Rays return to losing ways

August 13, 2025 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. Here’s a question. How many of other team’s highlight films will feature the Tampa Bay Rays prominently this season? In a season that (lately) has had a lot more bad plays than good ones, the Rays turned in another dud Monday night. They lost to the Athletics 6-0, and there were very […]

August 12, 2025 general

Seattle homers doom Rays in loss

August 10, 2025 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Is it time to wonder if Joe Boyle is ripe yet? Boyle, who looked promising early in the year, has fallen on hard times.

August 10, 2025 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. Yay, laundry. Fans cheered the red jerseys. They cheered the white pants. They cheered the pewter helmets.

Rays waste Rasmussen’s strong start

August 9, 2025 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. It didn’t take long for Griffin Jax to catch the vibe of the Tampa Bay Rays’ wobbly bullpen. Hint: It wasn’t a good vibe. Jax gave up a three-run homer to Cal Raleigh in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Rays blew a two-run lead to lose. The Rays are […]

Bucs’ stars won’t answer questions

August 8, 2025 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Questions. We’ve got questions. Sadly, the Tampa Bay Bucs won’t offer much in the way of answers tonight. Wondering how close Baker Mayfield will get to his impressive statistics from a year ago? You won’t find out tonight. Wondering how many yards Bucky Irving can get in his second season? It’ll be […]

Rays struggle with their offense again

August 6, 2025 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. Did Adrian Houser really think he was going to a team with a better offense? After all, he had spent the season with the Chicago White Sox, a dreadful team.
