The Rays Tank: Off Day and the Sneaker Soiree
The Rays got a day off to relax on Thursday. Joe Maddon and Evan Longoria attended the Tampa Bay Sports Commission's Sneaker Soiree while Luke Scott went fishing.
The Rays got a day off to relax on Thursday. Joe Maddon and Evan Longoria attended the Tampa Bay Sports Commission's Sneaker Soiree while Luke Scott went fishing.
The Rays wrapped up their road trip with a 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays in the 10th, and the team shifted the rotation for the upcoming series against the Yankees.
Joe Maddon has discovered MLB's top secret expanded replay. Watch out, umpires, because it's only a matter of time before he uses it the Rays' advantage.
Last year? Homophobic slurs on his eye black. This year? Home run celebrations that may have gone a tad too far.
Between Matt Moore and a (seemingly) prolific offense, suddenly all the writers who jumped off the Rays bandwagon are right back on.
Seems like this Rays team has a little pitching depth this year. Jake Odorizzi will replace David Price.
David Price was placed on the 15-day DL, so who will step into his spot in the position?
Despite his rough start to the season, a collective groan escaped all Rays fans when David Price left last night's game injured.
Yes, it rhymed. Credit the postgame happiness of yet another win.
Where would the Rays be without Evan Longoria? The star third baseman had a huge week, hitting .464 with 3 homers and 11 RBI to lead the Rays to a 5-2 record, and was named the AL Player of the Week.
The Rays offense, defense and pitching all clicked this weekend as the Rays swept the Padres in a three-game series at the Trop.
The changeup giveth and the changeup taketh away, leading to both success and failure for Cobb and Hellickson.
Price goes eight innings, the bullpen didn't allow any runs, and the Rays win on a walk.
Pitching allowed the Rays' offense to get a solid lead, and keep it; and the discussion began again concerning protective gear for pitchers.
The bullpen will be fine, too.
This one still has a bitter taste this morning.
Alex Cobb improved to 4-2 on the season as the Rays defeated the Rockies 8-3 to take the series in Colorado.
Scott Kazmir dominated on his way to his victory since 2010, striking out 7 while walking 1 in 6 inning of work.
The Rays/ Royals matchup was postponed yesterday due to inclimate weather. Fines were handed down from MLB to Price, Moore and Hellickson for their tweets about the Hallion incident.
The missing offense has returned, but the pitching has taken a leave of absence.
Why did Alex Cobb implode in the 6th inning on Tuesday? As it turns out, the Royals made a mid-game adjustment to his curveball and the result was Cobb looking as bad as we've seen him in quite a while.
The final step in the breakup with James Shields -- seeing him, in a Royals uniform, pitch against the Rays. Sigh.
Rays' players take to Twitter to voice their opinion on Umpire Tom Hallion.
While Matt Moore pitched extremely well again for the Rays, Scott Kazmir took a huge step forward in his second start for the Indians.
Jose Lobaton went 2-for-2 with a walk and his first homerun of the season in last night's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.
