outfielders in the dugout
The Rays have sent outfielder Josh Lowe to the Angels as part of a three-team trade in which left-handed reliever Brock Burke went from Los
went to the rays-guardians game last night and had the time of my Life. i’ve been a lifelong rays fan and i’ve never seen the trop that packed (sell-out!). i really thought they were gonna lose, since the bullpen was not really killing it and the offense wasn’t materializing as much as they sometimes do, and people started leaving (as usual) before the 9th to beat traffic, but that last inning was electric. down 5-3, no outs, josh lowe starts a rally with a single and is sent home by yandy diaz doubling (almost a homer). 5-4, one out (bethancourt grounded out), with the tying run on second, wander franco comes up to bat. through the whole game, clips of his walk-off homer from the night before have been playing, and people start standing, anticipating a similar result. heartbreak; he strikes out. 5-4, two outs, and brandon lowe is up (annoyingly, to cheers of “let’s go brandon”). a wild pitch lets yandy take third, and b lowe singles, sending him home. 5-5, two outs, winning run is on first, and randy arozarena, the beloved of rays fans and team mexico fans alike (not mutually exclusive), is up to bat. my hopes are high, my expectations are low. he hasn’t been the same since the home run derby/asg. everyone is standing now, and chants of “RAN-DY! RAN-DY! RAN-DY!” are filling the stadium. someone next to me comments “no pressure, right?”, and i gleefully inform her that randy is best under pressure; if the rays could somehow manage to convince him that every game was the most important of his career, we’d go 162-0. brandon lowe steals second. the count is rising. everyone is yelling. then, boom; randy hits it into center field. the screaming gets significantly louder; it looks like it’ll be caught. but it isn’t!! the outfielder drops it, and brandon lowe scores. rays win, 5-6, the BWAHHHHHH goes off, and randy is mobbed at first. incredible ending. i’m going to be riding that high for Days.
the besties are meeting on today’s game 😏✨
