1. I DON’T CARE. BASEBALLS BACK, BAYBEEEE

2. 🙁

3. I’m just glad baseball’s back

4. 75-80 win season upcoming

5. 2024 Rays are going to be a .500 team with Yandy Diaz going 5-5 every game

6. Such a shame with all the rain outs that the rays didn’t play today. I was excited, but oh well! Looking forward to tuning in tomorrow to watch the Tampa Bay Rays, who have not yet played a game of baseball in the 2024 MLB regular season!

7. Sucks that we lost opening day… but hey we’ve got the whole season ahead of us!

8. Some of the same problems as last year. Pitcher imploding after a rough start to an inning, Cash warming the bullpen up too late, multiple runs with 2 outs, and stranding runners from zero outs. But whatever, baseball is back and it’s only the first game with some injured people to come back

9. Well, that sucked

   BUT BASEBALL THOOOOOO

10. This sucked but Yandy Diaz is lifting the ball so we can be happy about that

11. Yay baseball is back also booo.

12. We outhit the Jays, and lost by 6.

    We went 1-8 with RISP.

    RAYS BASEBALL IS BACK BABY 🥳🥳🥳

13. BASEBALL IS BACK BABY ALL HAIL YANDY!

14. Yandy is the Diamond of the Season!

15. Despite getting shelled in the 6th, Eflin actually looked really good. Was basically unhittable for 5 innings, except for one mistake pitch. This loss comes down to way too many free bases, and Cash leaving Eflin out for way too long. After two homers in the same inning it was obvious that he was gassed, and his stuff wasn’t there. Then the liner up the middle, walk, HPB, and Cash *still* left him out there despite it being so painfully obvious that Eflin was done. Had he pulled Eflin in time we maybe would have had a very different game.

16. Did the young kids do anything? Sorry bally is blacked out and I don’t recognize shortstop or right field. And as great as Eflin was for us last year, Civale had a better spring. Starting at the bottom, it’s a long season. Bright side is Yandy is starting where he left off.

17. It would have really been great if we got some bats but you know why expect anything with this ownership.

18. Offense was brutal today. We are so back

19. Let’s go 161-1

20. This game was a mess, but it was our mess, and the first mess of the season so let’s roll around in it and make trash angels.

21. We will lose at least 62 games this year. This is one. Happy baseball is back.

22. We lost but I’m just happy baseball is back

23. Yeah I’ll be happy if we take 3rd place in the division this year. When are Shane and Ras coming back again? Opening day 2025?

24. Ah damn we suck

25. for a moment, the entire Rays team had a combined 5.000 OPS for the entire season

    I’ll see y’all tomorrow

26. I have belief we will win the series

27. Elfin should’ve been pulled way before he was tbh but just happy to have baseball back! We really just need to stay around 500 until we get healthy again second half of the year

28. 161-1 still on the table

29. Offense 2022 vibes
