That Altuve made significant errors that led to Rays runs. Hope that was helpful.
First two games could have gone either way. Rays got outhit in both of them, including 10-4 in Game 2 but pulled off both thanks to the Astros stranding 21 in two games. That wasn't going to continue and the Rays offense outside of Arozarena simply hasn't done much.
That's fair, thanks.
Although I would counter that the Astros stranding all those runners had something to do with the pitching and defense of the Rays. Also, Choi has been good, but yes, they've relied on Arozarena a lot.
Last 2 games could have gone either way, too. There’s been a bunch of close games that have turned on little things.
Right. I'm just making the case the Rays were lucky to go up 3-0. The last two games also could have gone either way. It's been a mostly competitive series.
I can't help but respect the Astros' top 4 hitters producing all postseason.
Javier should probably sit down.

Even if they lose this game, Rays need to put up a fight and score some runs. Astros rubbing it in right now.
I don't know about momentum in baseball (I can say with some confidence that it exists at the youth/HS level) but the Astros hitters seem to have figured out the Rays pitching.
Wonder what the signal is this postseason...

Or the Rays just hit the wall. Cash is resting his key guys now for Game 7. This playing every night is tough on bullpens.
If the Rays are going to have a chance tomorrow they need Nick Anderson to show up. 12 batters faced in this series with 4 hits, 0 strikeouts, 2 walks, and a homer is not his normal self. They probably need 2 IP from him.
Tomorrow is going to be Morton/Glasnow/Fairbanks/Anderson/Castillo
If you can’t win a game with that, you don’t deserve to win the series.

If Tampa can get a few across here and next inning the game ain't over. Pressly has never pitched three consecutive days in a row per the TBS booth.
