Squander Sox again. One of the stories of the season. I object to this use of "squander." They had a runner on first with two outs. Then two guys in a row got on before a guy made the last out. It was never likely that they would score a run in that inning.
IMO, the criteria for a proper squander are: - Runners on first AND runner on second, no one out; team fails to score. - Runners on first or second AND runner on third, one out; team fails to score.

Not worried about the tie game. If we ever need a run we can just have someone stick their elbow into the strike zone.
This ballpark is absolutely cursed and I am salty
Edit: Aaaaand 4-3

Cora regrets all his bullpen moves.

Why should I rely on “statistics” that I don’t even understand when I have the analysis of some of the fine folks here?
Anyone who watches most games already knows more than the manager or the front office. And fans are never prone to bias, exaggeration and logical fallacies the way data can be. I know what I see.

No power and no bullpen = sub .500 until both are corrected.

The Rays have had silly luck today, we have played better.

I reserve the right to use the term. They're taken it to a true art form this year.

I’m not saying I regret trading Margot…. but I am saying he tirned into a better ballplayer than I ever expected.

unfortunate for Brujan, but he was blocking the bag.

Lol you'd think Brujan would learn not to stick his joints into harm's way. Has he played baseball before? It's amazing this lesson hasn't been learned the hard way yet.

I’m sorry to admit it: I’m low-key pulling for the Rays in this series. I don’t want to see them lose a game in the standings to the Yankees. Same with the Blue Jays. Keep the heat on.

Umpire destroyed the game. I stopped watching soccer and basketball over things like this -_-

Games on Cora IMO, you don’t go to Familia with a 1 run lead.

Plenty of blame to go around...the pen, and the bats. Offense dries up after the first few innings.

Screwy stuff always happens in Tampa. That was a pretty strange game. And Beeks, Margot - and Cash - ex Sox always seem to "help"
Can we jettison some dead wood yet?
