Rays’ offense keeps rolling in big win over Baltimore

September 8, 2018 general

Saturday, 3 a.m. When the Baltimore Orioles came to town, they evidently brought along the ghost of Earl Weaver with them. You remember Weaver.

September 2, 2018 Baseball

Sunday, 1:30 a.m. It doesn’t matter if you believe that Rays’ ace Blake Snell is a viable Cy Young candidate. Evidently, his fastball believes it. And his curve. Also, his slider. And his change.

Saturday, 2 a.m. It doesn’t matter how good a pitcher is if his offense is shut out. What’s he supposed to do? Hold a team to negative runs? It doesn’t matter how good he is if the other guy is better. However, to the Tampa Bay Rays, a team with one eye on its future, […]

Rays’ winning streak stops at eight against Braves

August 29, 2018 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. It had been a long time since the Tampa Bay Rays had tasted defeat. It had been an eon since the Rays gave up nine runs. It had been an eternity since their fielding was this sloppy. It had been ages since they stranded so many men on base. And, for the […]
