Tonight’s game was a story that was all too well felt. A few big swings asked for some hope to create some hope, a bad throw from the starter who erased, and then an attack that spent the rest of the night looking for another acceleration that it never found. The Blue Jays first came […]
It is hard to believe that this strange and unique season is almost over. The rays have completed their penultimate series of the season this afternoon, with only three games to play until they hang it until next year (where we will certainly hope that we will see them play in a real MLB stadium […]
The night started with a memory that baseball is more than just a game, but a continuous story. Dewayne Staats, the voice of Rays Baseball since the beginning, has taken the first throw into what was a nod to his fiftieth season in the stand and perhaps a calm recognition that ends his time at […]
The Rays continued their Chicago week with a last outing against the White Sox. So far it had been a split series of One-Run victories, so the rays clearly hoped that this would be a game that they could break open wide. They leaned on Ian Seymour for pitching tasks, while Shane Smith was on […]
Look, when your starter is scratched shortly before the game time, your chances of winning go down. Tonight ended as a bullennacht for a team that has not had a particularly effective bull pen. Ryan Pepiot reported fatigue, and in a real sign that everyone knows that this team was cooked, they skipped his start, […]
In a draw, the rays ended the seventh and eighth innings on the stealing with runners. It was a disappointing loss after a strong start by Shane Baz. The rays look up again at the Guardians in the Al Wild Card Race and three games back from Seattle. If you dig yourself out of a […]
It is almost 20 years since the Tampa Bay Rays had hit a player in a season at least 40 homeruns. On Tuesday, Junior Caminero achieved that totally in a dramatic way when he launched a match that Homerun Bond in a crucial match against the Seattle Mariners. Caminero plays with an extreme intensity while […]
The only thing that was missing tonight was the supposed future owner of the Rays, Patrick Zalupski, who met Junior Caminero on second base and presented him a large blank check after his threw two-run double in the seventh inning. It would have been justified and I think even the Mariners would have understood the […]
It wasn’t a nice game. It was not an efficient game. The starter of the rays could not pass the fourth. Two men were able to get into scoring position because of the rays. If my mathematics is correct, Rays -wergers threw 174 throws. If my eyes didn’t cheat on me, Rays -stroke people threw […]
I have almost no more words and ways to wonder about what Junior Caminero is doing this year. He has just turned 22, this is his age of 21, and the only players who have done things like this are in the Hall of Fame, will be in the Hall of Fame, or only a […]
