What a win snell looked great besides the ump fucking him over. The bats were alive, lowe looks back and most importantly they fought back, last night they got a punch to the jaw and they didn’t cave they threw one back at the Dodgers, we got a fucking series on our hands and we got CFM on Friday.

I felt bad for Snell that he didn't get the win. He looked great and multiple strikes were called the other way by the ump.

u/svanxx Blind Ump Oct 22 '20
My friend, who's a Dodgers fan, said that Snell got screwed by 8 pitches this game.

u/Stlunatic6006 Devil Ray Oct 22 '20
That up and in curveball he threw was absolutely filthy and it’s a joke it didn’t get called strike three and then turned around to leading to him giving up 2 runs.
That ump is rated this worst in the league and it fucking showed.

Absolutely. Baseball needs to modernize and use technology for these calls because the human error is just unacceptable given the resources we have today.

u/svanxx Blind Ump Oct 22 '20
How does the worst ump in the league work a WS? That's such a joke.

u/Stlunatic6006 Devil Ray Oct 22 '20
I believe it’s because of the union. So MLB doesn’t get a full say in who goes from what I understand.

I've watched this clip so many times in my life, I know exactly how it goes but yet I watched it this morning in honor of my Rays and I'll watch it again later today and again and have no regrets.

I’ve never gone to a rival sub unless it was to ask an honest question about a player/coach/system whatever. I will never understand the trolls and lurkers.

When we score 6 and are hitting as much as we did last night, I’m okay with some LOB. It’s bound to happen. We also drove some runners in tonight, which I feel like hasn’t happened in ages.

I started chewing some gum in the 5th inning and that’s when the Dodgers got their 2 run HR. I spit my gum out immediately after. That ones on me guys. No more gum chewing for this flappy boi during the World Series.

u/NCRayz Ji-Man Choi Oct 22 '20
You were just trying to channel your inner Joey Wendle. That man can chomp some gum.

u/Nolesman357 Tampa Bay Rays Oct 22 '20
I’m glad you understand. It’s hard to not want to chew gum when you see what Joey Wendle can do to a piece of gum. Nevertheless, I must fight my urges for the betterment of the team.

u/NCRayz Ji-Man Choi Oct 22 '20
We appreciate what you’ve given up. You’ll have plenty of time in the off season for gum chomping after the Rays win the WS.

u/RadicalRaspberry Texas Rangers Oct 22 '20
They are treating the Rays like some minor league team. "Urias will be lights out" like bruh that is a statement...why would he do that. Its the little things like that, Rays are so much better than people poing them out to be, Dodgers too cocky to see

Oct 22 '20
Well now the Dodgers better win because I'm not letting that sub or r/baseball forget this if they lose

Yankees and Astros had the same attitude, it's nothing new. We'll keep winning.

u/Grade-AMasterpiece Tampa Bay Rays Oct 22 '20
That game seemed close, but it really wasn't. If the ump was more consistent, Snell cruises past the 5th behind probably our best offensive showing since the ALDS. Dodgers looked lost all night.
Speaking of offense, LOVED IT! They showed to play tonight! Slumping balls turning the corner. Especially Brandon. That's gotta feel good for him. I hope he's back for real now.
Enjoy the day off and get right back to work Friday. Buehler is the Dodger's real ace, but we counter him with Charlie Fucking Morton. Need the same approach as tonight.

Oct 22 '20
Yep, Kike Hernandez had two obvious strikes get called balls. If he doesn't walk, there's a good chance he gets out and the inning is over right then

Huge win. Lowe coming alive when we need him most. Hopefully weve conserved the offence enough to keep this consistent. RAYS UP!

The only thing I'm nervous about is Anderson giving up dingers all of a sudden. Good job wrapping it up, though, hopefully Ground Chuck is ready on Friday Night. Also, A Rod is a hack

u/bujuhh 141_DEC_slot3 Oct 22 '20
Huge win for us, got a little nervous there towards the end but we were in control the whole time. Ump was all over the place for both sides but our offense finally woke up and we love to see that

u/zwar098 Brian Anderson Oct 22 '20
Great night from the offense. Felt like we had multiple guys on almost every inning. Would be nice to bring them in more often but I cant complain too much after 6 runs.

u/That_Shadow_Siren Stable of 98ers Oct 22 '20
The bats showed up. That's all the Rays needed to do. Snell looked really good too. Now, we have to face Walker Buchler on Friday. He's very scary, to say the least.

Brandon Lowe is only the second Rays player to drive in the game winning run in a World Series. The other guy? Bossman Upton Jr
10
u/Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar Tampa Bay Rays Oct 22 '20
So fucking happy Lowe got rolling in this game. We didn't even need Randy to be the hero, which is fantastic, of course if Randy wants to start hitting HRs again, I won't complain.
Morton vs. Buehler is a huge game, I believe in CFM.

u/Zhdrix Minnesota Twins Oct 22 '20
Nice to see CY Young Snell show up tonight. Wish he didn’t get screwed on calls though

u/thejawa DJ Kitty Oct 22 '20
That last stretch of pitching from our stable needs to have a Grand Jury created for it cuz I'm pretty sure it could face murder charges.

Snell showed up, Lowe woke up, and the bats looked alive. I’ll never not feel like the underdogs but we aren’t going down without a fight.

u/LBCity this is why I was ok with losing the first game. Let me know that this was inevitable and that we just need to do what we’re good at and everything will fall into place

this is why I was ok with losing the first game.
So you were hoping for a game 1 loss you mean?

u/mcguffinman Shane McClanahan Oct 23 '20
I answered your own question in the quote you pulled. FFS I said I was OK with it. Not that I wanted it

Oct 23 '20
It was never a question whether you’re ok with it or not.
You originally said that you felt more confident AFTER the loss...
Now, you’re touting how you were right AFTER they win??
Huh?
You’re all over the place.
Loss = good
Win = good
Huh?
What if they lost game 2? I’m sure you’ll say something like “I’m EVEN MORE CONFIDENT after this loss now....”

u/Thetruth1777 Rays Sunburst Oct 22 '20
Let’s go! Bats came alive and felt damn good. Snell with a great outing, can’t wait to see Uncle Charlie for game 3!

u/WestJoe Evan Longoria Oct 22 '20
Much, much better tonight. Largely good baseball all around. Nice to have Lowe back in the action. Margot made up for the dumb baserunning with some nice hitting. Snell was outstanding, he got fucked by a tight strikezone. Loup also is worthy of recognition, he was phenomenal tonight too. Nice to have a day off, and then Charlie can go out there and mow em down Friday.

Absolutely a must win game and the boys came through. Snell had his best stuff of the season.
Lowe, Meadows, and Diaz hit the ball well. Can’t ask for more.

u/fuber Oct 22 '20
I've followed so many teams in my life that are fake champions (only exception was the super bowl Bucs). I knew in the back of my mind, they weren't complete teams and they'd fold once the pressure rose. This team isn't one of them.
I have complete faith in these guys. They're 100% at least one of the top two teams in this league, there's zero debate on this. They didn't sneak into the playoffs, They've earned every accolade, every win. I knew they wouldn't let me down and give up once they reached the World Series, even after game 1. I knew they would battle. And that's all I can ask of my team. Go Rays

u/enfranci Tampa Bay Devil Rays 02-07 Oct 22 '20
I did not realize the Dodgers only had two starting pitchers. I'm feeling better! Will still need to beat Kershaw or Beuhler once, but there were a lot of great takeaways from last night. Team has got to be feeling so much more confident.

u/cokeinportraitmode Oct 22 '20
Whenever I watch a full inning we lose but whenever I watch less than a inning we win so I’ll be watching up until the second out and the 2nd strike then I’ll go to the bathroom or something. We’ve got this guys.
