Baseball is truly a funny game. Red Sox enter tonight at 6-13 (worst in AL), and they just beat the best team in the majors (Tampa) on the road 6-4
Yeah, I am going to a couple of the games this weekend in St. Pete. I was very excited about this three weeks ago, but now I am totally worried about it. Man, a 3-game sweep sure would be nice, wouldn't it?

We were up 4-2 but then after a Devers misplay on defense, the Rays tied it up and were still threatening. Fortunately Workman came in, got the outs and kept it 4-4. This was a game we really needed and it felt like everyone stepped up. It felt like it could be "one of those games" again where we blow a lead and lose, but they didn't quit. Nice to see Betts break out of his slump, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come Quote from: SparzWizard on April 19, 2019, 11:23:47 PMQuote from: Phantom255x on April 19, 2019, 11:19:31 PMBaseball is truly a funny game.

Loved being able to go there, pay $18 for a horrible seat and move down to the first base line in box seats because no one is in the place. The Trop sucks as a baseball park but they have that cool Ted Williams Hitters HOF, which for anyone that hasn't seen it, is an awesome take. Also, Ferg's, right outside the park, is a great indoor/outdoor bar for before and after the game.
Have fun! And yeah I'll be honest, I think our best hope is to simply avoid getting swept this series. I'd absolutely love to be wrong and for the Sox to finally show up, but I've been waiting for a while now and until I see it, I won't get my hopes up. There's still plenty of time in the season but we're also 8 games back in the division and in danger of making the deficit 12+ games as we play Tampa 6 times in the next 10 games.

I am not a huge fan of Devers. Something about him strikes me as lazy. I wonder if they called up that Chavis kid to sorta hold Devers feet to the fire. He keeps making error after error at 3rd base. As for Workman, he needed to redeem himself after that awful outing in New York.

With that said, the top-3 of Workman/Brasier/Barnes stepped up big time with 3.2 scoreless innings and preserved the lead to the end.

Live in Orlando most of the time, but get over to Tampa/St. Pete quite a bit. Ferg's is great (they opened one in downtown Orlando for a couple of years - incredible venue - but it never quite caught on). I am not sure when you lived there, but the place has absolutely exploded - especially the arts scene. 'Raybor' (the Rays push to move to Ybor City in Tampa) fever was intense for a while there until the owner said he would not pay for any part of a new stadium. The Trop is 'okay', but doesn't really fit into what St. Pete is trying to do and they can't draw on the Orlando market at all. Hopefully Raybor City gains traction again.
3 in a row vs Tampa helps a bit. We still have hardly played any home games and I am sure we will have one big winning streak. We will be in playoffs when all is said and done. They really handicapped this team with these brutal road games to start season. Celtics win, Bruins win, and Sox win in 11! Trifecta is complete before GOT tonight.
