Nothing says playoffs like Dave Roberts just going absolutely nuts with pitching changes

"Relief is the opposite of starting, so I have to bring in Clayton Kershaw to face RIGHTIES!"

I'm probably one of few in the chat who can say they have been a Rays fan literally all their life, I was born in St. Pete in 1999. It means so much this year to be watching October baseball, and glad to be doing it with you all. Here's to this week inspiring a new generation of Rays fans and baseball fans all over the country!

Ben Clemens

Hooray!

Also, I do think this WS will be very good for attracting fans

8:10

The two best teams, one of which is star-studded

Over/under for Randy home runs this series? 3.5?

Ben Clemens

8:10

With great regret, under

Me: Glasnow will start Game 1 of the World Series in 2020
Pirates fan from 2017: Wow! So we finally made it to the WS!
Me:
Pirates fan from 2017: So, is Meadows doing well?

If the saying is, 'get a trophy or go home' does that mean that the winner doesn't get to go home?

Ben Clemens

8:11

The good news is, Globe Life is quite spacious

Reminder for the MLB.TV crowd that radio streams are an option. Dave and Andy for the Rays are great, can't speak to the Dodgers. Plus, area-specific commercials!

5 Run Homer

8:12

Randy the DH is so funny to me

Imagine starting Randy at DH even a month ago

Ben Clemens

8:13

The Rays traded for a Proven Lefty Masher (tm)

And also Jose Martinez

Kershaw has had the same glove for at least 10 years

Mister Puppy

8:13

Although I'm definitely rooting for the Rays (even as an O's fan) I have a soft spot for the Dodgers bc I have an OOTP sim going as their GM and I'm in like 2048 so I kinda feel like a Dodgers fan now

Dan Szymborski

8:13

I'm honestly fine with either

sadtrombone

8:13

I'm for the Rays, but only barely.

Derek

The thing is (and I realize this is somewhat controversial), I actually really like Joe Buck as a Big Moment announcer. I think just his presence makes things seem important. But Smoltz is just... ugh. So yeah, maybe radio broadcasts are the way to go

Ben Clemens

8:14

I think the Joe Buck hate is overdone

He's quite competent

Which is what you want from the play-by-play guy

sadtrombone

8:14

I just think it would be cool if the Rays won. Dodgers are fine.

Ben Clemens

8:14

"I just think they're neat!"

Gavin Lux

8:15

I hit a walkoff bomb tonight

Ben Clemens

8:15

That would be some trick

5 Run Homer

8:16

That clip of Buck and Aikman making fun of the military flyovers at a football game made me like him just a little more

Ben Clemens

8:16

Oh man, highly suggest listening to that if you haven't

Dave Roberts

8:16

It's kind of annoying that Gameday is ahead of the Fox broadcast

Dan Szymborski

8:16

NOTHING IS SYNCED EVER

Thomas

8:17

IDK if American viewers would be envious of this, but in Canada Sportset shows the MLB International feed which has Vasgersian on play-by-play and Buck Martinez doing colour which I enjoy

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

How was home field advantage determined this year?

Dan Szymborski

8:17

record

or preference for costco

Ben Clemens

8:17

The Randy man and the Yandy man both on base, we need another rhyming Ray

(yandy doesn't actually rhyme, I know)
