Thank God for TA speed.

Let’s give him more time. He is a Gold Glove winner and has 20 homers.

When is Engel back? Goodwin in the regular lineup is not good.

Goodwin sucks.

We are also have a losing record in one run games.

Not making contact with men at 3rd and less than 2 outs. Not taken any walks. A stupid 3rd base coach. For starters.

We need to make contact more often with men at 3 rd. We are not a contact type of team. Many are swinging for the fences instead.

Moncada has been a rally killer, combined with the stupid sending of Vaughn to the plate with one out has screwed this game up so far. Rays have been helped that Wacha is not walking anyone. Hard to give up only one run with walks and 7 hits.

Everyone is taking full swings and not attempting to just put balls in play.

Yoan has been a dud with RISP. Should not be hitting 5th.

He should be hitting second, not leading off.

Low fastballs inside in the zone to lefties can go a long way.

Disagree. Not with only one out. Vaughn is no speed burner and meadows already had the ball and Vaughn was just rounding third. Too close to call. With 2 outs is OK but not with one out andTA and Robert on the bump.

Yes,he did. Drove me crazy and put him on mute.

Grab some bench!

Making full swings. Not attempting to just make contact with 2 strikes. Abreu not attempting to just move the runner over.

Robert is our most dangerous hitter now with RISP. Moncada has been a dud.

If that is the case we lose. Zunino is a tough dude.

Jose is not trying to move the runner to third, pulling everything and then striking out. Disappointing.

We are getting too spoiled with 20,000+ crowds at GRF. Tampa is not a baseball town.

Yoan 8th inning at bat was also bad. I guess TLR now learnt that we should not let Olson beat us.

TA should have hit for Goodwin. But TLR seldom pinch hits our boppers when they are given a day off, even in game situations.

Particularly the Vaughn miscue ahead of Olson homer. Our defense is now our weakest link, particularly our catchers and outfield corners.

Yes, thanks. I meant with all our guys now back.

The Kopech homer would not have happened if Vaughn would not have committed two errors in one; one by not letting the grounder go to Hernández and the second a bad throw to first. Olson hit the homer with 2 outs and 2 unearned runs resulted. If Abreu would have been playing first instead, that error would not have happened. But shit happens!
