The absolute most Dave Roberts outcome of this game would be Kershaw blowing the save
I might even practice doing that.
Selfishly, the difference between hitting .270 and .320 is not that many hits, but it’s a lot of money.
Is Jansen unavailable?
I mean, it’s crazy. Sure, home runs are great. Doubles into the gaps are great. Dude, half of the fucking infield is wide ass open. O p e n. They now have four guys in the outfield like slow pitch softball. Hit it to the girl for fuck’s sake.

You would think that will be taken advantage of…someday. But I’m well versed in the general intelligence level of the average pro baseball player.
eta: not saying they’re dumbasses, just saying they’re meatheads
Bellinger points to himself “Me?”
I’ve talked to enough of these guys over the years to know that a good number of them are not stupid. I would guess that their agents tell them, correctly, too, most likely, that singles don’t mean shit to your next contract.
That was a strike last half inning.
Strike zone has shrunk considerably now.
Rays getting the shit squeezed out of them now.
HPU may have agreed.
Now the plate is all over the place
That was strike 3

Fuck. Evert pitch to Barnes has been a strike.
Ok, here we go.
Pretty sure the Rays got Fairbanks from the Rangers for some AAAA middle infielder.
Meaningless factoid, but I like it.

Of all the pitches that Arozarena has not hit into the stratosphere…that 2-0 85mph meatball is the most ridiculous.
Didn’t even swing.
The Rays batting averages (I know, how arcane) are anemic.
Seven players tonight have WS BAs .188 or below.
