Well I just woke up and THE TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS ARE S10 PAPER CUP CHAMPS!

Thanks so much for joining me on this live skeeting adventure - I've been Peff Jassan @peffjassanmlr.bsky.social.

Follow me for offseason transaction news, and see you next season!

Let it be known: NOBODY catches Dermot Mulveiny stealing second twice in a row.

The Rays have a runner in scoring position with one out in the top of the 6th!
January 11, 2025 at 4:38 PM
Petra's day is done. Blaise Bailey Finnegan III - the original one - comes in and retires McTurdberg. But Ross Ewage caught onto something from the on-deck circle, and he laces a 2RBI double into the gap! Finnegan retires Bligh to end the top of the 5th, but the damage is done and the Rays lead 5-3!

Makesiondon Kelkboom with a single and there's runners on the corners!
January 10, 2025 at 12:15 AM
I feel like I've seen this movie before...

Ovaltine with a single off of Sabor, then immediately steals second base. Can Petra maintain the tie?
January 9, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Just kidding, IIIxX was on second last inning. This time it's Narvaez Jr. crossing the plate.

Coffee. Need more coffee.
January 9, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Brand new ball game!!!

Dakota Carolina Montana with a two-out single brings home IIIxX from second, and we're all tied at three apiece!
January 9, 2025 at 7:13 PM
Oh, and while I'm thinking of it:

BALL BOUNCE OVER WALL
January 9, 2025 at 2:22 PM
It's a leadoff double for Carlos Narvaez Jr. - let's see if the Phils can make the most of this chance!
January 9, 2025 at 2:21 PM
Dermot Mulveiny walks again.... AND FINNEGAN IIIxX STRIKES AGAIN! He catches Mulveiny attempting the steal. What an impact he is having on this tense matchup!
January 8, 2025 at 7:35 PM
Well, I have some catching up to do. Luckily my job isn't that hard - it's been four straight flyouts, and now the Rays have one out as we head into the second half of the game! #papercup
January 8, 2025 at 3:51 PM
He can get on base! It's a single for XxBlaise, a shallow liner toward center field.

Wait a minute. How is he on second? Did he steal while I was typing this?? What a run of play for the Phillies catcher. He's really putting the team on his shoulders here!
January 7, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Wow, speaking of a pitcher's duel, Petra sits down Ross Ewage and Hannibal Bligh in quick order and the Phillies are coming back to the plate!

XxBlaise Bailey Finnegan IIIxX took a shot at the Rays last inning catching McTurdberg stealing. What can he do for them from inside the batter's box?
January 7, 2025 at 4:37 AM
McTurdberg walks, and goes for a steal of second base! Finnegan IIIxX has a cannon for an arm though, and McTurdberg is out by a step! That's a huge out for Sabor and the Phillies here!
January 7, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Lancer strikes out Morris, what an inning he has put together! The Phillies are headed back out to the field as we tip into the second half of the game.

What was initially an all-out offensive war has turned into a bit of a pitcher's duel. Will the bats find purchase again?
January 7, 2025 at 1:11 AM
A groundout and a flyout, and Sabor posts the first clean half-inning of the game.

Lancer responds by retiring Dingerhitter and Montana, and the Phillies bats are down to their last out of the second inning!
January 6, 2025 at 4:11 PM
There's a delay in the Rays dugout, Primero Ultimo heads down the tunnel and Mo Cheeks comes to the plate.

Sabor induces a weak fly out and there's one out in the top of the second!
January 5, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Lancer strikes out Mr. Plow, and we're headed to the second inning.

Lots of players making their second #papercup appearance today!

PHI: Q Kimbrel, Phil Coulson, Charles Magnus, Im Sleve

TBR: Gray Goose McGillicuddy
January 5, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Well, it won't be a shutout this time! The Phillies are right back in this thing on a two run homer by TheRedKnight! What a battle so far, and we're only in the bottom of the first!
January 4, 2025 at 10:32 PM
The Phillies have their first baserunner of the day! Phil Coulson, Agent of W.A.L.K., earns a free pass and now stands on first base.
January 4, 2025 at 2:38 PM
Lancer picks up where he left off by striking out DeAaron Taylor. Phil Coulson is appearing in his second Paper Cup, and now appears at the plate.
January 4, 2025 at 4:21 AM
And now, as the Rays take the field, Alex Lancer is slapping the rosin bag and digging into the rubber.

The last time the Rays and Phillies faced each other was S8, G15.

The Rays won that game 2-0, on the back of a 2-hit, 1-walk CSGO. The pitcher?

Alex Lancer.
January 4, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Since the Rays scored three runs that inning, here's a fun fact:

The Phillies have three players appearing in their third Paper Cup: Petra Sabor, Blaise Bailey Finnegan III, and Tasker Morris.

Morris becomes the first MLR player with three PC appearances for the same team.
January 4, 2025 at 3:54 AM
A BIG out for Sabor here, as she induces a grounder to the hot corner and Returns is retired (say that one three times fast!)
January 4, 2025 at 3:50 AM
The TRAYn keeps rolling, that's a double for Dermot Mulveiny and the jam is just getting stickier for Sabor.

Beans Returns is up next; will they return to home plate, return to the dugout, or will I have to return to this post a fourth time to get everyone's gender right? Stay tuned!
