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,…
The Braves are a tough team to beat. They basically turned last night’s game against the Mets into a home run derby. Austin Riley crushed a ball that I am pretty sure has not landed yet. While the Rays took 2 out of 3 against Toronto, they need to perform better overall if they want…
You can bet on the Rays to do something weird. And this first series against Toronto, it was the four man outfield. The Rays are trailblazers in a lot of baseball strategies, primarily the shift and the opener. So as a Rays fan, I’m never surprised when the defense gets in a more extreme shift…
Yikes. I have never been more confident about the strength of the Rays team before, but last night the Rays did not look their best. Last night the Rays played an intrasquad simulation game (first one televised), light blue Rays against navy blue Rays. If you thought it was going to be a definite win…
The Rays Opening Day is at home on Friday July 24th at 6:40 pm against the Toronto Blue Jays. What is their roster going to look like, and will they secure an opening day win? Let’s take a look. Charlie Morton Takes the Mound Charlie Morton is slated to start for the Rays on opening…
The addition of Charlie Morton to Tampa’s rotation has really given them a competitive edge in the AL East. Morton signed with the Rays as a free agent after spending the 2018 season with Houston. While he’s always been a great pitcher, Morton’s skills have noticeably improved over the past few years, specifically after joining…
Brent Honeywell, number 4 prospect in the Rays’ organization, threw for the first time in a while last week and Rays fans should all be super excited. Honeywell is a very talented pitcher who has overcome a lot of obstacles to get where he is today. He is my personal favorite pitching prospect and I…
The Rays traded one of their best relievers, Emilio Pagan, for Padres’ defensive gem outfielder, Manuel Margot, and prospect, Logan Driscoll. A lot of Rays fans couldn’t help but notice that the Rays now have a lot of outfielders. In a statement by Rays’ GM Erik Neander (reported by Juan Toribio of MLB.com), he implies…
