So has there been a conversation of the scary strikeout numbers here yet?

36 in 26 innings and half of those are from the big 4 (Bautista, EE, Donaldson, Tulo), so it's not like Cola, Pillar, Goins, etc are the reason (our only hitter with an AB without a K is mother****ing Thole!).

So is this a Tampa's pitching staff is really good at striking people out, or is this something to worry about going forward?

Quite stupid by Jose to trip him...would have been a close-call at 1st.

Not good leadership:(

The real controversy here is that Gregg Zaun just said 'sissy', now social justice warriors will throw a hissy fit
the other week he got called a racist by somebody on here for insinuating that Cam Newton is a showboat

qb of the only team who's receivers aren't allowed to do end-zone dances because their quarterback prefers to kick them out of the way so he can dance like a stripper for the cameras instead

so yeah, at least one guy somewhere will use that as an excuse to make a public spectacle of themselves and call Zaun a homophobe or some other mindless thing

Brilliant outing by Sanchez overshadowed by the call at the end. (and Cecil)

You just know Tampa will eek out a win tomorrow too and get gift wrapped a series split when we should have game 3 in the bag.

He broke a rule.

You've never been allowed to grab an opposing player.

159 games left, nothing to be salty about. Jose just goofed.

He slide straight to the bag and didn't intend to injure Forsythe. We know.

He also said perhaps he did interfere with him. Is it okay to go straight for the bag with your legs and swipe with your arms? Seems like you're altering your path there.

He said he was told you can't slide with your hands up in the air anymore. He said he's not going to slide with his hands on the ground to risk injury. He said he may have caught his leg on his slide because of that but he didn't alter his path towards the bag
