Latest news and updates about the Rays
The Rays opted to go with the “we have McDonalds at home” approach during the trade deadline by not acquiring any external talent to upgrade at second base. Luis Arraez was a popular name, but ultimately the team decided to roll with a platoon pairing of Richie Palacios and Ben Williamson. Overall, this was a […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rays fans and fans across the country. Last week we reacted to recent injuries in the rotation, let’s take a step back. Do you have concerns generally for these last few weeks of […]
Welcome to another week A’s fans! The recent homestand went so-so as the A’s first got swept by the Rays before winning a series against the Rangers. Considering Texas is in our division if we were going to win a series it’s good we won the divisional matchup. Now the club is back on the […]
Hold up. The Yankees won, scoring more than two runs to boot? AND the Rays lost? And Boston lost? On the field at least, Sunday was as good a day as Yankee fans could have hoped for. The Yankee win along with the losses from its two biggest nemeses in the division moves New York […]
If you’re like me, you were getting very close to throwing in the towel when the Orioles stumbled over the beatable Rangers and Twins ahead of their current 10-game stretch against the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees. They just couldn’t get out of their own way and seemed incapable of shaking loose the […]

The Rays defense kept the first inning from escalating into disaster. With Pete Alonso on first base, Ryan Vilade made this catch to save a run. But that’s not all! Pete Alonso was so sure this would be a hit that he was moseying around second base and even with Vilade having stand up and […]
After the Orioles traded Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Tyler Wells and Dean Kremer before the August 3rd deadline, it was difficult to imagine them winning three straight games against a first-place team or moving into playoff position. On Sunday, they accomplished both. Down 1-0 through four innings, the Orioles’ bats exploded for 10 combined runs […]
Sunday play ends with O's holding an AL playoff spot
Go Rays!
It’s a been a fun weekend of Orioles baseball. Back-to-back wins over the AL-leading Rays, paired with some helpful outcomes elsewhere in the league, have inched the O’s to within half a game of the final wild card spot in the American League. Another victory today could push them into sole possession of that place. […]
Saturday day was a day that ends in “Y,” so that mean the Yankees’ offense didn’t produce much. Just like Friday, the Blue Jays held the fake Bronx Bombers to just one run, scoring only a bit more than that themselves to take the victory. The Yankees themselves put in a frustrating performance, but could […]

Go Rays!
So the Mariners’ 50th anniversary celebratory weekend hasn’t gone as planned on the field. Are any of that that surprised? Thankfully, both the alumni home run derby on Friday and the pregame ceremony last night reminded us that yes, there can still be joy in baseball. The M’s will look to salvage the series against […]
The Colorado Rockies started their week on a high note by completing their sweep of the Kansas city Royals. Unfortunately, they were then promptly swept themselves by one of the best teams in baseball in the Tampa Bay Rays. Now the Rockies are on the road for a nine game road trip, starting with a […]
Rays started slow with some awkward last minute changes. Griffin Jax had to be scratched with elbow discomfort, while Taylor Walls was removed from the initial lineup still dealing with back soreness. The loss of Jax (and hopefully not for too long) changed the strategy shifting towards a full on bullpen game. Combine that with […]

Go Rays!
Well, this could be awkward. The Mariners will take another step in the never-ending Hell that is the 2026 season. They lost last night, two solo homers to one. The lineup continues to look lifeless, and the pitching has been the worst in the majors for weeks now. This is a very bad baseball team […]
Catching up on a few injured list placements from Friday… The Rays placed infielder Ben Williamson on the 10-day IL (retroactive to August 6) due to a right hamstring strain, as Carson Williams was called up from Triple-A to join the 26-man roster. Manager Kevin Cash told the Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin and other […]
Hello everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners may have lost a sleepy 2-1 game to the Rays yesterday, but the Alumni Home Run Derby provided plenty of fun as former Mariner Stefen Romero took the crown, defeating Austin Nola in the final round. But truly, has there been a more fun moment this season than […]
