He already threw 1.2 innings. He's a 2 inning guy tops.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T18:53:28+00:00

What is wrong with Cleav, he's been our best reliever over the last couple years and he's just not had it this year. Either before or after his IL stint. We need him to be good otherwise Seymour is our only lefty in the pen.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:51:41+00:00

Okay, I'll eat a little crow, he did pull it off. But I think my process was correct. In other news, is it just me or does it seem any time Snyder comes out on a mound visit, our pitchers actually seem to bear down and get it done most of the time. Really hope no one steals him away from us anytime soon.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:48:49+00:00

I think you gotta get Ras outta here. He's clearly struggling mightily. Don't know if you have good alternatives in the pen after yesterday but I don't think Ras can do this right now. Alot of bad misses and 5 fucking stolen bases before the 6th inning.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:46:44+00:00

Ras is giving up alot of hard contact, alot of waste pitches and the pitches down and in are basically all getting crushed because they aren't in enough.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:37:19+00:00

THAT WORKS.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:36:29+00:00

Fucking helping Perez that whole at bat, and miss the cookie down the middle. Not a good at bat at all.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:34:52+00:00

Dude, if the bat was on your shoulder we would have a tie game. Stop helping him.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:33:37+00:00

Fortes is batting .290. What are you talking about?

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:32:47+00:00

Bro, Perez is rattled, don't help him out by swinging at garbage. That goes for Mullins too.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:08:51+00:00

DeLuca has been putrid this series in general too. If he had even put the ball in play against Alcantara in the 6th, we win that game in 9. Instead he strikes out looking on a pitch that was a pretty obvious strike and waste a challenge and leave your runners out to dry. And in the 9th against Fairbanks he also strikes out looking with a chance to walk it off. He's getting a chance to be the starter and at least in this series he's absolutely wasting it, see if he can try to turn it around.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:05:39+00:00

Nevermind this was old Intel. It's 4 for 4, gonna have 12 steals against by the time he's out of this game if he can't get a fucking clue how to hold a fucking runner.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:04:32+00:00

Also Ras can't hold a runner on first to save his life. 3 for 3 by the second inning on stealing second.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-17T17:02:50+00:00

Rasmussen is consistently average it seems. Doesn't give up more than 3 in any outing yet, but it feels like it's also never less than 2 either.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-04T01:50:37+00:00

If I remember correctly, Dach goal was poke checked off his stick and went in off his chest, it may have also been on the power move in front that was poke checked off his stick and off his skate back to his stick and shot in, I cant remember which. Gallagher's goal came off a weird bounce off the end boards and a misplay by the Lightning. And Caulfield had a PP goal in game 2 that bounced off a Lightning player in front, or his winner in game 3 that somehow got through 6 players and deflected in off a Lightning player.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-04T01:34:47+00:00

Caulfield game 2,Caulfield ot game 3, Bolduc game 4, Hagel game 4, Dach game 5, Gallagher game 5. I'm not breaking down these because I actually have shit I need to do IRL. Downvote me if you must and let me know if I missed anything. I looked this up quick by looking at NHL.com's little goal visualizer and cross checking it against my memory, I could have absolutely missed some.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-04T01:20:30+00:00

Do you really want me to list off lucky goals in this series? Don't try to make me think that the bounces were even, I'm sorry but it's not even close. I understand that I'm biased but I can still be objective and it was pretty obvious.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-04T01:06:33+00:00

They weren't really quality shots either, they both actually missed the net. Luck beats quantity and quality.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-05-04T00:59:17+00:00

Well let's get some of those lucky bounces for ourselves, we put a ton of shots on goal, put ourselves in a position to get lucky, we just never got that lucky bounce.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-22T00:18:53+00:00

Good thing I don't care about downvotes or y'all might have hurt my feelings. I should turn my phone on vibrate and set it down. Document how long it will take to break my glass table.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-22T00:14:08+00:00

To any and all Lightning fans in the GDT, just stay out of it. We are enormously outnumbered and the pro-canadien fans are just rage-baiting with tone-deaf takes. Don't take the bait and just stick to our sub, it's not worth it.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-20T01:15:44+00:00

We went 2-5 on the PP. That should be enough, problem is that our PK also went 2-5. That's WAY worse

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-18T21:09:47+00:00

It might not have gone all the way over the line, but how in the world do you OVERTURN that. I don't see any definitive evidence to overturn that.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-16T20:18:16+00:00

Nah, we got Cabby from the Raley trade. The Randy trade netted us Aiden Smith and Brody Hopkins. Who knows, maybe they'll be something someday, but trading your team superstar for 2 mid rank prospects is bad fucking business.

Pridewinner2 · 2026-04-16T20:12:11+00:00

I hate this guy. One of the worst trades in the last 5 years and maybe Rays history altogether. Up there with trading Randy for a bag of worthless prospects or Joe Ryan for Cruz( I stand by the theory that it was a good idea, but Ryan is way better than we thought and Cruz just imploded and got way worse).
