On the season the Bucs have only had two impressive wins. At Seattle (very impressive) and home vs San Fran.
They have had a lot of well fought losses though. I just wish they had a few more wins that you can hang a hat on

Bucs coming out of the BYE playing the worst football of any team in the league. Hopefully just a bad week, but another no effort blowout next week and division and playoffs are going to be highly in question

Good news is Bucs only down 4 despite playing absolutely awful for a full half
They are just out of gas entirely, and coming out of the BYE at home has made no difference.

Was this the greatest postseason pitching performance in the modern era?
It’s absolutely in the conversation and I think time will only make this more impressive looking back

Dave Roberts with the World Series saving defensive substitution
Andy Pages just going ISO ball barreling through Hernandez is so clutch. Just all out, not gonna let it drop. Hot Damn!

Snell, Yesavage, and now Yamamoto coming in (on about 24 hours rest). Nothing better than Game 7s

5 straight walks, 4 extra base hits, 2 HRs, and 9 times reaching base tonight. Future generations aren’t going to believe half of the things Ohtani did
Players to reach base safely 9 times in a game, reg or post, at least last 125 seasons:
2025 WS G3 Shohei Ohtani (postseason record)
8/9/42 Stan Hack
7/10/32 Johnny Burnett
7/7/1922 Max Carey

Why did Dan Wilson use Bazardo for two innings yesterday and then decide Bazardo is his choice in the highest leverage of the game tonight?!?
Andres Munoz NEEDS to be the call there

If that is truly it for Mike Evans as it potentially is the fear, what a career.
Or maybe his season being cut so short will fuel Mike to come back for one more run

Baker Mayfield is doing superhuman things. But down his top 4 WRs it’s more like Captain America superhero things where he’s being pummeled and getting up.
captain america is wearing a mask and goggles and says i can do this all day .

Truly brutal way for a series to end. Heartbreaking for Kerkering
That was the first postseason series in history to end on a walkoff error.
What a crushing way for any team to end a season.
Bill Buckner might come to mind, but that was only Game 6.

Seattle had scored 5 straight TDs and with almost no resistance but an all out blitz rushed Darnauld and a very very lucky bounce off a helmet gives the Bucs a turnover. Truly a miracle.
Amazing work by Baker and Egbuka for keeping them in this and picking up the D

5 straight TD drives given up by the Bucs. Truly abysmal, laughable, embarrassing defensive performance
Have to do some serious soul searching for how horrifically bad this effort was

Vote of confidence for Carson Williams. Seems like his era is now for the Rays, with a clear inside track towards opening day 2026 SS job
Much like Caminero: gets an August call up, have a that double espresso cup of coffee in the majors, and use that experience to be front runner for the full gig

Brian Van Belle made his Major League debut today, and his change-up certainly looks pretty plus.
Threw it 14 times (40%) got 12 swings with 6 whiffs, and total of 43% CSW
