Odorizzi keeps decent pitching going for Rays

July 30, 2016 general

Saturday, 5:30 a.m. How competitive might the Tampa Bay Rays have been if they had had decent starting pitching all along? Maybe, they would have looked something like this. The Rays have won six of their last 11 games (after going 3-24 in their previous 27) with nine straight quality starts by their starting rotation. […]

Moore Should be an untradeable Ray

July 6, 2016 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. No. As other teams try to kick the tires on Matt Moore, as they consider how much of their farm system they would be willing to trade, as they envision how Moore would fit on their mound, the Rays’ response should be simple. No. You can’t have him. Moore has graduated from […]

Is Tampa Bay’s Longoria deserving of being an all-star?

July 6, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. Time was, he was an automatic. It was all-star time, and Evan Longoria would pack his bags. Other players might rest, but Longo always had somewhere to go. It was celebrity time, and Longoria always had some third base to play. It was that way in 2008. And 2009. And 2010. He […]

Isn’t it time someone on the Rays became angry?

July 4, 2016 general

Monday 6 a.m. The voices are soothing as they come out of the Tampa Bay Rays’ clubhouse. They are positive, affirming, and any minute, they might break into a chorus of Kumbaya. If there is disappointment, no one lets on. They come to praise whatever small parts of the game that can be praised. No […]

Losing continues as Rays bashed by Tigers again

July 2, 2016 general

Saturday, 5:30 a.m. Meet the new closer for the Tampa Bay Rays. Why, it’s infielder Taylor Motter. Not that things are going badly for the Rays’ bullpen — and the rest of the Rays, too — but the Rays turned to an infielder Friday night to finish things up in a 10-2 pounding by the […]

Rays rough Price as Moore pitches well

June 30, 2016 general

Thursday, 5:30 a.m. This was the place of his humble early days. And, for that matter, his humbler middle days, too. The Tampa Bay Rays flattened former teammate David Price, again, in their Wednesday afternoon game. The Rays won 4-0, scoring all of their runs in the first three innings. In five starts against his […]

Should Cash be on the hot seat with Rays?

June 28, 2016 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. Another town, and Kevin Cash’s chair would be on fire. Another team, and the front office is measuring his head to see if it fits on a post. Here, there is patience. Here, there is belief. Here, there is calm. Too much patience. Too much belief. Too much calm. For goodness sakes, […]
