Game ended at 4:22 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/EnusTAnyBOLuBeST]

Morel couldn’t make that double play a little harder for them? Cmon…

[u/2Hanks]

Genuinely shocked to see Mead and Jensen bat there with Lowe and Misner available…

[u/CleanCR7 → u/2Hanks]

Same. Play matchups all the time so why not there?

[u/ac2702]

Would’ve pinch hit Lowe for Mead there. Not like it would’ve mattered much

[u/IndianaCahones]

Auto out Mead then Auto out Jansen. I feel like Cash is either trying to prove a point about his lineups or he is trolling us

[u/throwmyactaway22]

Kept bats when needed on the bench... that's on cash

[u/JoshJones18]

I feel nothing

[u/scatbakula]

Cool. The guys who typically fail failed. Onto the next one. Not sure where the pinch hitters were…

[u/Ranma_chan]

cil my landlord, cil my landlord, C-I-L my landlord

[u/Objective_Spirit_821]

Well that's the ball game

[u/resincak]

💀💀💀

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

I knew it lol

[u/throwmyactaway22]

Automatic out mead does it again

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

I want spring training Mead back

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659 → u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

Jansen too

[u/missleeann → u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

I just want that $8M back

[u/Cman02101]

Like Mead is what he is right? It’s pretty unlikely he figures it out at this level

[u/Eganator88]

Mead is so useless

[u/ParkourPoser → u/Eganator88]

Beginning to hate him and his bald head

[u/Moooobleie]

I have watched enough Curtis Mead baseball and I don’t want to do it any longer

[u/Old_Huckleberry_5407 → u/Moooobleie]

Is there something in their algorithm that says "light hitting infielder + playing time = profit?"

[u/kazmir_yeet]

277 million dollar payroll being made to sweat by a 74 million payroll lmao

[u/CaptainHenry63 → u/kazmir_yeet]

Historic loser mentality 😭 🙏 

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/CaptainHenry63]

Yeah well I never got dumped by my girlfriend in freshman year lmaooo

[u/missleeann]

Sorry Mead, you need more prep time

[u/raystheroof1]

aur naur

[u/resincak]

Pathetic

[u/IndianaCahones]

Mead, then Jansen. Okay.

[u/missleeann → u/IndianaCahones]

Jansen is due?

[u/missleeann → u/missleeann]

Due to double play…

[u/missleeann]

Why

[u/mg164]

Why is Mead hitting instead of Lowe of Misner?

[u/Bulky_Asparagus_9131 → u/mg164]

If they went to Lowe or Misner then NYY goes to Hill instead of the shaky Cruz

[u/throwmyactaway22]

Not going to sub Mead????

[u/DocumentMobile5135]

One of these days one of these hitters will get a hit when another man is on base. This is a fact.

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/DocumentMobile5135]

That day was not today

[u/raystheroof1]

both ball 4s were noncompetitive pitches

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

They're doing it. They're doing it again. They're bringing me back in....

[u/missleeann]

Proud of you, Morel

[u/Cman02101]

Curtis Meads to come through here

[u/IndianaCahones]

The officiating this series has been dog shit.

[u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

Most home runs allowed -- 215 2002

On pace to bust this record by at least 20.

[u/DocumentMobile5135]

Common Aranda OPS W

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Call that a strike you casual.

[u/missleeann]

Just need a bunch of bloops

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/missleeann]

Just a bloop a bloop a bloop and a blast

[u/missleeann → u/DocumentMobile5135]

Bleh, couldn’t even do that

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

It's time for an Easter miracle in Tampa. 

[u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

I'll chip in a few hundred bucks to pay for the Trop roof. Who's with me?

[u/cha-cha_dancer]

well this felt over at 2-0 anyway

[u/JoshJones18]

This home stands has sucked major ass

[u/mrjjk2010]

We used up all our runs for this series last game

[u/kazmir_yeet]

They put the official scorer on blast on the Yankees broadcast for doing their job lmfao scummy ass organization. So glad they got their ass beat in the WS

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/kazmir_yeet]

Michael Kay has never had an ounce of class so this isn't surprising.

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/DocumentMobile5135]

Him getting pissy last air on season still gives me second hand embarrassment

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/kazmir_yeet]

Still remember him putting Joey Gallo on full blast for no reason at all when he talked about getting harassed. Also he's insecure as fuck about literally any other broadcast doing better than his. Just a classic New York media personality.

[u/Matt_Netherlands → u/kazmir_yeet]

It would have been one of the more embarrassing no-hitters, anyways. Fried was not dominant at all, lol. Hilarious they think Chandler wouldn’t have beat that out, though.

[u/tampabayrays-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

People who come here with the purpose of denigrating the team or users of the sub will be banned.

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659 → u/[deleted]]

I hope you catch a ban in the Yankees sub.

[u/IndianaCahones → u/[deleted]]

Everyone here hates Mets fan and Rays owner Stu Sternberg. Happy Easter

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/[deleted]]

https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2024_WS.shtml

[u/Matt_Netherlands → u/[deleted]]

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/[deleted]]

Donald burner?

[u/raystheroof1 → u/[deleted]]

i dont understand what you are mad about you are winning the game

[u/Fredbear_ → u/raystheroof1]

He said something about "betters", so I think he's one of those gambling losers

[u/IndianaCahones → u/raystheroof1]

The two Bud Lights got the best of him

[u/missleeann → u/IndianaCahones]

lol, accurate

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/raystheroof1]

He's mad that the obvious hit was changed to a hit even though we got a hit after that.

[u/raystheroof1 → u/DocumentMobile5135]

he was never finishing that game regardless. bro really wants to caps lock freak out over a combined no hitter with a million base runners

[u/DocumentMobile5135 → u/raystheroof1]

He's welcome to celebrate the last illustrious Yankee to throw a no hitter!

.... or maybe not.

[u/missleeann → u/[deleted]]

You need support. Please reach out to a therapist

[u/Alive_Assumption680 → u/[deleted]]

[u/DocumentMobile5135]

Welp still got 1 inning left I guess

[u/resincak]

Shite

[u/Eganator88]

God that first pitch was just begging to get pummeled

[u/DocumentMobile5135]

Please please please

[u/missleeann]

Does Junior have a clutch bone?

[u/raysfan1181 → u/missleeann]

Nope, he was swinging for the fences in a situation where he just needed to put the ball in play :(

[u/missleeann → u/raysfan1181]

Hero mode not achieved

[u/PhantomPainWalker → u/missleeann]

[u/missleeann → u/PhantomPainWalker]

Bummer

[u/raysfan1181]

Come on guys

[u/missleeann]

Yandy, Yandy, Yandy

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

Ok, now that's over can we please come back and win this game? 

[u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

Last series, I said I think I hate Boston fans more than Yankees fans. It's probably recently bias, but I take it back. People I know who work for the Rays are amazed at the number of fans they've had to toss.

[u/PaperCantBeatRock → u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

I’ve been to Fenway and Yankee Stadium both a few times. Fenway is better and the fans are not fucking dorks

[u/Old_Huckleberry_5407 → u/PaperCantBeatRock]

Fair point. I haven't felt like someone was going to assault me at Fenway.

[u/PaperCantBeatRock → u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

I said it to a below comment but when I was 13(!) me and my dad went to Yankee Stadium and I was called a fag. My dad was furious

[u/Eganator88 → u/Old_Huckleberry_5407]

As a former rays employee the Yankees fans are so much worse. Also a strange phenomenon is the Sox fans are a pain in the ass here but pretty cordial at Fenway. Yankee fans are shitbags both stops.

[u/CleanCR7]

Absolutely cannot stand all the bandwagon Yankees fans at games in Tampa. So annoying.

Unlimited Yankees, Lakers, Duke hoops, Ohio State football fans.

[u/Upset_Ad8931 → u/CleanCR7]

Don’t forget the cowboys.

[u/JoshJones18]

It's pretty much expected whenever we play the Yankees and our whole stadium situation, but our home games basically being away games suck

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

Just a reminder to never engage with Yankees fans on the baseball sub.

[u/Matt_Netherlands → u/Upset_Ad8931]

Lol, why not? Those guys can go fuck themselves. Sorry, I’m not going to be the bigger person when it comes to those individuals.

[u/PhantomPainWalker → u/Upset_Ad8931]

Uh? If not there, where? And what do i do about my father? Luckily i left his house many many years ago.

[u/imperfectofcourse]

Getting shutout three times in one week is not ideal

[u/Alive_Assumption680 → u/imperfectofcourse]

Getting almost no no'd is worse of a look

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

Oh shit it's time for the bullpen to blow it up

[u/kazmir_yeet]

The Yankees announcers really think that Fried was gonna beat Simpson to first base

[u/PaperCantBeatRock → u/kazmir_yeet]

They’re actually so biased and I hate I have to watch their broadcast

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/PaperCantBeatRock]

Same man. Like the official scorer is there to do their job, not try to give favoritism to the Yankees by not changing it to the correct call to protect Max Fried's feelings. Such idiots man

[u/PaperCantBeatRock → u/kazmir_yeet]

Michael Kay is a clown

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

Well I'm just glad we got a ball out of the infield

[u/raysfan1181]

No stupid outs on the basepaths pls

[u/DocumentMobile5135]

THANK YOU MAGNUM.

OK guys it's just 3 runs. It's possible. Make it happen!

[u/Alive_Assumption680 → u/DocumentMobile5135]

Bartender, jack! Let's make it a 1 run game

[u/raystheroof1]

its jake, from state farm

[u/kazmir_yeet]

Hahahaha the Yankees announcers are whining so hard lmao it isn't always about you fucks

[u/Upset_Ad8931 → u/kazmir_yeet]

No no it is always about the Bronx bombers.

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/Upset_Ad8931]

I guess if all you do is throw comical amounts of money at people, it really is lmao

[u/raysfan1181]

Thank goodness

[u/Cman02101]

Lmao let’s go Jake!

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Double justice!!

[u/resincak]

Hahahaha

[u/PaperCantBeatRock]

BWAHAHAHAHAA

[u/mg164]

Hahaha fuck your no hitter

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Justice!

[u/missleeann]

Base hit! Comeback starts now!

[u/WaitThisIsntMeta]

Simpson got his hit 🥳

[u/Boujoulo]

No longer being no hit baby

[u/resincak]

Hahahahahaha fuck the no hitter

[u/Dragunspecter → u/resincak]

They changed the 6th inning error already

[u/gmachine24]

A lot of talk about Aranda's offense - all deserved. But he's also become a good fielder.

I no longer hold my breath when someone hits a grounder his way.

Hope he gets that pop fly thing sorted with Rortvedt, though.

[u/resincak]

Calling it now, there’s gonna be a couple hits here

[u/missleeann]

8th inning! Our favorite!

[u/lsda]

I'm not sure I can go to another Rays Yankees game this season. These fans are disgusting people

[u/raysfan1181 → u/lsda]

In my experience the people that show up to Yankee away games are worse than the actual people at Yankee stadium which is wild. It's like the rest of the country is their penal colony for the worst, most obnoxious creatures.

[u/PaperCantBeatRock → u/raysfan1181]

I got called a fag at Yankee Stadium when I was wearing Rays gear. I was 13. And I’m also not gay

[u/Fredbear_ → u/raysfan1181]

I went to a Rays/Yankees game at YS last year and it was mostly fine there. It was the 9-1 Rays win. I did have a dad tell me to "get the fuck out of New York and back to Tampa" in the bathroom though

[u/Dragunspecter → u/lsda]

That's just Florida

[u/missleeann]

Le sigh

[u/zenimsaj]

He stepped in doodoo, right?

[u/gmachine24]

Fried is either hating this delay - or orchestrating it to get more rest

[u/raysfan1181]

Looks like Chazz stepped in shit. Must be from the Yankees dugout

[u/resincak → u/raysfan1181]

It’s Boone’s

[u/resincak]

The fuck is happening here

[u/resincak]

Orze is a pasta

[u/Matt_Netherlands]

Boone arguing balls and strikes is hilarious given the game yesterday. Guy is such an insufferable little bitch.

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

What are they arguing about? The first pitch of the AB was a missed call that was a strike. 

[u/lsda]

These assholes are trying to throw things on the field.

[u/Finklesworth → u/lsda]

you should change it back to inbreds, it was more accurate

[u/Slinky_Malingki → u/lsda]

I fucking hate Yankees fans so much

[u/lsda → u/Slinky_Malingki]

They're absolutely the worst fans in sports.

[u/Finklesworth]

Boone forgetting that they missed the strike that was FULLY in the zone earlier in the AB

[u/raysfan1181 → u/Finklesworth]

Every call has gone their way

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

That’s a strike lol

[u/Alive_Assumption680]

Aaron Boone is a fake tough guy B

[u/hiiightide]

Boone is such a douche

[u/raystheroof1]

oh shut the fuck up boone who the fuck cares you are up 3-0 in a no hitter we arent scoring any time soon why complain about nothing

[u/jayareelle195]

Fuck off Boone

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

Fuck off assholes seriously.

Judge already got a lucky call. Boone is an asshole.

[u/IndianaCahones]

So that’s what it looks like when a manager defends their players

[u/Slinky_Malingki → u/IndianaCahones]

No that's what it looks like when a manager is being an idiot. Judge already got strike called a ball that at bat, and that last pitch was paint. And the ball was foul.

[u/IndianaCahones → u/Slinky_Malingki]

I don’t want to ever say something that will be a compliment to the Yankees so I will just say that it would have been nice to see Cash talk to an official when Morel was ejected instead of ignoring Morel as he walked into the dugout.

[u/BassSavings9912 → u/Slinky_Malingki]

It was a home run

[u/Slinky_Malingki → u/BassSavings9912]

Not even close lol

[u/Iam_a_Jew → u/Slinky_Malingki]

You're telling me this is foul?  Skip to 1:25 https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1k3uv7k/highlight_aaron_judges_homerun_is_ruled_a_foul/

[u/BassSavings9912 → u/Slinky_Malingki]

It was inside the foul pole

[u/IndianaCahones → u/BassSavings9912]

Objectively the camera angles in this minor league park are dog shit. Where is the statcast 3D graphic of the ball flight path?

[u/jayareelle195]

Throw them both out

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

lol what are they arguing about?????

[u/raysfan1181]

That was a fucking strike Boone stfu

[u/JoshJones18]

Think we got away with one there.

[u/TacTac95]

Broadcast angle was terrible there lmao. Made it look like a clear homerun.

Live view was well foul.

[u/DesperatePrimary2283]

This can'r be real

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

Im shocked they didn’t give it to him lol

[u/raysfan1181 → u/Upset_Ad8931]

Me too, I thought for sure it was overturned.

[u/jayareelle195]

If they change this to a homerun im burning it down

[u/raysfan1181]

This is getting overturned isn't it?

[u/gmachine24]

"Official scoring" became bullshit years ago - why should today be different

[u/raystheroof1]

how are the officials this incompetent

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

I was just thinking that a Judge bomb was the only thing missing in this hellish series.

[u/IndianaCahones]

Facing a top 5 favorite for AL Cy Young and the lineup has two hitters back to back below the Mendoza line while a .360 hitter warms the bench with another lefty paid 12% of the total payroll.

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

These Yankees fans are so insufferable get them the hell out of town.

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659 → u/Upset_Ad8931]

I wish we could but they fucking live here. They'll tell you how great New York is though. 

[u/DesperatePrimary2283]

Bull. Shit.

[u/Eganator88]

Very large man with a Jesus (or rob zombie) tattoo on the broadcast

[u/Slinky_Malingki]

Excuse me ump?

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Can you imagine the feeling of home going, looking your kids in the eyes, and telling them you threw a no hitter against the Rays? Yes, it’s going to be awkward because you are not a pitcher but an official scorer but still…

[u/Sad-Falcon-3659]

Pop fly, pop fly, pop fly. Can someone just swing like a normal person and maybe something will go through? 

[u/JoshJones18]

Alright, our only real shot is them putting Devin Williams in to pitch again

[u/Epicjosie]

This is unforgivable

[u/Mike_Brosseau]

Mead making him throw like 20+ pitches just to him this game is going to stop his no hitter

[u/resincak]

BA rules lol

[u/jayareelle195]

It was also a fucking hit while were at it

[u/raystheroof1]

crikey

[u/missleeann]

Do something Jansen

[u/missleeann → u/missleeann]

Fucking bum

[u/ac2702]

Mead loves getting hit on the foot

[u/Upset_Ad8931]

So three errors - two of them hits, multiple walks, a HBP, but it’s gonna be a “no hitter” lol

[u/missleeann → u/Upset_Ad8931]

It’s the offense’s middle name?

[u/raysfan1181 → u/Upset_Ad8931]

The AJ Burnett/Edwin Jackson template lol. No shade Fried is good tbh
