The Tampa Bay Rays took a look at their American League competition and then took a look in the mirror. They quickly came to the conclusion that they were the best team in the AL. They have proved it throughout the season.

The Yankees fell in lackluster fashion on Wednesday, scoring just a single run en route to a 3-1 loss. Will Warren wasn’t as sharp as his previous outing, but when your offense is as hard-pressed as the Yankees’ lineup is to score multiple runs in a rally you’d have to be in phenomenal form to […]

The Tampa Bay Rays must have believed that they could help get the best out of Freddy Peralta after trading for him from the New York Mets prior to the deadline. Peralta was one of the best pitchers in MLB last year when he was with the Milwaukee Brewers, but his play has fallen off […] The post Rays fans get disappointing results from Freddy Peralta’s debut appeared first on ClutchPoints .
This was Tampa Bay Rays starter Freddy Peralta’s third time to face the Rockies this season following two starts with his previous team, the New York Mets. He came into the game with a 3-0 record at Coors in addition to a 1.23 ERA. But it didn’t seem like it would matter against a persistent […]
It was an impressive showing for the Rays offense last night, as Junior Caminero’s two homers and Jonathan Aranda’s four hits led the way to a 13-9 victory.

The Miami Marlins entered the trade deadline sitting firmly in the thick of the National League Wild Card race, just 2 games back of the final playoff wild card spot at 58-55.

Yesterday was that more elusive kind of day in the Major League Baseball regular season when fans paid more attention to news and trade rumors than the actual action on the field. Such is the Trade Deadline! And it was a busy one, even if Yankees fans saw no catching or bullpen help come through […]
The Marlins and Rays officially announced a trade sending catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to Tampa Bay for three prospects.

Tampa Bay already had an opening on the 40-man roster after designating Craig Kimbrel for assignment. Hicks will hopefully be a long-term answer for […]
This game had a little bit of everything, and it really was not as close as the final score. This game was well in hand very early, but Coors did what it often does and made things interesting late. It is rather crazy this game was 13-9 with the wind screaming in from left field […]
The Rockies pieced together a decent late rally, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an eight-run deficit on Monday night at Coors Field. The game capped off an action-packed day that included the Rockies trading Brenton Doyle, Antonio Senzatela and Victor Vodnik. This one got out […]
