I hate playing the Rays at the best of times, and doubly so when we have to watch games at the Trop. That this series, a four-game set with Tampa enjoying a four-game lead in the AL East, is of outsized importance for the Yankees’ playoff trajectory and is also coming at a time the […]

But with […] The post Which Team Has Been the Biggest Disappointment Halfway Through 2026? appeared first on Just Baseball .
It never rains, but it pours. On the morning of June 18th, the Yankees were sitting pretty at 45-27, holding a 3.5 game lead over the Rays and expected by most to coast to the AL East division title. In the two and a half weeks since, they’ve struggled mightily while the pesky Rays have […]

The Fourth of July was an ugly one at Yankee Stadium. Given a spot start due to Carlos Rodón’s injury, Brendan Beck got absolutely walloped by Minnesota, giving up three homers to put the Yankees in a quick 5-0 hole by the middle of the second.

Is it me, or does it feel like the Rays almost never play well on holidays? Your gut feeling would be right, as Tampa Bay is now *checks notes* 10-18 on Independence Day. The Rays used some of their big pyrotechnics early, as the hottest bat in the sport, Junior Caminero, homered AGAIN in the […]
