Rays vs Red Sox Oct 11

[Il BuonO]

Overmanaging by Cora to take out Schwarber. His wheels are not that bad and he loses that if he goes to extras.

[Il BuonO]

I like the Rays the longer this goes.

I can't like the Rays.

Not with Stu as the owner.

What’s your gripe? He seems to give them what they need, but I don’t know anything about him.

[Il BuonO]

What the heck?

[Il BuonO]

That’s big.

[Il BuonO]

I’d rather have Schwarber than Dalbec, but they probably walk Schwarber anyway.

Yea the on the field product is solid and he lets the baseball people do their job but he's been trying to weasel out of the stadium deal since he bought the team and, after failing to get the Government to spend 800M to buy him a stadium is trying to move the team to Montreal for half the season.

Yes the stadium is bad and your lease is bad, but that was the case when you bought the team.  Deal with it.  Reach into your really deep pockets and and pay for a stadium that isn't going to cost a billion dollars with the inevitable cost overruns.

Right, I do remember that.

Owners are loathe to reach into their own pockets for stadium improvements. Too bad because their on the field product is superior.

Well, Cora is kicking himself, I hope. The Rays still would have had to make the move to walk KS. Didn’t need to pinch run for him.

[Il BuonO]

Pivetta earning his keep.

[Il BuonO]

Horrible call, he definitely offered at it.

[Il BuonO]

Freakin umpires

Big time! And likely to finish the game.

That's a call!
