C’mon, you guys knew this was coming eventually…There is a general sense amongst some of our readers that all we do is bash the Rays media coverage. The truth is we actually admire most of the working media and respect most of their work. We just get a sense that [...]

THE GOOD: Akinori Iwamura’s defense. We can’t stop praising how seamlessly he has moved to his new position. If he does not win the gold glove, it would be a bigger injustice than Evan Longoria not winning the rookie of the year. Last night, the Rays turned 2 double-plays in [...]

FIRST INNING A look back…The A’s threw three lefties in this series against the Rays and yet the Rays still won 2 games…Did this series lay any doubt on the notion that the Rays struggle against lefties and need a right-handed bat before the trading deadline? In the series, the [...]

THE GOOD: James Shields outside of the back-to-back home runs in the 2nd inning. After the 2 home runs, he retired 13 of the next 14 batters and faced the minimum over that span. Other than the 2 solo homers, he allowed only 4 hits and 1 run, striking out [...]

Durham @ Lehigh Valley (ppd. rain) Tennessee 4, Montgomery 3 (10). David Price gave 3 runs (2 earned) in 6 innings. He gave up 7 hits, including 1 double and a 2-run home run in the 4th inning. He struck out 6 and walked 2…Eddie Morlan pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, [...]

Yesterday we presented our updated Trade Value Index (TVI). With a little over a week until next Thursday’s trade deadline, rather than take a look at the players the Rays may target we will take a look at the players most likely to be sent packing should Andrew Friedman and [...]

One year ago on Rays Index we documented the conversation on the mound between Jim Hickey and Brian Stokes during a 21-4 loss to the Yankees. What a difference a year makes. We Like The Feel Of A Hammer On Our Heads [Rays Index]
