Randy in the Rays new City Connects

princess randy <3

once again begging mlb to add a position for hype guy who doesn’t play. i want siri to stay with the rays, mess around in the dugout, hug guys who hit homers, and maybe act as stylist for some of the players lacking in rizz, but i do not really want him on the field.

i love the wbc and you should 2

i think about the 2033 wbc so much

they literally had everything. a team of just people with everyday jobs going up against some of the best players in the world. we had walkoffs, upsets, undefeated teams, and the best ending to a game i could have asked for (trout vs ohtani)

lars nootbaar became an international superstar

edwin diaz getting injured and the subcequent uproar but how the tournament is stupid and no one should play.

the korea/japan rivalry with tommy edman and nootbaar being the first american born players to play for either team in history. AND THE FACT TOMMY AND LARS BOTH PLAY FOR THE CARDINALS.

one guy didn't want to percicipate and the PRESIDENT OF PANAMA HIMSELF ASKED HIM PERSONALLY TO PLAY. the dominican republic experienced a bleach shortage bc the team all bleached their jair in unity.

randy arozerana had been trying to get a mexican citzenship for awhile but what caused him to finally get it was telling the PRESIDENT that he would play for mexico in the wbc. and he's offically a mexican citizen now

pepper grinder sales in japan literally rose bc of the nootbaar pepper grinder celebration. the PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN HIMSELF DID IT.

the final between japan and u.s.a is thought to be the most viewed baseball game of ALL TIME.

anyways i love the wbc sm and haters just don't understand.

[882] I love you, is what I’m saying.

Por: Luis Felipe Aguilar Palafox México hizo historia al terminar en la tercera posición de la última edición del Clásico Mundial de Baseball, logrando así su mejor actuación en este evento. Un equipo plagado de grandes jugadores, con experiencia en Grandes Ligas, pero hay alguien que se robó el corazón no sólo del público mexicano, sino de la afición en general.

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.

Let me return this to your side: your picks for the mvps, cy young, and roty?

ps: anthony bass is at long last no longer a major league problem 🎉🎉🎉

tysm for the ask!!

in my very biased opinion lol (i do NOT keep up with al teams as much as i should)

al mvp - shohei ontani or maybe a randy arozerana

nl mvp - pete alonso or maybe nolan gorman (i am in fact a delusional)

nl roty - jordan walker

al roty - volpe (the roty's were kinda obvious to me lol)

nl cy young - hunter greene?? tbh i don't rly keep up with pitching as much as i should 💀

al cy young - dylan cease? or gerrit cole

hopefully nolan arenado and paul goldschmidt get their well deserved gold gloves 🤞
