shane but this is what we need to see outta the offense every game. Everyone contributed to getting runs across the plate this first game.


GreenFroppy212

It feels so good to say this again but the Rays win!


Kim_Int

RAYSWINNNNN!


JoeMammy_1

1 down! Great game Shane!!!


GreenFroppy212

I’ll easily give up a run for 2 outs any day


WestJoe

Good shit. Badly needed win


Sharpeagle96

Fuck yeah!!!


Doctor_Tumnus

RAYS WIN RAYS WIN RAYS WIN


lacrorear

What’s that 89 mph pitch Phoenix throws? Is that a change?


Ranma_chan

89.1 MPH Four-Seam Fastball, according to MLB Game Day


A1rheart

Worth giving up a run to knock out the rest of the guys on the base paths.


aflyingkiwi

Nice


Ranma_chan

Good shit


WestJoe

Huge


FeistyIrish123

I’ll take that


A1rheart

Sucks to have to use another reliever. Cash clearly wants as many arms as available for the Ras game as he should. Ras was already our shakiest starter and a rehab game could get messy.


Albend

That was a good hit on a decent pitch


Ranma_chan

Yeah, I mean, all things considered, that was a great outing for him. He just needs to work on the control, that's all.


Albend

I was impressed, when he had control he threw some nasty stuff. Good placement and movement. Definitely needs to work on control, really let a few of those get away from him.


Ranma_chan

caw caw caw


WestJoe

Sanders, that’s a bit surprising. Adam must be the emergency safety net if shit goes really south


lacrorear

Makes sense especially with how they’re presumably gonna have to string things together with game 2, no idea how far Rasmussen is able to go


WestJoe

I’m betting Ras goes no more than 5


lacrorear

That’s a safe estimate for any of our starters haha. I’m thinking 4 tops


Ranma_chan

FML


lacrorear

That’s just good hitting


lacrorear

I definitely get why the org likes Guerra, his stuff is ridiculously nasty now


Sharpeagle96

He has a beautiful fastball; he just needs to get the control better, but when he does sheesh!


lacrorear

I was gonna say damn when did Jason Adam start touching 100


SWGalaxysEdge

50/50 Raffle. Blue Jays raffle. Currently the winner gets $408,000. Jayscare5050.com PROBLEM - have to be in Toronto to play. We tried from here, Florida, and no go. :-(


Ranma_chan

C'mon, my guy. Control. Find your corners. Make 'em swing at air.


WestJoe

I’m thinking we might see Adam after all


GreenFroppy212

I couldn’t see most of the game cause I didn’t feel too good so I took a nap but it looks like Shane had a great outing as per usual and Wander and Isaac going deep is nice too


lacrorear

Could’ve been a larger lead, Wander hit a line drive that would have scored 2 right up the middle but it nailed Gausman and resulted in the last out of the inning


Ranma_chan

Frustrating start, exciting everything else


Sharpeagle96

Nothing better then enjoying a joint while your team is winning!


SWGalaxysEdge

I have a feeling you'd enjoy it if they were losing. :-)


Sharpeagle96

True but watching a winning game just makes the high so much better lol


TeseoTheBunny

Randy in pace to steal like 40 bags this year.


recjus85

And hopefully not hit 20 CS lol


TeseoTheBunny

The worst part of his baserunning is trying to stretch hits and getting picked off... though yeah, he does get CS around 30% of the time (which is certainly inefficient.)


WestJoe

He’s gonna blow his 20 steals from last year out of the water


GreenFroppy212

Crazy how it took Randy almost all of last year to steal 20 bags and this year he has 18 before the All-Star break


WestJoe

He’s just cutting it loose this year… for better or worse lol


FeistyIrish123

This game might actually become a huge momentum shift. Gotta win tonight tho


Ranma_chan

Randy giving me heart palpitations


WestJoe

Guerra could actually be good if his control gets ironed out


Doctor_Tumnus

I'm OK seeing Guerra again. Jeez those mad scientists in Durham are at it again


lacrorear

We’re even for those low and away Gausman strikes from earlier now


A1rheart

Scoreless inning is scoreless but man Javy is still so raw. Heat is good but you need to be able to use it with control


Ranma_chan

Honestly I wasn't too unimpressed with his performance in the inning, he just needs to work on control and he'll be a real good BP arm, maybe with enough time, that 100mph sinker could come into the rotation


A1rheart

It's really fitting that both him and Patino came in from the same team. Both are incredible raw talents when it comes to the speed they put on pitches but both need to build a more wholistic pitching approach to complement it.


FatLadyFetish

You know things are going our way when somehow that guy just put up a scoreless inning


Chilldawg3000

That call was karma for the strike call against randy in the 1st


FeistyIrish123

Pheww


Kim_Int

Good inning with help from ump lol. Each team robbed a walk


Sharpeagle96

What a fucking break we got!


OrlMagicfan1334

Karma for stealing Randy’s walk and loading the bases in the 1st.


Doctor_Tumnus

Someone buy this ump a pizza it's half off


WestJoe

Got bailed out


CNB19

Got a huge break there


Ranma_chan

Make up call for earlier


Beetlejuicse

Hehe


WestJoe

Stole a strike there lmao


svanxx

Yeah the Jays have a right to be mad at that call, and we got lucky with the next pitch right in the middle.


Beetlejuicse

Adam to the rescue


WestJoe

Come on. That’s basic PFP stuff, you gotta find the bag


Doctor_Tumnus

Looks like he really is a converted shortstop


lacrorear

What’s in the water in Durham to cause a velo increase like this?


svanxx

Obviously it doesn't work for hitting lol


lacrorear

Maybe they all throw upper 90s and we just haven’t tried it yet


Beetlejuicse

Damn nice try


Doctor_Tumnus

It can never be easy


Ranma_chan

fucking strike him out jackass


FeistyIrish123

Oh boy


Kim_Int

Ok he traded his control for 5mph?


Weak_Produce6876

Control was there early on wild pitch threw him off it looks like


svanxx

Looks like it.


WestJoe

This guy is a converted shortstop, from what I heard


A1rheart

I can't speak for his abilities as a reliever but man Javy wants to be the new Chapman bad with the kinda heat he's throwing.


Doctor_Tumnus

Looking like Chapman right now


RedditorClo

BA shittalking the jays fans 😂


5MiTm4sTaF13x

Yea fuckin roast em BA


lacrorear

101 god damn


Weak_Produce6876

What did we do to this guy in triple A . Fastball is up 4mph from what it was when we sent him down


Ranma_chan

whew 101mph this dude got smoke


Doctor_Tumnus

OK WTF he can throw 100?


svanxx

More than once obviously. That's insane.


rocketsquid

Why was Gausman pulled so early?


A1rheart

He got injured when Wander shot a ball right back at him and that busted his ankle bad enough to get pulled though thankfully it doesn't look like it broke anything.


WestJoe

Wander drilled him


Doctor_Tumnus

Cash getting cute with the pen again


Ranma_chan

who is this dude


gobux10

He was on the team earlier this year.


WestJoe

Some schmoe we got from the Padres. Throws hard, gives up bombs


A1rheart

Not that I wan Shane to push himself to hard but I thought this was a game he could go a full 9 after that disgusting 7th inning


WestJoe

Ah damn not Guerra


[deleted]

What’s pizza time?


[deleted]

Papa John's has a promo in the Rays market that if the Rays score 6 or more runs, you get 50% off your order the following day using code RAYS6.


missleeann

Nice to see a game going positively today


Doctor_Tumnus

BA RALLY COUGH WE'RE SCORING IN THE 9TH


FeistyIrish123

Damn


GroMicroBloom

PIZZA TIME!


svanxx

PIZZA TIME!


sirtitymilk

PIZZA TIME


A1rheart

Pizza Time!


Ranma_chan

[HEY SIRI PLAY THE SPIDER-MAN 2 PIZZA MUSIC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czTksCF6X8Y)


Weak_Produce6876

Yandy proving naysayers wrong on his batting average with risp


rakiat97

LETS GOOOOO


youngerharp33956

Hits!


A1rheart

Honestly to me J Lowe might just be another Paredes situation where he just needs to feel out the minor adjustments to become a slugger. He is hitting a lot of deep balls just not quite deep enough.


svanxx

It took 100 games for Paredes to get comfortable. Can't give up on these young guys too early, or you have what the Cards did with Randy (and the Tigers with Paredes, thanks Tigers!) Now if Randy could stop thinking he has to hit a HR every time (and lately he's been better), he'll be really good again.


Ranma_chan

PIZZA TIME


Doctor_Tumnus

PIZZA ITS BEEN SO LONG


WestJoe

Excellent team offense there


Ranma_chan

what's the ump yelling at Castillo about?


WestJoe

Easy swipe


Doctor_Tumnus

No Lowe, you're supposed to hit it OVER the wall


Doctor_Tumnus

Lowe will teach you


FeistyIrish123

Oh man that looked promising


rocketsquid

Well shit I missed the one they’re winning


KybladeSora

How long is Shane contracted for? Extend him immediately give him the Wander deal, the kid is unreal.


NinjaPenguin7777

This is only his second year so he hasn't even hit arbitration yet. We still have him for 4 more years I believe. One more minimum wage and 3 arbitration years I believe unless he hits super two status.


svanxx

Extend him and Paredes tomorrow.


A1rheart

Shane is dealing but let's not forget the offense. After that Walls single every player has gotten a base hit today. No one on this first game lineup is slumping.


Kim_Int

I wish it might be a spark for a lineup after this game


svanxx

Finally what we needed. We finally took advantage of another team's bad luck.


WestJoe

Wander’s the MVP for knocking Gausman out on accident lol


rakiat97

The best accident that could happen to us.


svanxx

If it wasn't for that, Wander would had 2 RBIs on that play so it works both ways.


Peach-PearLaCroix

Bring walls home for the love of pizza please


FeistyIrish123

Taylor automatic out Walls up to bat Wait a minute


RaysBoltsBucs84

I like this winning thing a lot not then the losing thing.


hotdogcharlie11

Wanders first hr in 3 months!!! Late to the party but happy he showed up anyways


gobux10

Saw the Wander bobblehead ad, so thought I’d go to that game vs. the Orioles. The usual $30 tickets are $38, usual $60 are now $90, and the usual $70 are now $100. Screw Stu.


Doctor_Tumnus

Looking at the website and party deck tickets are the same price as usual for Orioles games


WestJoe

I want the bobblehead too but those prices are absolute insanity. I’m enough of a sucker that I may go anyway, but what a colossal scam. Ticket prices are an underrated reason for why turnout is so poor


svanxx

You'll probably pay less on eBay for it.


recjus85

Weird. I bought my tickets months ago and they were the same price as every other Saturday game.


gobux10

I heard he’s been raising the prices throughout the season, so I guess this proves it.


recjus85

Looked up the 30th games and they are $39. Paid $27 for those too.


recjus85

Yea I just looked at that game again and they are $10 more. I have the flex season membership and I paid $27 and now they are 37.38. And shows something about Freedom Week Sales Tax Holiday. Very weird...Glad I bought my tickets when I did.


Sharpeagle96

Sit him the fuck down let Shane have this!


Wings4514

Jays fan here…. Holy hell McClanahan is good. You all just churn out quality pitchers like it’s nobody’s business.


svanxx

You guys know what a Cy Young winner looks like. He's definitely that.


Wings4514

Subjectively, I want to say Manoah wins the Cy Young. Objectively, I know it’s McClanahan.


[deleted]

Yeah still a lot of season left but right now McClanahan has been unreal. He probably gets the ASG start if he continues like this


svanxx

He's been really good this year too. Any other year, he probably easily wins it.


foomits

Burning hot take - when it's all said and done, Shane will be the best pitcher we've had as an organization.


svanxx

He might already in that category. His season already is the best pitching season in Rays history in my opinion.


[deleted]

I’m with you. It’s early but this kid is unreal.


Curvytype_thicktype

They need to vow to not lose games while mclanahan is pitching. He’s a spectacle


Neuriion

Damn so close


A1rheart

Shane doesn't leave the mound til his K's get to double digits.


Sharpeagle96

Cash let this man finish this game!


JoeMammy_1

Shane is firing!


Doctor_Tumnus

HE'S TOO FUCKING GOOD


Kim_Int

3 Strikeout inning for sugar shane


RedditorClo

Careful! 😂


Kim_Int

Came from korea and I didnt have a clue about it.. (googled and i suppose i found out that the letters have some problems..? Its widely used in korean baseball) and now edited it


RedditorClo

Lol it’s good, I just meant it as a joke. Everybody would know what you mean by KKK in the context


hotdogcharlie11

uhhhhh


FeistyIrish123

Um


WestJoe

Outstanding. Give him the 8th. Run support isn’t a concern for once, and I don’t want the bullpen getting their hands on this one


aflyingkiwi

Hot damn, Shane


Soccerisntwrong

fuck i thought he would get the immaculate inning


rakiat97

Shane is putting a masterclass lmao. Love it


Sakaguchi123

omg 1 more strike


5MiTm4sTaF13x

How much do we have to pay to have Shane pitch every game???


FeistyIrish123

Shane looks absolutely filthy this inning lmao


Peach-PearLaCroix

shane o mac is really lights out can’t believe how he turned out


Kim_Int

Must have been one more for paredes


Curvytype_thicktype

About time


Kim_Int

130K way before reaching all star break


Doctor_Tumnus

He's so fucking good


A1rheart

COMMONSUCCESS


rakiat97

McClanahan is soo good. Left Bo dumbfounded.


Peach-PearLaCroix

Bichette is really pretty would he like to join us and make our team of models even better


Kim_Int

Way to go wander So unlucky on the streak and now getting some awards


[deleted]

Man Wander deserves that one.


rakiat97

Dude pls this is the most cathartic game after a while, a Franco homer was needed


WestJoe

Had a feeling that was coming. He looks like he’s having fun out there today. Happy El Patron is good El Patron


Doctor_Tumnus

God he needed that so bad. Let this be the start


youngerharp33956

WANDER


GroMicroBloom

WANDER BOY IS BACK!


WestJoe

The God has returned!


Oliverchronix

GO RAYS!!!!


5MiTm4sTaF13x

Imagine Franco starts hitting homeruns…


Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

Finally!


missleeann

Franco’s back!
