Last night, Joe Maddon was faced with a very specific situation for the third time in the Tigers series: Runners on first and second, 2 outs in the 7th inning and Miguel Cabrera due up. And for the 3rd straight game, JoeMa intentionally walked Cabrera. And for the 3rd straight game the [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Gold Glove First Baseman. 3 of the Rays 4 runs scored on hits by Carlos Pena that went off the glove of Miguel Cabrera. [...]
Absolutely loving how the Rays didn’t only sweep the Tigers but sucked the soul out of them in the process. You could heap superlatives left and right on the Rays about now. Randy Choate and Dan Wheeler looking like studs in starring roles. Sean “wet-vac” Rodriguez seemingly dried out now [...]

[Update] Jayson Stark reports that the Rays are just “monitoring [his] workload”…That is fishy. Three innings is not “monitoring a workload.” That sounds more like somebody else might get traded and the Rays may need Hellickson to pitch this weekend. [12:25pm] Jeremy Hellickson was pulled today after just 3 innings [...]

On July 16, the Rays were set to open the second-half in Replica Yankee Stadium. Sean Rodriguez missed the game because a faulty splrinkler system flooded his condo the day before. He was then scheduled to take a flight on Friday and arrive in time for the game, but a [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Maddonology. For the second straight night, Joe Maddon walked Miguel Cabrera with runners on 1st and 2nd to put the tying run on third [...]
When your team’s literally on pace for 100 wins (after 100 games), plus young and relatively healthy, it can be challenging to find fault. That’s where the Rays are. Maddenology is breaking new ground. Joaquin Benoit and MFIKY have found a new level of shutdown nasty. And the Rays have shown [...]
