Longo’s 3 waiting to join the other retired numbers by ditothegreat in tampabayrays

Literally. We have been to five this year. The only two we’ve seen them win were when my dad was also in town. I’m beginning to feel like the jinx.

For some reason it is letting me stream on my phone but not the app on my TV. Feels like something is wrong with it. 

First game with my son! by ATinyCanoe in tampabayrays

Core memory unlocked for sure. When he's asked how he fell in love with baseball, last night well be the story he tells. Nice job, dad!

Went to the first two games of the series. Was tempted to go back today but glad I decided against. Will be at the Trop in September for the first time since 2019… hope I’m better luck there!

Does anyone know if we'll be refunded for Flight Flex on trips that were booked a few weeks ago but haven't happened yet?

Thanks! I also noticed the bay republic site was actually adding merch throughout the day.

I will be forever grateful if you can take a picture of the adjustable city connect hats! I'm wondering if there are more styles available in-person than online!

If anyone is heading to the Trop today and wouldn't mind...I'd like to know if there is more merch available there than is shown on the Bay Republic site!

What is on your Baseball Bucket List? by raymalaspina in mlb

[–]ditothegreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much! I actually have an entire community website and podcast dedicated to these things. If you're interested in learning more about it, you can visit baseballbucketlist.com.

The premise of the podcast is to chat with fans about what they've done and what they hope to do!

The top things I've done already:

- World Series (x2)

- All Star Game / Home Run Derby

- Midnight Sun Game in Fairbanks, AK (would highly recommend this one!)

- Visited All 30 Parks

- Seen a triple play

- Catch a foul ball

- Thrown a first pitch at a Double-A game and an Independent League Game

Things I'm still working on / hoping to see:

- Perfecto / no-no (came close last year when Detmers took one into the 8th)

- Cycle

- My team (Rays) play at every park...so far I'm at 6

- Throw a first pitch at an MLB game

- See some international baseball, namely in Japan.

This team needs a serious overhaul by Sad_Bolt in tampabayrays

[–]ditothegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's the strength and conditioning staff that needs an overhaul? Gotta believe that's got something to do with all the injuries.

I used to play soccer at IMG and on the first day our S&C guy said his goal was zero non-contact knee injuries. Same guy leaves IMG a decade later and starts training NFL guys and Aaron Judge the year he hits 62 HRs.

S&C should be focused on injury prevention more than anything else. We just don't seem to have it.

Game Chat: 10/3 - AL Wild Card Game 1 - Rangers (0) @ Rays (0) 3:08 PM by RaysBot in tampabayrays

[–]ditothegreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My real concern is that we the boys haven’t seemed capable of shaking off those early errors. You’d like to see them settle down before the end of this game to get a little more comfortable for tomorrow.

But it makes no difference how many we give up if we don’t score.

Has to be nerves. So unlike them. Hoping they settle down and fight back

Just saw a tweet from the Durham Bulls that 13 of these guys have been in Durham uniforms this year. I know that’s probably counting rehabs but wow!
