He is simply not an MLb player 

[Doubleplay21]

Davis did not walk. Only chance he can do

I agree if the team is doing well, it's no big deal, but I don't buy that slow-start crap.

Last year in April Vladdy had a 116 wRC+ with a .268/.362/.402 slash line and 3 HR.
In April 2024 he had a 100 wRC+ with a .226/.331/.347 slash line with 3 HR.

In the other recent years when he's hit okay in April (2026, 2023, 2022), he's had a rough May. The good news is that Vladdy is a career 154 wRC+ in June, his best career month.

You realize that was all you.

Bunch of folks crying about luck.  Luck is not why we are sucking lol.

He needs to go down like last year

[Spanky__99]

*sighs* still can't get the hit in a big spot.

[Slade]

When Lukes comes back Schnieder just needs to go down, if he can't hit lefties he's providing nothing here. 

[Abomination]

At least he's done through 5. Facing the bullpen can't be any worse.

ya, I hear that every year about Vlad. Quarter of the season is over, he still just hit 2 HRs, and none at home.

[Doubleplay21]

Need a right hand bat up from Buffalo

[james jones]

Lol I cannot believe this team is 4th in payroll. One of the worst offense lineups I've ever seen.

McAdoo needs to learn to play another position besides 3rd or Ross needs to cook up a trade for a righty bat.

[neverbeenhere]

now they should use ABS only and let the guy rest

[Omar]

Time for a shakeup, roll the dice...

Pinango

Gimenez

Oka

Vladdy

Springer

Clement

Varsho

Valenzuela

Straw

[Abomination]

I feel like this is too much busy managing. I really don't see the reason to pinch hit Pinango for Straw there.

ya, Straw has been pretty good, compared to Vlad

[Scionz]

This is a bad baseball team, thank god the farm looks competent.

Hey Vladdy, that's how you turn on a fastball

When was the last time we saw Vladdy pull the ball in the air?

[Jays24]

Hoffman's baacckkk 

[gruber9292]

This Rays team is actually kind of fun if you look at it from a neutral stand point. Scrappy offence with the solid pitching all around. I enjoyed watching them vs the Yankees and in general tbh.

I think Don Mattingly was still around 

[dancingmachine]

Hoffman is fantastic for the other team, nice flop by Davis

This is pretty much how we were last year once we added Bieber/Yesavage.  Just a 200M difference in payroll lol.  

[Spanky__99]

The Rays have won 15 of their last 17, well likely 16 of their last 18... 👀
