The Rays are in the postseason!! I’ve waited 6 years to say that again and it feels great! I thought this weekend was going to be a lot closer, maybe even lead to one of those tournament scenarios for the wildcard spot. Clinching last night was the best possible outcome, Rays might even be able to nab that first wildcard spot (depending on if they can even function today lol).
The celebration was awesome, huge shout-out to Willy Adames and Ji-Man Choi for live streaming on Instagram. Loved the speeches, Kevin Cash really pumped me up! Rays are definitely good enough to beat any of these teams! They just need to keep playing hard and give it their all.
Best part of the celebration has got to be either Glasnow sliding across the alcohol covered floor, or Kiermaier dancing to Wannabe by the spice girls (see below, courtesy of Ji-Man’s Instagram stream). Also, the let’s get wild shirts are incredible. That’s a must buy.
Hope the guys all had a fun night (they deserve it!) and I’m ready to take on Oakland.
In the wise words of Kevin Kiermaier, “We ain’t finish”
