Yes he had no other choice because TBs lineup had worked his pitch count; hopefully this is where we make their bullpen pay and break this game wide open! The way Morton is pitching through 5 with only 50 pitches he could go a full 9. I wouldn't pull him if he continues to wheel and deal (13 outs in a row).
In case you missed it. 1st inning. Randy does it again. All Time MLB record for HRs during a postseason by a rookie (7).
I was against pulling him too but that's what makes Cash fearless; he trusts our defense and bullpen pitching and right away, we escaped the inning without a single run allowed. 9 more outs and Kevin Cash now has a whole damn stable of pitchers that throw 98+ mph!!! Period!
4-0 Rays! And we aren't blowing this lead either; the Astros are COOKED! Hey Houston. Tampa Bay has a message for you... And tonight's game 7 was and is REVENGE for absolutely cheating baseball.
1st and 3rd only one out for Houston and BAM LIGHTNING STRIKES with an inning ending Rays DOUBLE PLAY!!!! 6 OUTS AWAY BABY!!!!
Ok so Houston just got 2 runs here in the 8th however we escaped the 8th up 4-2 and only 3 outs away!!!
If coming back from 0-3 down only to lose in 7 feels worse for those cheating pieces of crap, it only makes me happier.
Heading into the ALCS I wanted a Rays vs. Braves World Series. I feel the Braves would be a lot easier to beat than LAD. But fk it. I've changed my mind. Bring on the Los Angeles Dodgers! The Rays had the best AL record. The Dodgers had the best NL record. May the best team WIN IT ALL. It'll be a more memorable series win it lose. As the LAD have the #2 payroll in all of baseball only behind the Yankess and would become the true definition of a David vs Goliath type of powerhouse vs. underdog storyline. I think for Rays fans such as myself beating the Dodgers would be more exciting than beating the Braves. I'd love to see Rays blue over Dodgers blue!!
Yes. They had a chance to make Boston Red Sox type history and absolutely BLEW IT. I'm now thankful we took 7 games in order to advance because we're now that much more "battle tested" heading into our World Series matchup vs either LA/ATL!!
Wow!!! Atlanta was up 3-2 heading into bottom of the 7th!!! Braves had a COMMANDING 3-1 SERIES LEAD!!! And now it's 4-3 Dodgers! Game 7! And it's the bottom of the 8th with LAD batting! Braves are DOWN TO THEIR FINAL 3 OUTS! WOW!! I been wanting a Rays vs Dodgers World Series the more I've thought about it ever since last night. To me as a Rays fan it's more interesting more intense. More of a David vs. Goliath story mode. Rays = best record within the AL. Dodgers = best record within NL. Rays already beat the #1 NYY payroll. Dodgers have the #2 MLB payroll. Rays blue. Vs. Dodgers blue. (Sorry Bloods) lol. Rays beat the Yankees? Rays beat the Astros who eliminated us last year? Rays best the powerhouse Dodgers? Memorable.
IT'S OFFICIAL!! 2020 WORLD SERIES; TAMPA BAY RAYS (BEST AL RECORD). VS. LOS ANGELES DODGERS (BEST NL RECORD). TWO GAME 7 WINNERS! DAVID VS. GOLIATH!
I'm scared of the Dodgers but super excited 8:11 can not come soon enough! LAD has a big time advance tonight with Kershaw on the mound vs. our Glasnow. However TB has a huge opportunity tonight. If we're able to beat their #1 pitcher? Before we send out our Ace Snell and then Morton? Man. We'd immediately take control of the series. One thing is for certain. Our defense and pitching isn't the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers had games of 7, 15 and 7 runs scored... That won't happen against my Rays. 1-0 series lead and beating Kershaw without our true Ace Snell would become an amazing feeling moving forward.
I been waiting for this moment for 12 years dating back to 2008! It's game time baby! 1st pitch underway! Even if we don't score runs against Kershaw, I hope to see us work his pitch count and get to their bullpen before the end of their 5th. And as I'm typing leadoff single base hit for TB against Kershaw!!! Let's fkn gooooo
2-0 Dodgers. Home run. Fk. I got my wish asking for LAD when I knew in my heart we'd have a much better chance vs ATL. Bottom of the 4th and the way Kershaw is pitching we're in trouble.
kevin kiermaier our longest tenured Ray ends 13 outs in a row and gets us on the board two out solo HR! 2-1 LAD but at least we have a little hope now
I didn't think LAD would score on us like this. I was so wrong. It's now 8-1 in the 7th and we're being absolutely destroyed. Only game 1 but this doesn't look good the Dodgers look like a powerhouse against a small market team. Damnit man I didn't want to see us lose game 1 LIKE THIS
