Uh oh...corch broke out the bold font.
Regardless of the errors behind him, McCullers is a retarded mongoloid for always giving up the big HR after any little blunder or bloop hit.

I will just consider the source. Everyone who saw the game knows McCullers was outstanding and dominated the Rays lineup. All the TBS broadcasters called his performance "outstanding" and "dominant", but, you refer to him as a retarded mongoloid. If we have a retarded mongoloid, he plays second base for us. |

Dusty making excuses for Altuve's errors was pretty classless. To say "Yuli usually scoops those up" was pretty sorry when both throws were clearly errors by Altuve. To case any blame on Yuli for Jose making terrible throws is bad. He almost sounded like he was throwing Yuli under the bus while covering up Altuve. There was no excuse for Altuve's throws other just plain sloppy and being careless. He cost us the damn game....period.

Altuve made one horrible throw, and one not-good throw that should have been a routine play for almost every 1B in the league. If you go back and watch, all he had to do was keep his foot on the bag while picking up the ball after he made a lazy attempt to even catch it. Altuve isn't blameless on the play, but Yuli makes that play every time when his head is in the game. The other throw by Altuve was just awful.
McCullers pitched very well overall, and the offense hit fine. I lost track of how many balls we hit 95mph+. Bad defense aside, we hit the ball well enough to win most games like that, but the baseball gods just weren't on our side. That's two games in a row where we've hit the ball better than the Rays but didn't get the results, and the Rays are playing perfect defense so far.
It just might be their year.

He does have a point about composure, though. We’ve seen Lance implode with the slightest provocation. He pitched brilliantly yesterday and lost because of the inept offense, but his point still stands. Earlier this year in Arizona was the perfect example. |

For the record, I feel the critics of Altuve, McCullers, and Gurriel all have valid points. Gurriel’s level of energy and effort are suspect. We’ve seen much better from him on both sides of the game. His power is all but gone. Literally, the only reason he’s playing now is because the alternatives are god-awful.

With good fortune like that, it's the Rays' year. When a weak stick like Zunino is getting key knocks, it's usually a sign that that is the case

The first one he just didn't get enough on it, and it rattled him so bad with the HR the next AB that it got in his head for the next play. I was glad to see him make his next throw just fine. When I was a catcher in high school I got a case of that. I could throw down to 2nd just fine, but I would overthink all of my throws to 1B and 3B. Went on for almost a whole season (and made bunts an adventure), and then finally just faded away. No idea. |

I read somewhere (maybe Facebook?) that Bregman had an average exit velocity over 102mph yesterday but went 0-5 despite no strikeouts. That's insane. |

He made the one bad pitch after the little dumbass lobbed a throw to first that allowed the batter to reach. That would have been the third out and NO RUNS WOULD HAVE SCORED. McCullers was dominant........dumbass blew the game. |

You are embarrassing yourself by continuing to defend Altuve for making the error that ended up in the Rays scoring three runs. I have seen Yuli scoop balls like that on several occasions....Most of them came when the fielder had to make a long throw. Altuve's was a short throw on what should have been a routine out on a throw that should have easily been made without a scoop being necessary. The fault was clearly Jose's..........no doubt about it. HE made the throw, not Yuli. The little dumbass that you would defend no matter what he does cost us the damn game....plain and simple. |

There is nothing else between his ears. I don't know if those were his first throwing errors of the year, but, I doubt it. |

Bregman's average exit velocity was 102. 5 on the five balls he hit. He was snake bit. The DP George his was hit hard. Correa had a couple of hard hit balls right at them. Who Knows what would have happened if Margot hadn't made the catch on George and then fell over the wall. Kyle hit two balls caught on the track in front of the CF fence. If Maldonado elevated that ground rule double, it was gone. We were a victim of hard hit balls that went to the wrong place. We hit the ball a lot harder than the Rays. |

Zunino’s knock in Game 1 was the bullshit of all bullshits. |

Bregman’s one weakness is his weakness in balls hit to right field. When he starts hitting for more authority the other way, the infielders will have to stay at COVID distancing and provide easier opportunities for him. |

I am pulling for a Houston-Atlanta World Series. But, I can root for the Rays against either the Braves or Dodgers. I wouldn't root for the Dodgers, Yankees, or Red Sox against the Iranians. |

McCullers has a documented history of letting the slightest little thing get him all shook up and then blowing games because of it. We've seen it immediately after he gets mad at an umpire call, after a lucky dinker into the infield for a hit, after giving up a HR, and now after an error behind him. |

The fact remains if Altuve had not made the error, Margot would have lead off the next inning and could not have hit a three run homer. If he hit one anyway, it was only one run. As it was, the two runners on base as a result of Altuve's sloppiness ended up being the difference in the game. True, we had numerous chances to score, but, Altuve's error cost us the game. |
