Let’s hope this is the turning point.

Haven’t seen this Springer since game 1

 

[Blitzkrug]

Let this be the wakeup call.

I said it yesterday that they just need an inning where they smack the **** out of the opposing pitchers. Hopefully this is the one.

 

[MS]

Some of these hits would have been nice sprinkled through the last week but they needed this, badly.

 

[canucksfan]

Nice to see some power too. Smart baseruning as well.

Only thing that sucks is Berrios has been waiting a long time.

 

[MK78]

10-0. Can this game wake this team up?

Only thing that sucks is Berrios has been waiting a long time.

Yeah first pitch massive homer lol.

 

[Eyedea]

The one big issue I will say about Varsho’s hitting is he’s been under a lot of pitches. He leads the league in infield fly ball %. Someone’s gotta notice that and make a tweak to his swing.

 

[canucksfan]

I thought you couldn’t put in a position player until the 9th to pitch?

 

[red devil]

Position player pitching for the Rays as Raley is pitching

I thought you couldn’t put in a position player until the 9th to pitch?

MLB approves new rule to cut down on position players pitching ahead of 2023 season, per report

There were a record number of position players on the mound in 2022

www.cbssports.com

Under the new guidelines, leading teams have to be up by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning in order to let a position player pitch while trailing teams can use a position player anytime it's down by eight or more runs. Position players are also allowed to pitch anytime in extra innings.

 

[MK78]

Didn't they change some rule that prevents position players from pitching?

nevermind didnt refresh the thread.

 

[Eyedea]

Ernie Clement baby

 

[The Nemesis]

Jesus Vladdy. That ball had a family.

 

[Eyedea]

Thank you Raley

 

[HockeyThoughts]

I almost feel bad for these TB pitchers.. almost. But I don't.

 

[Forgotusername]

Oh noes Vladdy went against old-school baseball fans

 

[MK78]

haha that was hilarious... not that the score matters, but because Vladdy struck out quite badly to the guy in the 8th...

 

[trellaine201]

He has lost weight.

He looks good! I really like Ryu. Hope he makes a successful comeback.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Hopefully no Karens from Tampa take issue with this.

 

[shaner8989]

All we needed was to face positional players.

This is actually wild lol

 

[Suntouchable13]

What do you do? Do you just let up? What's baseball etiquette in these situations?

 

[Eyedea]

All 9 came with 2 outs too lol. Take that 2 out RISP average

 

[canucksfan]

What do you do? Do you just let up?

Nope. They are putting in positional players

 

[trellaine201]

All we needed was to face positional players.

This is actually wild lol

Pretty safe lead..i think

 

[MK78]

Well this means the Jays wont score any more runs for the 2 games left lol...

Pretty safe lead..i think

Bring in Garcia. He'll give it his best to blow it.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Nope. They are putting in positional players

No, I know. But I am just wondering what is baseball etiquette? Is it ok to keep swinging? I just hope nobody from the other side takes issue with this. Not that I care if they do, just wondering

 

[Puckstuff]

Good on the Jays to pound their position players tbh.
