Game 162 - Rays @ Jays, 3:07PM, Page 43

I have a feeling they don't want to pitch Gausman more than 2-3 innings tomorrow, even if they win today, and ride the bullpen for the rest of the game. Which is my they are trying to sneak out innings of Bruihl and Nance and probably Schultz today.

If you win today, they should just pitch Gausman like a normal start. But who knows what the analytics guys are thinkign.

With their lack of playoff season, why would they chance it? Treating it like a must win game is a no brainer IMO

Cash going to Fairbanks in a 4 run deficit

He’s managing this like a do or die playoff game

lol ump wants to get this over with

I think he’s making a normal start tomorrow if they win. A win tomorrow would be winning a playoff series in itself

It’s interesting though that Varland is seemingly being held back right now though

That's why I don't get why people are stressed, they're helping us cheat

They chance it, because it would allow Gausman to still pitch Wednesday.
Its not what I would do, I'm just speculating.

[Madvillainy2004]

Lmao they used their 3 best relievers today (and will tomorrow)

[Mehar]

Good thing Jeff Coughman is unavailable today. Frankly, it would be a good idea to put him on the DL and have him ready for Spring Training 2026. I trust guys like Tommy Nance over him to get three outs.

[Randle McMurphy]

Fairbanks pitched on Wednesday, Buck

This is all about Cash hating us

[GIZMO]

Guerrero with a groundout (going out on a limb here)

[xAIRNESSx]

Tampa using up Fairbanks today, nice

[PushDaRock]

Vlad fooling everyone, just look at those swings so obviously intentional

[PushDaRock]

Guerrero with a groundout (going out on a limb here)

nope, gonna strikeout for the true sandbag

[Randle McMurphy]

Yep no doubt that’s the plan, he’s gonna burn them on both days

Meanwhile the Orioles are screwing around with joke pitchers

[Randle McMurphy]

Bench him tomorrow and give yourself the best chance at winning the pennant

[JaysRule15]

Vladdy man. This isn't good.

[Chris7711]

To be doing this without any offensive contributions from bo,vlad and Santander in the last 3 games is quite impressive..vlad is becoming a major concern, especially what the stars of other teams are doing. Even Stanton is on fire with judge. Big hitters are showing up on the competition..even rays big hitters are getting it done

[Madvillainy2004]

Vlad better go 5/5 with 3 hrs tmr lmao

[PushDaRock]

Guerrero with a groundout (going out on a limb here)

nope, gonna strikeout for the true sandbag

like I said

[Stromile12]

Vladdy ...
