Latest news and updates about the Rays
I’m on double duty tonight for Rivalry Roundup and our Today on Pinstripe Alley/daily question post, so since I generally try to throw some very quick thoughts on what the Yankees did as well in these, you’ll excuse me for double-dipping in the next two paragraphs. What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept […]
The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]
On a national telecast through Peacock, the Tampa Bay Rays got a well deserved spotlight this Sunday, starting with the star of the show – Junior Caminero – clearing the fence: After giving up the lead, the Rays would battle back the second time through the order, and after loading the bases, Taylor Walls – […]
Go Rays!
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]
The Rays were unable to continue their 10-game winning streak at the Trop on Saturday afternoon as they dropped the second game of the three-game set to the Miami Marlins by a score of 10-5 in extra innings. Early on this was the pitching due we all expected it to be with Nick Martinez facing […]
Go Rays!
After dropping five of six, the Yankees got back on track yesterday with a strong showing against the Mets at Citi Field. Cam Schlittler outdueled Clay Holmes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones had timely hits, and Ben Rice’s solo shot off Craig Kimbrel was the icing on the cake in a 5-2 win. It […]
Go Rays!
On Thursday afternoon, Homer Bush Jr laced a line drive that just kept carrying. It quickly soared over the starting pitcher, Owen Murphy. The middle infields jogged lazily into shallow center field as they began to line up for a potential relay throw, but quickly realized it was not going to happen. Then center fielder […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Hopefully, it’s been a good week, and you’re set to enjoy your weekend. To ease you into the final day of the week, we’ve got an assortment of baseball news for you to enjoy. We’re taking a look at the early discussions regarding the CBA and a potential salary cap, the new […]
The 2026 edition of the Subway Series begins tonight. What else needs to be said? The Yankees and Mets are both really in need of wins, though no matter how much the Rays are currently annoying Yankees fans in first place, the Mets’ record is quite a bit worse. Today on the site, Matt will […]
On Thursday, Florida Politics broke the news that the Rays, Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa have drawn up an MOU sketching out a public-private partnership to build a stadium to be built on the current Hillsborough College campus. According to Florida Politics sources, the city and county contributions to the stadium have been […]
Rays 3 Jays 5 (10 innings) Dylan Cease was terrific. Seven innings of one run ball. He allowed just three hits and three walks with nine strikeouts. He was in control until the seventh, when he went walk, pop out, walk, single (RBI), pop out, strikeout (with a Jays challenge helping to get the strikeout. […]
The Blue Jays beat the rays tonight, walking off in the bottom of the tenth inning thanks to a grand slam homer. Winning this game felt like a tough challenge even before the game started. Apart from a poor start against the Red Sox, the Blue Jay’s Dylan Cease has been very effective. And the […]
End of the series with the Rays. And then we don’t have to see them for a little while. The Jays are saying there is nothing decided on Jose Berrios yet. They are ‘talking through a plan with doctors”, which doesn’t sound like great news. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him on a mound […]
Go Rays!
With the news that Gavin Lux has had another setback in his recovery from several injuries to begin the 2026 season, the Rays will be without their anticipated second baseman for the foreseeable future. This is unfortunate for Lux as he’s in a contract year and his injuries will almost certainly impact his earning potential […]
The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action […]
Rays 7 Jays 6 (10 innings) The nice part about that game was the come back. The Jays were down 5-0. We were continuously told they would never score again. And then they got five runs in the seven to tie things up. It was a fun game to watch. In the seventh: Patrick Corbin […]
Jays are facing a tough pitcher tonight. Hopefully they will be able to get some hits off him. But Patrick Corbin has been pretty good too. Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Yandy Diaz – DH George Springer – DH Jonathan Aranda – 1B Myles Straw – RF Junior Caminero – 3B Vladimir Guerrero […]
Go Rays!
Baseball, especially the Rays brand of baseball, relies on doing all the little things well. Baseball is also a very luck dependent sport. But, doing the little things can help manufacture some luck. Perhaps no player exemplifies that more than Chandler Simpson. Simpson got things started right away, with a comebacker to Gausman, who was […]
Rays 8 Blue Jays 5 Generally, if one player drives in five runs, his team wins. But not today. Andrés Giménez homered in the first (three run shot) and the seventh (two runs), but we also gave up a bunch of runs. Things went bad for Kevin Gausman right from the start. Chandler Simpson bounced […]
I’d prefer to not talk about the entire weekend as it pertains to baseball. The Yankees got utterly spanked in Milwaukee, suffering their second sweep of the season. For that reason alone there was very little to cheer about the past few days. But to make it worse, the godforsaken Tampa Bay Rays continued their […]
