Time is a flat circle. I'd love to see him get to a point where if he has six pitches he commits to the three he has the best feel for that day and the rest are rare mix-ins. It's just wild that every iteration falls back into the same groove of the same record. Love the guy, but this is who he is.

Matt Arnold in his luxurious office: Wow, this guy is really developing. Imagine how much we'll get when we trade him!

Needs a little mom's spaghetti on one of the sleeves

The angel on my shoulder: Wow Dylan Cease is throwing six pitches now and five of them were average or better!

The devil delivering a roundhouse kick to that other guy: Yeah, but he still threw 22 pitches an inning.

Easiest solution to stop feeling guilt is to give back all the ill-begotten money and gifts. That's what being tormented or sorry looks like.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

They're losing a war they have no idea how to fight.

Sal Stewart for MVP, Jaysus, this guy

Nice, thanks, Rays broadcast refused to discuss, but kept showing guys cracking up in the dugout

Who's at the Trop and can enlighten about the delay in the 9th?

Jake Fraley stop wasting challenges challenge, level impossible. Guy isn't good enough to cost his team like this.

Good luck negotiating your next contract, Mr. Lynch

He should wear the mask everywhere still.

Congrats to Spencer Horwitz on his first home run in the bigs.

Feducccccccc

Jake "The Thorn" Mangum, everybody.

Announcing to a crowd of people that I'm primordial, but pronouncing it like cordial.

In those instances they just say the player didn’t tap quickly enough then there doesn’t even have to be a review.

I can understand. Pittsburgh is a great city and that crew might be moving on after the game tomorrow with little time in between. #priorities

I think it will be good for him to get into a routine again. A lot of his next steps are mentally being able to cut loose without holding back. I'm encouraged with what I've seen, but my expectations were pretty low.

My first thought, as well. Wouldn't surprise if someone comes up tonight with the quick turnaround tomorrow.

Kind of tells the tale of tonight. Many fraught moments, back and forth until it wasn't

Pirates got a club. Rays were fortunate Skenes got bounced by the rain. Should be a very tired rubber match tomorrow with both bullpens cooked.

Umpiring tonight was an embarrassment. Some of the widest wrong calls I've seen all year up and down.

Nice win, Rays. Should count for one and a half
