Yanks three K's but at least got him to throw over 20 pitches. Here's hoping they get him out of there in four. Kid's got good stuff, and got both Judge and Hicks with 3-2 curves.
I guess they wanted to make it representative of an actual crowd at a Rays game.

Haha, I think the pumped in noise is actually louder with more going on than when there are fans there.
Glad to see Snell out of there. He threw 50 pitches his last start and now only 59 in this one. I guess they're taking their sweet time with him and just want to be sure he's there at the end of the year.
Yup, much needed too since Paxton, Montgomery and Happ are struggling out of the gate this year.
He’s got all his breaking pitches working tonight
Yup and now a great 8 pitch 5th inning with two K's. At this rate he should give them seven innings at least and that's big with three games in the next two days, including the doubleheader tomorrow.
It'd be nice if we could get the O going and good to see its Tauchman leading off the 6th.
Me too. I stepped out for a coup,e and came back to see Cessa in there and thought I missed something. Like Tanaka coming up lame or something.
Not thrilled he's out of the game but glad it's only an analytics type thing.

most of the time when it comes to pitching moves...but I would have liked to see Tanaka go deeper in this one
Older guy. Probably building arm strength since they had a short "pre-season". I want him to go long innings later in the year.
Yup. Reasonable. And our bullpen has been dominating
unreal start to the season for him.
and then blows it with a little league base running mistake
Ah, bullshit. How did they do against the Phillies?
The ball was more than 6 inches off the ground,
this is after he strikes out with the bases loaded, geez.
That was the game right there.
All Perez had to do was get the ball in the air to score a run. As a lefty hitter off Ottavino, not that hard to do.

and we haven't faced this level of pitching yet. Hope we can adjust now.

the phillies have a god awful BP. The Rays is one of the best in baseball without the namebrands.

They did nothing against Nola right? He had 12K's in
6 innings. You have to hit good pitching too, not just the O's.

I thought that was on Gary too. Kind of a lazy effort on that pitch and it was definitely catchable with a better effort. Never bounced and really no excuse for not catching it.

Well yeah it was. Ottavino missed his mark by almost three feet and the knee on the ground style works ok when the ball is thrown near the catcher, but limit his lateral agility. Shit pitch.

proves my point. They are not hitting anything. Only DJ and Urshela are consistent. Even Judge is basically HR or nothing. Stanton is 0 for his last 22.
Explains all those 90s Braves championships......oh, wait...

Masahiro Tanaka: Friday vs Rays was first time in his MLB career he allowed no more than 1 baserunner in a start
Never underestimate the Kriske.

on Ottavino as well, bounced out of Sanchez's glove.

It wasn't that bad. Go back and watch it again. Gary clearly thinks he's going to catch it and gives a nonshalant back handed stabbing type effort, and it hits off his glove.
If the pitch was as bad as you say he should've moved his whole body to get in front of it regardless of the knee on the ground and at worst knock it down to keep it in front of him. He never even attempted to move his body, and instead he just stabbed at it thinking he'll catch it but it kept breaking away from him.
I'd bet if asked its one he thinks he could've and should've made. He's been doing well back there this year and I give him credit for improving but I think sometimes he takes things for granted and it cost them this time.
