Can Rays’ pitching win enough games?

March 2, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. The questions are like apples in a tree. If you don’t find one you like, hang around. One will hit you on the head. For most teams, spring training comes with three, maybe four questions. Will the new free agent catch on quickly? Can the injured star heal? Can the new ace […]

Rays’ Hickey has to work his magic again

February 26, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. The years go by, and he gets smarter. These days, there is something you trust about Jim Hickey, the most accomplished man in a Tampa Bay Rays’ uniform. He is the Svengali, the mentor, the teacher. He can take a questionable pitching staff and turn it into something that works. Year after […]

Rays lose a crusher as Wild-Card slips further away

August 27, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. When the baserunners stand in place, out after out, batter after batter, stranded there like a fan in the wrong stadium as teammates pop up weakly, that elusive wild-card berth seems a million miles away. At such a time, all the talk of the Rays reaching the post-season seems silly. When pitcher […]

Could these Rays lose 100 games before it’s over?

July 10, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. How bad could it get? How far out could they finish? The faster these Tampa Bay Rays fall, and the further, the easier it is to wonder. This team continues to plummet, past the clouds, past the mountain tops, and toward the rocks below. You know it will end up painful and […]

Is Tampa Bay warming up to these Rays?

June 29, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. I like Chris Archer. I think he’s a bright guy, reflective. I think he’s a heck of a pitcher who is just entering stardom. I think he’s funny to watch as he sneaks up behind one teammate after another, armed with a Gatorade jug, intent on making players wet for their heroics. […]

June 23, 2015 general

Tuesday, 11:37 p.m. He has arrived. Before Chris Archer was good, he was on the cusp of being great. Now, it is only a matter of just how long he good he can get. Archer won his sixth straight game Tuesday night, shutting down a hot-hitting lineup of the Toronto Blue Jays. Through eight innings, […]

At the ripe old age of 26, Archer has arrived

June 12, 2015 general

Friday, 5:42 p.m. You can see the age around the eyes. They are the eyes of experience, the eyes of age, the eyes of wisdom. He is 26 now, and he has seen some things. Yep. Chris Archer has done some growing up. Don’t look now, but almost overnight, Archer has gone from promise to […]
