2025 Rays Live Start
Time for another season of MLB and time for another "Live Start" thread where I sim the day's Rays game with the actual lineups and rosters. I modded Tropicana Field to be George M. Steinbrenner Field, making it open-air, grass, and increasing the offense especially for LHB given the similarities to Yankee Stadium's short porch.
Here's Opening Day: https://i.imgur.com/ioinKok.png |
March 29: vs Colorado
Josh Lowe strained an oblique yesterday so he goes on the IL and OF Jake Mangum is recalled from Durham.

April 13: vs Atlanta
Rays send Cole Sulser back down to Durham and call up Joe Boyle for a spot start today. Based on this play-through it looks like a bad idea:

April 14: vs Boston
Joe Boyle is returned to Durham after yesterday's spot start and reliever Eric Orze comes up to take his place.

April 15: vs Boston
The version of the game I just played out in my new 2025 save also had the Red Sox coming from behind in the 8th to win it, so we'll see what really happens tonight.

April 16: vs Boston
Not sure which is more unlikely - Walls' 2-run double or Littell whiffing 11.

April 17: vs NY Yankees
Richie Palacios is activated from his rehab assignment and Coco Montes is shuffled off to Durham.

April 18: vs NY Yankees
Richie Palacios, activated off the IL yesterday, injured his knee last night and goes back on it. Coming up in his place is the fastest man in baseball, rookie Chandler Simpson, who will not be in tonight's lineup since his flight won't make it in time.
Meanwhile OOTP keeps calling for the Rays to win and they don't, maybe tonight it'll be right: https://i.imgur.com/7xxhwPY.png https://i.imgur.com/qafHjpJ.png |
April 19: vs NY Yankees
They kept losing when OOTP said they'd win, so maybe it will continue to be wrong:

April 20: vs NY Yankees
Well they keep doing the opposite of what OOTP says they're going to do, so here's hoping again today:

With all the outfield injuries the Rays acquired veteran OF Travis Jankowski from the White Sox and optioned IF/OF Coco Montes to Durham.

Refreshed the live start today and maybe the offense got turned up somehow.
One Rays roster move: P Hunter Bigge goes on the IL with a lat strain and P Cole Sulser is up from Durham. https://i.imgur.com/fxLbogR.png https://i.imgur.com/P1NrJ1p.png |
May 7: vs Philadelphia
Rays just can't win at The Stein, or The Boss, or whatever you want to call that field.

May 13: at Toronto
Yandy Diaz goes on the restricted list for what is presumably a personal matter, and Coco Montes is once again back up from Durham.
UPDATE: Apparently he didn't get his passport renewed in time, so he wasn't able to enter Canada. https://i.imgur.com/OmhiYHO.png https://i.imgur.com/9FS8qCU.png |

Josh Lowe returns for the first time since injuring his oblique on Opening Day and Travis Jankowski goes on the IL with a groin strain.

Now that the Rays are back in the USA Yandy Diaz rejoins the squad and Coco Montes goes back to Durham.
