Huge series win, this one felt good. Honourable mention to Kirky, he had a great series, just wanted to give Berrios some love for his great start.
The Kooch is, indeed, loose.
I really feel like Pop is gonna light up the league some day soon
Yusei ❤️ Bo ❤️ Jose ❤️
It really makes you feel good that it’s the backend of the team’s rotation that stopped and even dominated the divisional rival with a historic winning streak
Bo is hitting out of his mind right now
Who would’ve thought that Manoah would be the one to get lit up by the Rays.
I’m so glad Kikuchi crushed it this week!
I like this graphic and look forward to seeing more of them. Especially ones where Kikuchi and Berrios have sparkling stat lines.
Manoah 🙁
Man oh.. awe..
Bo Bichette fux rays
Is one star the best or 3?
Berrios and Kikuchi are lights out and manoah gets rocked. What kind of alternate reality are we living in?
I’m loving the Kooch redemption arc!
I find the lack of homers disturbing
Might have all been low leverage, but seeing Richards give us some scoreless innings out of the pen is encouraging. We need that without a long man
1HR.
ave 4 runs/game in the series is not enough for the caramilk secret
For as much as I might be hesitant about Trevor Richards when he comes in, that stat line speaks volumes.
Only 2 HRs from a starter and 4 overall (the other 2 being with a 6-1 lead) is damn impressive. The Rays came in cracking multiples per game. They had 8 in the three prior games.
It sure would be nice if all of our starters were good at the same time.
Great post, again! Crazy that Chapman’s line was so poor when he hit so many balls well.
On Manoah, saw a tweet today where a guy noted that his actual pitches aren’t far off in terms of speed/spin/shape (down a bit but not a ton), but also that his extension is up by 2 inches, pushing his release height down by 1-1.5 inches, and he’s moved a bit on the rubber. No idea whether some or all of this is intentional, but it does make sense that if he was trying to push his extension farther tbat it’s made his mechanics and release point inconsistent. Mostly though, if his pitches are still mostly what they are, finding that consistent release point is hopefully just a matter of getting more reps and getting used to any offseason changes he was trying. He’ll get there.

So the Rays won total overall run production. Sadly, for them, there is no prize for that.
Merrifield needs more at bats
