The Rays eked out a win over the Nationals with good pitching and defense and just enough offense to win their first series since they took two of three from the Angels a few weeks ago. Nick Martinez got the start, and while he probably isn’t, over a full season, the Cy Young caliber guy […]

This game was a tease. Each time the Rays made a little headway on offense, they quickly gave it back on defense. Well, let me be clearer: Mason Englert, the Rays starter, promptly gave it back, because when the other team is hitting dingers it’s not the fielders who are letting us down. The Rays […]

Apparently the Rays needed to leave the country to get back on track. Their offense perked up in their 7-1 win on Monday night, but it caught on fire – in a good, and not a dumpster way— tonight. Every player other than Taylor Walls had a hit, and even Walls still managed to score […]

After a three game series in which they scored exactly three (3) runs over 27 innings, I think I’m going to need to see proof of life photos for the Rays offense. We’ll get to the errors and pitching mistakes, I promise, but when a team scores only one very late run, we need to […]

The Rays lost another blowout tonight, one in their starter could not complete four innings and the subsequent relievers didn’t offer much relief. Nick Martinez….I don’t know, I love the guy for so many reasons, but after his amazing first couple of months, it seems like every three, maybe even two outings is a clunker. […]

The Rays came away with a very satisfying win tonight. With hits across the lineup (Victor Mesa Jr. led the way with three; defensive gems across the field; and outstanding pitching (minus a few blips), this was a satisfying win. It sure didn’t seem like we were heading to this outcome at the start of […]

Ah, baseball. The Rays looked unimpressive as they lost a series to the lowly New York Mets last week, and I’ll bet I am not the only Rays fan who watched those games and thought, “THIS is a playoff team?” And when they came into Atlanta to play a Braves team that leads the division […]
