If sitting a couple starters completely takes the wind out of their sails then they have bigger problems than we thought. I think they’re just a streaky team that’s playing a really good team.

chw42 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The Rays can turn any reliever into something. Meanwhile we're ruining a guy who had the best season of all time as a reliever before he got traded to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is a lot of the bench players are having bad seasons (Mendick, Collins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re just a streaky team that’s playing a really good team. Come on. TA and Robert aren’t just a garden variety “couple of starters”. I think we can all agree sitting Collins for Zevala (or Vice versa) and sitting Cesar for Leury would not even close to the same thing as sitting TA for Mendick and Robert for Goodwin. The problem is amplified by Grandal still being out. You can’t take a team like this and subtract offensive / defensive weapons like TA and Robert and sub in scrub AAAA players and expect close to the same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I dont know man.......I just expect more from this team but their manager has set them on coast mode. Which may be fine when u have a huge lead but I worry that this team will not be able to flip the switch. I also want no part of playing the Astros in the 1st round as they have home field advantage.

chw42 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Lopez wasn't bad today, despite the 3 ER. But I think it shows that you can't be a real successful starter by throwing only 2 pitches. The Rays just sat on his slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about how this team is playing right now suggests they can flip the switch. I can only hope that by September everyone is healthy and the ‘load management’ is balanced out by getting the whole team clicking and playing well entering October.
