Friday May 20: Rays come to town

Damn. 

[eddie83]

Sucks. Should be over. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Where was that sac fly ball on zero or one outs? Ugh. 

[emmett16]

Well that's about the most frustrating potential outcome.  

[Just Regular]

Didn't matter with quick fly out but Santander failing to advance also seems like lack of situational awareness.

I guess maybe gives chance at tag, throw out double play, but if he goes halfway and stops, don't think Wander can get both outs.

Complete wasted opportunity. McKenna should have gone the first time. At least they tied it up.

How about a safety squeeze with speed at plate, 3rd, and second.  Hyde is aware of the teams BA w/RISP, no? 

[KillerTofu]

Lol @ this team! Wow!

I put the win probability at +80% when Mateo stepped up to the plate

I like that idea too Mateo should be able to bunt.

I didn't have my hopes up until going into the last inning.  They managed to get my hopes up and then promptly proceeded to destroy them.

Didn't make any difference the way things turned out, but Santander should have gone to third on the grounder where McKenna was thrown out at the plate.

No reason to fear being tagged out on his way to third.  If the defense so much as takes a look at Santander running toward third, McKenna would score and the game would be over.

No downside - they throw you out, Santander still on 3rd one out

Curious if Hyde is asked after the game.

I was already planning on what to watch on steaming after the game ended. That will have to wait.
