Another series in New York that will determine the top of the AL East for the time being
After earning a split with a rare one-run getaway day victory on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays head off to The Big Apple for yet another series with the Yankees that will determine first place in the AL East. It’s only mid-June, and it feels like we’ve already had a half dozen of these series.
On Monday, the Rays will send out Yonny Chirinos, Starting Pitcher (7-2, 2.88/4.08/4.08 ERA/FIP/xFIP, 1.0 fWAR)...
After another slow start, Kevin Padlo has been on fire for a while now.
Anyone who reads the comments here every day knows I’m not the first person who’s made this observation, but Kevin Padlo has been swinging a hot bat for a while now. Through 18 games, he had a .521 OPS. Now, he’s batting .250/.386/.520. His .906 OPS is second in the Southern League, and he’s still a little younger than the average player in the league.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (42-27)
A pair of home runs from Rays...
6/16/19: Rays score 2 in the 8th to ward off Angels
Kevin Cash is always happy to earn a win and the return of Joey Wendle, but knows the bullpen has to improve for upcoming road trip
Rays split a series that was anything but heavenly.
At one point during this game, the Fox broadcast crew announced that the Rays are currently 2-10 for day games at home. As the staffer generally responsible for recapping Sunday afternoon day games, this stat feels very, very accurate.
That said, things went in the Rays favor today, with a slew of dads on hands to enjoy Father’s Day festivities at the park. In spite of the Angels scoring in the top of the first with a Pujols sac fly, the...
The Rays have to win today to eke out a series split against the Los Angeles Mike Trouts
This could be a bad homestand, or a terrible one. Let’s see which one it will be.
Durham pitching continued to excel against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s tough lineup.
When you’re the top prospect in baseball, fans find out about why you left a game early almost immediately:

A Rays rally comes up short.
On bark at the park day, the Rays refused to roll over and play dead. They battled back from a four run deficit, before coming up on the losing side of a 5-3 dogfight. It was Charlie Morton’s first loss in four dog years.
With the club sporting Devil Ray throwbacks, Morton was bedeviled by Angels not named Trout and Ohtani. The big two were 0 for 6 with 3 strikeouts against Morton. The rest of the lineup were like yippy little Yorkshire terriers, pestering the...
The Tampa Bay Rays have recalled right-hander Jake Faria from Triple-A Durham and demoted infielder Daniel Robertson, the team announced. Faria makes his second appearance with the Rays this season, the first resulting in a scoreless two-inning outing against the Red Sox on April 20. He has otherwise notched solid strikeout rates in Triple A this season (11.6 K/9) along with a 4-1 record and 5.41 ERA across 15 games (six starts). Faria gave the Rays 86 2/3 strong innings in 2017, with 3.43...
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre had two stars in its lineup Friday, but Durham’s deep lineup couldn’t be stopped.
There was a stunner on Opening Day in the New York-Penn League. Hudson Valley opens against Aberdeen every season, and Hudson Valley had won seven of those games in a row, outscoring Aberdeen 40-10. That streak finally came to an end Friday.

Snell Struggles, but Choi & Co. come through
Is it too early to start worrying? Will the Rays ever win again?! Hard to say, but they would certainly try, with Blake Snell on the mound to help his team break a 3 game losing streak and 2nd series in a row. Rays would also have a familiar face back in the lineup.

Also maybe Chirinos is a starter, who is to say?
Let’s stop this bleeding right now, jeez.
What else did you expect from baseball’s next two-way sensation?
The Tampa Bay Rays newly minted top pitching prospect (at least by using the mid-season update from FanGraphs) is also straight-up demolishing baseballs at the plate.
LHP Brendan McKay has continued to be a two-way player after his promotion to Triple-A, despite hitting a mere .167/.256/.192 at Double-A, and with that trust has come some impressive results.
In 10 games (40 PA), McKay already has three home runs — not to...
Will you be spending Father’s Day at the park?
As we approach the Father’s Day weekend, when players will don pale blue caps and funds will be collected for prostate cancer research, it feels especially timely to think about our dads.
Not everyone is close to their families, and some of us have lost out parents, making themed events like these bittersweet. But for many, it can be a wonderful time to spend time with dad, or if you’re far away, to think of the best memories you shared...
It’s everyone’s favorite day at the park! (unless you have a dog allergy)
Is there anything better than a dog-themed event at the park? If you answered no and don’t like dogs, that’s fine I guess... weirdo. But for me, the combination of dogs and baseball is basically merging two of my all-time favorite things into one perfect tail-wagging, home-run hitting perfect day.
That day, for the Rays, comes this Saturday, June 15 — and from 11:40am to 1:40pm before the game, the Rays Wives...
