Was hottest hitter up until two days ago, but I understand what you mean. Maybe it’s just that he gets lots of opportunities. 

I agree. Eventually 1-5 today, but he did have the first RBI today with that double that scored Gunnar. 

[O's84]

1 more big guy, 1 more.

[Ripken]

Ortiz makes that play.  

And that splitter is stupid.

[baltfan]

Best splitter ha has had this year. 

[Tony-OH]

They definitely worked with Bautista on holding the ball longer to change up his cadence to the plate.

[Gurgi]

Tampa should move to Nashville.  No one cares about them In Florida.

[baltfan]

Don’t like this at all. 

[Gurgi]

The longer this goes on the more annoyed at Mateo I am getting.  

[Can_of_corn]

That was a real nice swing.

Shame.

They’ve just never caught on. It’s incredible, given their relative success. Though it admittedly doesn’t help that the stadium is an absolute quagmire, nobody should be allowed to play there.

Yeah, Rays fans like to say that if they pick a better location that'll fix things. The NHL team and all that. But Florida professional sports franchises really don't have a good track record. I've heard the idea floated of moving them to Orlando.

[O's84]

And now the tying run could be in scoring position because of how poorly Felix holds runners.

[Roy Firestone]

nervous time...again...I dont know what Mateo was doing...but it wasnt good.

[baltfan]

Let him steal. 

[Tony-OH]

Gotta hold Bruján so he doesn't steal.

[Pat Kelly]

Hate to bust on Mateo but he just ok now.  It’s not about being phenomenal it’s about being consistent, solid.  He is not.   Hyde struggles to adjust he pov on players.  I would release Mateo and move on.
