Rays holding steady despite injury to Longoria
Posted on 12 May 2012 by Zack Greenfield.
By Zack Greenfield After Evan Longoria went down for 4-8 weeks with an injury many people though that this would hurt the Rays to the point that they would start to drop off a bit. Usually, when a team loses their best player, you hope somebody could step up. That hasn't quite happened but the Rays continue to be somewhat consistent despite losing 2 out of 3 in the Bronx. Their starters have ...

State Of The Rays
Posted on 16 Apr 2012 by Brian Joyce.
The Rays got off to a quick start this season by sweeping the Yankees in their first three games. They quickly cooled off after dropping two in Detroit. I know it's early, but the Rays starting pitching isn't living up to its reputation. While the starting pitching is getting pounded (they'll turn it around) the bullpen has been a disaster if your name is not Fernando Rodney. During the first...

Rays look solid after 6 games but questions remain.
Posted on 13 Apr 2012 by Zack Greenfield.
Despite losing 7-2 to the now 5-1 Detroit Tigers yesterday, the Rays are still 4-2 on the young season with many reasons for optimism including a 3 game sweep of the Yankees. A couple things that I noticed that the Rays and their fans should be happy about. First of all the starting pitching has been, as expected, very good. Other than James Shields' start on opening day, all the other sta...

How Sweep It Is
Posted on 9 Apr 2012 by Brian Joyce.
The Tampa Bay Rays are off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2002 after sweeping the New York Yankees over the weekend. The Yankees start the season 0-3 for the first time since 1998 and we all know how that season ended. The 1998 Yankees were one of the best teams ever assembled. It's a little early to start celebrating, but if you're Tampa Bay you have to be pleased with this sweep be...

Armed and Ready
Posted on 6 Apr 2012 by Brian Joyce.
The headline says it all when talking about the 2012 edition of the Tampa Bay Rays. In my humble opinion the Rays have the best starting pitching in the AL. Tampa Bay will rarely win a slug fest because they don't have the firepower like the other top tier teams in the league have. They'll lean heavily on their starting pitching and their defense to carry them throughout the season....

New Label, Same Great Taste: Early Season Review of Your 2011 Tampa Bay Rays
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Nick Blanchard.
Since coming back from a left oblique strain that landed him on the DL, Longoria has hit .310/.429/.655 in 9 May games. Tampa Bay has gone 7-2 since his return. 2011 has been a story of resiliency for the Tampa Bay Rays thus far. They opened the season losing 6 straight games and dropping their first three series (BAL, LAA, CHW). To compound the defeats, they also lost their star third baseman...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays on Paper
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Tampa Bay lost a lot over the offseason. Gone is Carlos Pena who provided the pop in the middle of the lineup. Carl Crawford provided speed, and Jason Bartlett had a solid glove at short. On the pitching side, Matt Garza is now a Cub, and the bullpen has been destroyed. These are the unfortunate circumstances of being a small-market team. Luckily for the Rays, there's still a lot of young...

Rays in a Texas Showdown
Posted on 5 Oct 2010 by Charlie Crabb.
The Tampa Bay Rays are charging into the playoffs after a one year absence from October baseball. After clinching the AL East division on the last game of the season- thanks to a Red Sox win over the Yankees- the Rays can enter with confidence as they square-off against the Texas Rangers in the first round. The key to success for the Rays is to maintain their dynamic running game that has carri...

AL East Mid-Season
Posted on 14 Jul 2010 by Charlie Crabb.
While only sitting two games back of the Yankees, the Rays have a serious opportunity to take the AL East. However, with the recent Yankee insurgence against the Rays it will be a daunting task to get back on top. The Rays enter the second half winning eight of their last ten. Not shabby, the only problem is the Yankees are too. It is going to be a battle of attri...

Rays Enter Tropical Storm
Posted on 27 Jun 2010 by Charlie Crabb.
Over the last 31 games the Rays have dropped 19. Of course, being in the AL East any slump of this magnitude generally results in falling behind—by a lot. Though it may not seem so horrid being 2.5 games back as of Sunday night, the Rays 31 games ago had a comfortable 4.5 game lead over the Yankees, and the Red Sox were out of the question. Now they find themselves in third, and in the midst ...

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
Posted on 14 Jun 2010 by Charlie Crabb.
It did not take long for Justin O’Connor to sign. The Ray’s second selection of the 2010 Amateur Draft stands at 6-foot-1 and weighs 190 lbs. The catcher was at Tropicana field Monday to discuss what the minor leagues will be like and what the team wants him to accomplish with senior advisor Don Zimmer and manager Jon Madden. O’Connor, a natural short-stop with an excellent arm, will like...

6”9 giant Jeff Niemann suffered his first loss of the season today. After starting the season 6-0, Niemann was tagged for 9 hits and 5 earned runs against the Marlins– who captured the series with a 6-1 win Sunday afternoon. Despite this however Niemann still owns a solid 2.83 ERA and an equally impressive 1.08 WHIP. After a strong rookie year (13-6), Niemann is dodging the not...
