The Rays' giant, inflatable Snellzilla monster has come to terrorize Tropicana Field
The Rays have had a lot of fun with Blake Snell's nickname, "Snellzilla." There have been bobbleheads. There have been graphics. There have been "Jurassic Park" references.

For the 2019 season, though, the team decided to take it up a notch: 40 feet up, to be precise.

That was the last we'd seen of the inflatable menace known as Snellzilla. Until Wednesday, that is -- when it made a sudden appearance at the Trop:

Is it coming for Kevin Kiermaier? Is it stuck in the outfield wall? Or is it trying to eat the fish out in left-center? Only time will tell, but we sure hope it's that last one.
