    Rays now 3 for their last 57 with RISP.

    That's tough to do.

    Javier's velocity isn't up to what has been most of this year. Back to getting pop ups and harmless flies instead of Ks.

    Straw's throw is a little off line.

    Correa holding the tag near the base as if he had the ball was nice. Might have caused enough doubt to prevent the runner from advancing and saved a run on the next fly ... God knows Straw wasn’t going to gun him down.

    Maybe Straw should try Tucker's trick. Throw it to Correa.

    I always love the courtesy jog by the OFs back like there was a chance it would come off the wall to make the pitcher feel better.

    I was pretty shocked they didn't send Lowe home on that shallow fly to CF earlier

    I love it when they never move and never even look over their shoulder

    eta: that was the longest homerless streak of Yordan's career

    What impeccable timing I have. I was in the middle of writing a post about it being 13 innings since we last scored and BOOM!
