Yikes man...at this point, I kind of hope this team keeps losing just so the changes happen quicker. Even the worst teams in baseball don't look this bad for 10+ games stretches. They find ways to win a game every other series at least. At some point, it's not just the talent on the roster. It's also the coaching staff.

I totally forgot he was even on the coaching staff.

So he just decided not to tell his coaching staff that he was hurt...? I saw they were up 3-0 in the 7th and thought they might actually win a game...then I checked back a few hours later and saw the game ended 12-3. I couldn't care less, but even that shocked me. It's hard to give up 12 runs in 3 innings.

Those teams aren't trying to win. This team is paying people a lot of money to suck.

I wonder what kind of voodoo magic the Tampa Bay front office has come up with. Cause this Rays team ended last season terribly. Now they look nearly unbeatable.

I don't think the tank teams during the rebuild years were even this bad.

IIRC, didn't they try to trade for Lynn but he turned it down?

The pitching staff is horrendous. How long before these guys get Katz fired?

The shape of the pitch flat out sucks. I feel like he throws it in the hitter friendly parts of the zone a lot too which is what you definitely don't want with sliders.

This 2 run lead feels like a deficit with our bullpen.

Liam is now cancer free! https://www.instagram.com/p/CrRhURrPRae/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Great news in the midst of a terrible start to the season.

It's an organizational problem. I feel like they don't teach or preach those things in development. And the FO doesn't really care for it either. How many guys do we have that are juiced on raw power and talent but swing at endless bad pitches? Even a guy like Eloy, who has a very good hit tool, is being limited by his inability to lay off bad pitches.

In a year where they juiced the ball again, we still suck at hitting homers.

A 4 year rebuild resulted in just a 2 year window of actual contention. This core needs a serious retool and without a whole lot coming up from the farm system, I don't see how that's gonna happen. Lucas is gone this off-season. Lynn looks like he's washed and if he continues pitching poorly there's no way his club option gets picked up. If this team is really headed for 90 losses, there's no reason to keep Anderson. This team feels like it's stuck.

It's because the bullpen is terrible. The pitching kept them in games last year even though the offense was s%*#. Without Liam and Cueto coming out of nowhere to give them a 4 WAR season, this pitching staff is toast.

If there's one thing this team is good at, it's consistently losing series.

Man Kimbrel's only throwing 93 now?

There's a reason they went out and got Andrus. Romy and Sosa just aren't ML level hitters right now and they may never be.

If they lose both of these games today, you can probably stick a fork in this team.

Josh Harrison revenge game

And here I thought signing friends and family was a 2019 thing...

Cease throwing 93 can't be a good sign.

Zach sucked it up this game. It's hard to win games when neither he or DeMar have great games. Also Billy decided to take Coby out when he was one of the only guys actually making shots. Then they proceeded to score 1 point the rest of the game...

Diekman in a 3 run game coming off an off day is just beyond dumb.

I don't get how you groove a fastball on 0-2.
