Lets go!!! I feel great for him! He’s worked his tail off for years!

 

[Chesusdog]

About damn time. Good luck, Jake!

 

[patdog]

Awesome. Hope he makes it impossible for them to send back down.

Rays prepare for a steamy season of home-field challenges (and maybe home-field advantages)

There’s going to be no place in baseball this summer quite like Steinbrenner Field, and the Rays are trying to make that heat into an edge.

Good article about some challenges for the Rays playing home games in a minor league stadium due to hurricane Milton messing up their normal stadium.

Following the Lowe oblique injury. Hope he does enough to earn a permanent spot

Well deserved. No matter what happens, he’ll officially be an MLB player for the rest of his life.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

He gonna bat for 1 or 2 cycles today?

 

[PapaDawg]

Outstanding

Lowe is their best OF by far, and everyone else in their OF is very underwhelming offensively. He missed 46 games last year with the same injury. It’s hard to see a situation where this isn’t a lengthy call-up, unless he just really, really struggles.

Also a nice tidbit, salary goes up to a nice $760k with him on the active roster.

Like the saying goes….luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Is the game anywhere on tv today outside of Tampa local or mlb tv

I find it very odd that there is nothing official from the Rays, but there is from our baseball account.

Josh Lowe likely headed to IL after exiting game with oblique issue

Notes | After being sidelined twice last year, then having a healthy spring, “it’s super frustrating,” the Rays outfielder says.

After Lowe got injured, Jake was scratched from the AAA lineup yesterday.
ETA: yes, nothing official, but it basically is.

They probably leaked it to us first to keep our fans off of their Twitter mentions. When they announced he was going down, there were 50+ replans 90% were State fans.

I dont see any way that he does not have at least moderate success. He has ALWAYS worked his tail off to be the best he can be, and has always worked to constantly get better. He is a "scrappy" ball player, although that description does not do him justice. He will do anything and everything he has to do to be successful.

If he gets volume, I expect him to be successful

Mangum hasn’t been in uniform here going on 6 years and he’s still the best thing about this baseball season.

For those wondering, he’s not in the starting lineup today:

Does anyone know when he will actually be in the lineup? I sorta looked around but could not find anything.

Watched the whole game thinking he might get a chance. I can't adopt a second team that leaves the bases loaded consistently and can't get the hit at the right time. 12 hits, 5 walks, ONE run. Left the bases loaded twice. Got thrown out at home twice. It's like our Bulldogs grew up and moved south...
