Fastball Freddy Peralta gets the ball tonight in Tampa, and don’t get it twisted, this is a must-win game for the Rays. It’s not just that the Rays are in a two-game hole to the Brewers; it’s more about how they lost Game 2.
The Rays were up 4-0 after the first inning with their ace on the hill, and the Brewers just chipped away until they took the lead and won the game. The Rays can’t hit the Brewers bullpen, and that is a major problem for them.
To the Brewers’ credit, they are winning games by creating the action. They are dictating the pace of the World Series because they are putting pressure on the Rays’ defense every chance they get.
The Brewers are using their never-say-die competitiveness to win games in which they fall behind. They have mind control over Debo.
On the other hand, the Rays are showing cracks in the mentality. In Game 2, Junior Caminero was showing his passion in the dugout by laying into the team.
This may have been motivational, but it’s definitely different from the Rays’ carefree attitude leading up to the World Series. I think that’s a problem.
On this episode of Finish Your Breakfast, Joshua Palacios joins the show, Flobo and Elijah Flewellen return, and we talk Game 3 for the masses.
