@ECloskyWTSP Thanks for all the great Rays content @ECloskyWTSP!

@Ry_Bass @Brewers Thanks for a great season and all the hard work this year @Ry_Bass! Tough end, but this group will be back.

@RaysTheRoofTB (Post)SEASON

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@RaysTheRoofTB I know offense has been a struggle all post season. Maybe I’m crazy, but it feels like they threw small ball out the window. Almost no bunt hits. A few sac bunts. Unusual steal attempts/lack of attempts. Nothing to spark things.

@TheWARmonger_ @TJenksTampa @AramLeighton8 @JustBB_Media @RaysTheRoofTB @MLBRaysWay @RaysBaseball What makes it look even less impressive is the fact that he slows down because his jump was so good.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@kalhoosher @ECloskyWTSP He's definitely not afraid of the moment. His changeup is filthy when he's on. His interview w/@ECloskyWTSP last night he said he felt like he had it last night. Pratt just put a better swing on a good pitch. If the Rays can win it, they'll need Ian, Matz or both to be big!

@draysbay OPS - Williamson .306, DeLuca .464, Mesa .493, Fortes .000, Walls .347.
I mean, what did we expect?

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@RaysTheRoofTB Tomorrow’s lineup has to be: Yandy, Aranda, Junior, Hicks, Simpson, Mullins, DeLuca, Palacios, Walls

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@MarkDelFig9sga @ECloskyWTSP I’m not blaming Cash. The roster is what it is. MIL is great, no doubt, but you still have to put out your best guys to compete. Trotting out 5 guys w/an OPS under .500 is something. 3 are under .350 and one is .000. That’s tough to compete with.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@MarkDelFig9sga @ECloskyWTSP Didn’t say that. You have to play your best players though.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@JacobsonOnAir Game was over when the lineup card was posted.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@draysbay Williamson better. Cash trotted him out in the 5 hole with confidence. He better confidently hand him the ball to pitch tonight too.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@CCTHEHEAD @ECloskyWTSP Add the line drive that hit his glove as well in game one.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@ZacOnTheMic This game was doomed when the lineup card came out. Players have to perform, but you can’t trot out your worst possible lineup and expect to win.

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@darby_robinson @benwhitelaw73 @OPS_BASEBALL I think what makes it look worse is Williamson behind Junior. If I was trotting out this group I’d go: Yandy, Junior, Vilade, Fortes, Simpson, DeLuca, Williamson, Mesa, Walls
Slots pinch hit opportunities in the 3, 4, 6 slots.

@PZalupski Excited to see the guys turn it around at home! Wish I could've made a WS game this year, but tickets just too much. Hoping to get to a game 6 and come for the watch party though. #RaysUp

[Brenton Shephard @BrentonShephard]

@Flewellen727 They got this! Series turns tonight. #RaysUp
