You see because the Yankees have scored a lot of runs today, their fans think that they should be awarded wins elsewhere in the season.

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

You missed the part where he has been officially declared guilty, just not being sentenced.

So he still has a criminal record and is very unlikely to be able to ever return to the USA

[AP @TalksToPeople]

The Rays have to pay out Wander Franco's contract

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

@benwhitelaw73 Yankees fans think citing any old stat is ‘analytics’ apparently

[Yankees Files @YankeesFiles]

This would be one way to look at a comparison of the Yankees and Rays.

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

@Fan42Rays Same amount of Division Titles and less wins in WS games… Idk if more wild card appearances and early exits give you ‘legendary’ status

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Rays have won more WS games than the Yankees this decade btw

[kinetic @dontviewsports]

yeah this team is generational rage bait for yankees fans

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

@benwhitelaw73 This might be tweet of the season so far

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

It’s @TheRaysin and it’s not close

[galio @galiotbr]

The face of Rays twitter is not the SleeperRays account can we be serious

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Jom and Jake have explicitly said on this show they dislike the Rays and that’s fine considering they support an inter-division team.

But you’ve got to put that aside when doing a whole MLB podcast for it to work. So glad Trev provides a bit of balance.

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

Rays would get more respect if the American League wasn't so bad

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

@benwhitelaw73 @Desmondt813 Idk if it’s anecdotal but lazy analysis definitely feels more prevalent this year. It might be because the Rays are good and most Twitter people hate that so need to find narratives idk

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Him regressing because he played at Steinbrenner last year remains the laziest analysis of all time

[Running From The OPS @OPS_BASEBALL]

Junior Caminero’s 13th HR of the season is a 105.8 MPH EV, 380 FT opposite field shot.

He already had a 116.8 MPH EV earlier in the game and is now posting a 138 wRC+ over his 200 PAs.

My beef with the MLB Standings page + Rays pregaming!!

@WhoSteen Tbh I am not putting much stock in that either! Too small a sample for me to care about that kind of thing

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

This may very well be bait but I also know a lot of people put genuine stock in Run Differential and xW-L.

I don’t have time to write a thread today about it but I’ll make my case on the pod tomorrow as to why I believe it’s not worth much & and how you can read stats better

[steen.quarantine @WhoSteen]

@depressedrays Rays fan that doesn’t believe in predictive metrics. Go root for the Rockies

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Also doesn’t matter lol

[steen.quarantine @WhoSteen]

People only care about this stat when they have a narrative to push. It has been proven to be amongst the weakest statistically significant stats. Run differential on the other hand..

[MLB Hall of Pretty Good @hallofgoodpod]

I’m just a guy who misses watching Sam Fuld play for the Rays

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Jays fans acting like they’ve done ANYTHING other than last year when the Rays have had more playoff and WS appearances AND hundreds of more wins since for the past 20 years is embarrassing

[UK Rays Boi @depressedrays]

Rays good!! Why??
