The Rays are expected to make a bunch of moves this trade deadline (August 31st). Everything you need to know about the Rays trades and how they will impact the team can be found here, my 2020 Rays Trade Tracker. *Last Updated 8/31 8pm* Looks like the Rays didn’t make quite as many moves as…
With the trade deadline coming up on August 31st, I’m excited to see what moves the Rays make. Currently in first place in the AL East, the Rays trade targets will definitely be players who can improve the team to prepare for the playoffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rays wanted to upgrade their…
Brandon Lowe’s hitting has been great so far this year. Lowe is the current Rays team leader for AVG and OPS. It feels like every time he is at the plate, you can count on him for a hit or a quality at-bat. Let’s take a look at how is he doing compared to last…
It’s no secret that Mike Zunino has been struggling at the plate this year. In 30 at-bats, he’s hit .100/.206/.439 (AVG/OBP/SLG). To be fair, the rest of the team hasn’t been hitting their best either. Zunino has some offensive potential, but something isn’t quite clicking this season. Let’s see what’s going on with him. Zunino’s…
Yarbrough took the mound tonight against Boston for the second game of a two game series at Tropicana Field. He gave up eight hits in five innings and had five strikeouts. Trouble struck when a breaking ball to Alex Verdugo ended up as a two run home run in the 4th inning. Fast forward to…
Austin Meadows might just be the spark the Rays needed to get the offense going again. In his 2020 debut, he went 1 for 4 with a RBI triple to score Perez from first. He almost went 2 for 4, but Jackie Bradley Jr. made a pretty amazing catch to rob him of a base…
The most alarming part of the series against the Orioles is not that the Rays lost all three games (though that is pretty bad). It’s that the Rays did not play anywhere near the level that they are capable of. The Rays are such a talented team with so many strengths and there is not…
Out of all the Rays losses so far, this had to be one of the more frustrating ones. The Orioles took both games against the Rays so far, and the Rays just don’t look their best. It’s so frustrating that this year the Rays were finally being taken seriously by MLB, power rankings, etc., and…
Johan Camargo hits a long fly ball to centerfield. Kiermaier running back to the wall and…the ball falls to his left. The 7th inning was as if the Rays were in a parallel universe where they can’t play defense. Play after play did not go the Rays way, so let’s see where it all went…
Dansby Swanson homers off of Glasnow in the second on a pitch right down the middle. Glasnow didn’t really have his curveball command yet and had missed a few fastballs down the heart of the plate. So naturally, I was thinking “gee, this is going to be a long game”. A long game it was,…
