Not Yankees fans coming in here talking shit about the Rays after getting swept.

[u/qbsweep1]

Fun prank from the video room there

[u/MindoverMatter92]

Yankees fans are terrorizing this sub tonight.

[u/TheSmellofFemale → u/MindoverMatter92]

They don’t have their kids this week

[u/Paprikahh → u/MindoverMatter92]

They should just go to their team’s game threads…oh wait

[u/spiderwinder23 → u/MindoverMatter92]

Tons of salt mines after getting swept. At least other teams see what they do lol

[u/Kitchen_accessories]

Can we stop with these mid-AB ads? How greedy can you possibly be?

[u/Lansdallius]

No idea why we're getting anti-Sherrod Brown ads on the national broadcast, but he seems better than the other guy.

[u/goms546]

We’re OLD and we’re EASILY SCARED and WE VOTE

[u/SaddestClown → u/goms546]

And yes I'm holding onto my house I bought for a thousand dollars

[u/DTRMNTSband]

Does your stadium have a ray tank? I thought so

[u/530josh → u/DTRMNTSband]

My stadium sleeps in a big bed with its wife

[u/IAmTheWaller67]

Cannot fathom letting a tech startup implant something into me to effect my breathing.

[u/Sportacles]

At the forging of the Great Rings, four were given to Tropicana Stadium, who above all else desired power

[u/falstaffheathcliff]

If the guards don't score a couple runs next inning their odds of winning the game are pretty slim

[u/spiderwinder23 → u/falstaffheathcliff]

Big if true 

[u/Ragingroseman]

Extremely unethical Rays Ball right there

[u/spiderwinder23 → u/Ragingroseman]

You love to see it

[u/Falling-James]

Baseball’s great because I’ve worked construction with a hundred dudes who look exactly like Parker Messick

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

[u/stormchaser2014]

Anyone know where I can find a dead horse to beat?

[u/Ricos_Roughnecks]

Man who called down THAT challenge

[u/stormchaser2014]

You see skin move how do you challenge that??

[u/Fsharp7sharp9]

filthy move, holy shit

[u/Maddie6448]

Those Devil Ray jerseys must be good luck gotta be some of the nicest jerseys in the MLB

[u/Gusanito99]

They're just trying to piss people off lmao. Mentioning the rings every time a ball goes more than 10 feet in the air

[u/Key_Environment8179]

Before ABS, we just accepted those massively consequential dogshit calls

[u/reskk]

Chris Pratt starring as an ICE agent hunting down a 3 year old orphan

[u/Gusanito99]

Rays forgetting how to bunt is a recession indicator

[u/mateohatepotato]

I’ve never wayched anything Sydney Sweeney is in but based upon that commercial she doesn’t seem like a great actress.

[u/CuriousEyes02]

I'm sure there's always been bad ads, but it feels like it's been cranked up a ton over the years

[u/nexustk5 → u/CuriousEyes02]

There was a brief renaissance in the 2000's, but then everyone wanted to be GEICO and it ruined everything

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

About as good of a pickoff as you'll ever see.

[u/The-Ephus]

Don't get a replay of the actual pickoff move. MUST RUSH TO MONEY PRINTER COMMERCIALS.

[u/Visible-Atmosphere72]

3 runs because of a 2 out error, that is brutal

[u/johnboyjimmy]

“Forecasting” “Predicting” “Traders” such insidious language for gambling

[u/lewisherber]

Kwan looked pretty fast there … kinda guy who could have made it home from first on a double

[u/Theinfamousgiz]

Some how the Sydney Sweeney x Novig ad got worse

[u/RustledHard]

Love Hedgy pointing at the mark the ball left when they challenged lol So strange, but I'll take it

[u/b24liberator7]

Just read that the population of Tampa was only 700 people in 1880, and Miami was under 300. I just think that's neat

[u/Majestic_Dildocorn]

One day Simpson will hit a home run... That day is not today..

In my head, he hits a grandslam to win the world series, and then never again

[u/HeavyMetalTriangle]

Honestly surprised the pitcher wasn't shocked when the booking ad took over the batter's body. I would have been freaked out.

[u/TodashChimes19]

[u/spiderwinder23 → u/TodashChimes19]

JUUUUUUUSSSSSTTTT a bit outside 

[u/xASUdude]

The TBS broadcast crew is so far and away better than Fox its sad

[u/a-warm-fuzzy-feeling]

While we pause for an ad that shows all the "Rays" gear...I'd like to formally propose eliminating that and going back to "Devil Rays." Thank you for attending my TED talk.

[u/spiderwinder23 → u/a-warm-fuzzy-feeling]

Old boomers would have our head for simply mentioning devil sadly 

[u/npa190]

These unis go hard, why on earth did they ever switch

[u/Baseball_is_the_best]

What a dumbass challenge

[u/The-Pharcyde]

not sending kwan is crazy

[u/boinkl]

BUY BONER PILLS BUY BONER PILLS

[u/neurovish]

Is TBS watching this thread? They stopped talking about the rings right as the dringking game was really hitting its stride.

[u/Theinfamousgiz]

So I donno what happened to advertising but right now every commercial is pissing me off:

1) the Sydney Sweeney x Novig prediction market where just it makes everything feel bleak and dirty

2) that pointless Kalshi dentist ad

3) the glp1 Medicare ad - where it starts with - my mom gave me an eating disorder and ends with now you can act on that eating disorder under Medicare.

4) the rehashing of a 2013 gieco hump day ad

5) that hotel commercial where mom is supposed to exasperated from the beach day - but absolutely nothing about it seems exasperating

6) the ro sparks Meghan Fox in a full gimp suit.

[u/neurovish]

Insane pickoff move

[u/isitatomic]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3oz8xs8WYZr0dJV3kQ

[u/transam96]

Man you can't get picked off there. Bad baserunning just annoys the hell out of me even if that one benefits my team. Lol

[u/OwnABMWImBetterThanU]

The first LHP pickoff in years that isn’t just a balk

[u/nikefreak23]

Tampa should just always wear these Devil Ray unis, so clean

[u/MapExpansion]

How about we get some nostalgia and go 15 innings again like 2022

[u/threehundredthousand]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Xf11Bba4Lfcd1jR0fD

[u/falstaffheathcliff]

Oh boy I wonder what the politics of these old white boomers are, it could be anything

[u/reizinhooooo]

why Novig putting softcore pornography on my screen I'm watching a baseball game

[u/530josh]

Gambling ad, political ad, boner pill ad, naked Sydney Sweeney ad

It’s for you dawg it’s lit

[u/TheRealBlackSwan]

My 13yo cousin asked who "that girl" was and I told him Sydney Sweeney and now he shifted to the corner of the couch and is engrossed in his phone

[u/yomama1211]

Oh yeah don’t show his cool entrance I need more
Ads

Fuck off bro

[u/Knook7]

[u/Nightcinder]

no ABS hedgey?!

[u/eb12se4nt-z13ow-97g0]

These double plays are going to be the end of me

[u/TGans]

The Tampa Bay Double Plays

[u/reiks12]

fuck kalshi

[u/Mike_Brosseau]

Legendary Trade deadline for the Rays

[u/yamborma]

I've seen this commercial like 20 times and I still have no clue what Novig is.

[u/amarus]

Reddit scoreboard giving me spoilers.. get pissed. then see it on stream and even more pissed.

[u/mateohatepotato]

Rays got a gift and kinda laid down after that

[u/johnboyjimmy]

I never realized how much of a gift “commercial break in progress” is until I had to watch a stream with the ads and now I just sit back and relax to random ballpark sounds

[u/Emotional_Signal7883]

https://giphy.com/gifs/d77o7i3tHnKda

[u/Sportacles]

The devilishly handsome rays

[u/Emotional_Signal7883]

They legit named that the Big Ass Bag? Like in Idiocracy?

[u/hangingsliders]

Goddamn those cowbells are PRESENT

[u/amarus]

was starting to sweat a little that inning.

[u/theuberprophet]

thats the second time the ball has skidded on us instead of bouncing and gone under the player. happened to kwan yesterday but it didnt hurt us.

[u/MA202]

What is the splash every time a ball lands in the outfield? Is it water or sand or what?

[u/BaseballBot]

Junior Caminero's leaping catch (0:27)

[u/neurovish]

The only time the Rays broadcasters mention the rings is if a ball actually hits one…which is not often.

[u/Spark3420]

Man I just love political ads while I try to watch sports

-Said no one ever

[u/yamborma]

I find Caminero and Mesa kind of annoying but not in a "play the game the right way" way, but more like a "let's beat these guys if they're going to talk their shit" kind of way, which I think is fine and just competitive I guess.

[u/CuriousEyes02]

Nobody has made me hate Ohio and Florida as much as the GOP has. Like seriously, it's getting ridiculous!

[u/emograndparent]

always love 2 see the ray tank cam whenever they show it

[u/ethandyson42]

SHUT UP ABOUT THE RINGS LMFAO

[u/SleepLessTeacher]

If I tried to throw like Kevin Kelly I’m pretty sure I’d need Tommy John on the first pitch.

[u/IAmTheWaller67]

This ump has an... interesting strike zone.

[u/TheSmellofFemale]

I think this umpire is old enough to be in the Sherrod Brown ad

[u/Briggity_Brak]

How do you not score on a 2-out double?

[u/minimcfinny]

Great neutral watch, is it just me or are games at the trop lowkey fun to watch

[u/bopaqod]

“Right to Kwan”

I wholeheartedly disagree that that was “right to” him lmao

[u/anewexperience123]

Kalshi, Novig, Polymarket, Shohei, the gambling needs to stop

[u/yamborma]

So advertisers think everyone that watches baseball is a horny degenerate who only gambles and goons?

[u/Theinfamousgiz]

How is this hump day ad still running

[u/Redprice13]

I’ll just say to Rays fans, I’ve seen a lot of haters from other teams in the chat and that’s a shame. Y’all got a good squad and deserve to have your playoff games without all their bitter sniping.

[u/mxza10001 → u/Redprice13]

AL East is filled with a bunch of vocal fanbases and the Orioles

[u/mortificial → u/Redprice13]

It's actually kinda crazy that the discourse between Cleveland and Tampa flairs has been mostly friendly, and it's just faded out flairs being shitty.

[u/mateohatepotato]

BREAKING NEWS: 26 MLB stadiums are empty for the rest of the season

[u/TIM81DE]

For anyone that doesn't know, Plant City, FL has a strawberry festival with the best strawberry milkshakes. The overall experience will vary, but food is always a hit. I invite my Cleveland friends to come enjoy the festivities.

[u/HandBananas]

Rays are certified gaslighters

[u/Heuruzvbsbkaj]

Worst challenge? wtf

[u/Redprice13]

Bizarre choice by Cash and the boys

[u/Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp]

Do they challenge calls without looking at the video first?

[u/Nightcinder → u/Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp]

no, they were on the phone and the video replay room said to challenge, aka idiots

[u/NPC30519]

What an absolute moronic challenge. Like legitimately what the fuck

[u/fan131313]

You are telling me he is a rookie? He is having a veteran performance so far.

[u/theybannedme129]

Oops guys the at-bat was too long we have to play an ad to keep the ad quota up

[u/Zloggt]

Kalshi starting this ad campaign the very same day Ronald got eliminated from the playoffs is an all time moment of unintentionally funny timing lmao

[u/Big_Shot_Bob13]

maybe chasing the high fastball for the 30th time will work

[u/Spiritual_Side2776]

These Devil Rays uniforms are absolutely mint 👌🏻

[u/IndecisiveTuna]

Def out at 2nd, safe at 1st.

[u/HipnotiK1]

Not converting that DP was the first domino

[u/deathtotheemperor]

With the Mutumbo finger wag!

[u/mateohatepotato]

Wait did a guy wave his finger in a non sold out stadium? ———breaks coffee table

[u/zippy_the_cat]

Freddy thought that was gone, lol. Nice to be wrong about that if you’re a pitcher.

[u/johnboyjimmy]

Since we’re all getting political ads from places we don’t live in, how about I pitch my partner’s campaign who’s running for city council in rural British Columbia

[u/SleepLessTeacher → u/johnboyjimmy]

What’s he need, like 3 votes to win?

[u/mxza10001]

The rare six inning freddy

[u/IndecisiveTuna]

Solid outing by Peralta

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

Good God, y'all. A second Sydney Sweeney Novig ad has hit the MLB playoffs.

[u/nexustk5]

Betting on wars might lowkey be the beginning of the end

[u/whynot1045]

The Rays are basically just all the Backyard Baseball players

[u/spiderwinder23]

The rings talk might kill me

[u/Charupa- → u/spiderwinder23]

It’s such an uncommon occurrence, but every mid pop-up, “avoids the rings.”

[u/Few_Entertainer_385]

genuinely awful call

[u/the-real-macs]

5th catcher to hit game-tying HR in 7th inning or later in ALCS

who the FUCK cares bro lol

[u/Few_Entertainer_385]

that’s a professional at bat

[u/CataclysmClive]

the synchronized thumbs up 👍 👍 from the dugout is a fun celebration

[u/whynot1045]

WATCH THE RINGS JOSE

[u/nexustk5]

War is just like Call of Duty bro go to WAR DOT GOV bro sign right here bro!

[u/Firebolt2012]

Our pitching 6-8th inning is gonna kill me, like it’s so shaky it’s insane

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

It pains me to hear BA’s excellent announcing cadence reading a Kalshi ad.

[u/Page_302]

Fuck Kalshi and their gambling - I mean prediction - ads

[u/rbhindepmo]

these Sydney and Megan ads involving way too much talking

[u/Pasco08]

I am starting to flap harder......

[u/TheSmellofFemale]

Slade Cecconi sounds like a bully in a 90s TV show

[u/lewisherber]

Glad to see the GOP is wasting money on Ohio senate ads I’m seeing a state many hundreds of miles away

[u/SnowballWasRight → u/lewisherber]

Oh so NOW they care about VA benefits. But only when it’s to own the libs and those immigrants

[u/SocialRemedial]

Megan Fox boner pill or Sydney Sweeney sports betting, which way Western man?

[u/anon7631]

Good job on the director switching to the dugout camera to catch that angry walk back to the phone.

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

another walk for mariner legend ben williamson 😤

edit: mariner legend ben williamson wtf are you doing.

[u/katje]

damn that was slick

[u/Solid-Confidence-966]

Is there anything preventing them from just going back to the Devils Rays? They’re already wearing the jerseys anyway lol

[u/-orangejoe]

Jo Adell is so cool

[u/mortificial]

The amount of men LOB has been a problem all year, and was a problem against the Yankees too. The Rays might finally be getting punished for it.

[u/Animethighssavelive]

God dammit

[u/Stalukas]

What’s been popping in my mind every Yandy at bat

[u/SecureToday4132]

So every fan base complains about LOB

[u/Yesalmsot]

Okay everyone cough up half of that shot you just took

[u/aaronjaiden]

They’re saying it’s the most Chandler Simpson hit of all time

[u/ThisGuy6266]

I had a Ninja Turtle toy with a Devil Rays uniform when they were an expansion team in ‘98.

[u/Wandering__Bear__]

Is it just me or does every pitch sound like it hits the bat tonight? Even if there’s no swing or a whiff it sounds like a crack of the bat when it hits the glove.

[u/ethandyson42]

These announcers:

[u/cm167]

Rays legend Petey Halpin?

[u/ethandyson42]

GG Freddy

[u/ChugDix]

Imagine leaving the Mets and becoming elite again

[u/Wet-for-Mrs-Met]

I just realized this is a matchup of teams who had to change their names because they were deemed offensive. Except in the Rays case they did it a lot sooner because of a few overzealous religious wackos

Adell falls for that pitch every. Single. Time.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

The day Tom Hamilton decides to hang up the headset is gonna be one of the saddest days in Cleveland history. Guardians fans are so lucky.

[u/spiderwinder23]

12 insurance runs would be great

Great at bat. Tough ending. Great pitching

I’ve got like zero beef with Cleveland at all. I think Kwan looks so cool when he’s at the place, such a clam neutral demeanor.

If the guardians scores more than the rays, then I think they win this game
