Joe is back with his post-game thoughts…. It’s hard not to overreact when you see the Rays fail in all phases of the game. Aside from getting blanked 7-0 by the hated Yankees tonight, the Rays inched closer to the AL lead in errors, the deep, deep batting slump continued, and Joe’s probably [...]
After AJ Pierzynski spiked Ben Zobrist earlier in the series, Alex Cobb exacted a bit of revenge when he hit Piehead with a pitch early in today’s game. All even? Apparently not. The White Sox then threw behind Zobrist and Jose Quintana was ejected (notice Pierzynski doesn’t even move his [...]
Joe is back with his post-game thoughts…. Joe watched Ben Zobrist’s seeing-eye, bloop double, all those Jays errors, and Brett Lawrie’s almost justifyable temper tantrum, and Joe couldn’t help but sit back and contemplate after the Rays’ 4-3 win that destiny really is on Tampa Bay’s side this season. And for this [...]
Joe is back with his postgame thoughts…. Tonight was about as fun and soothing as it gets. Seriously. After a 5-0 spanking of the Angels, we can all pretend David Price is a perennial Cy Young candidate again and that there’s enough pop in the lineup to win in the postseason. [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. Miami 5, RAYS 1 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Matt Joyce. Of the players expected to be regulars in the lineup, no player has more at bats this [...]
Ben Zobrist already wears a lot of hats uses a lot of gloves, and now he is apparently getting into the acting business. Erik Parks, who is apparently a friend of Zobrist, produced a short film called “Snake.” Zobrist and his wife Julianna make appearances in the flick. Here is [...]

Joe Maddon had a pretty cool comment that we think shows just how mature this Rays roster is even though they are very young… “For a young guy to come into this camp with bad work habits, I promise you they will be rectified within the day, and not by [...]
We are not sure if this particular issue is out yet, but it appears that Ben Zobrist is on the cover of the latest Eastbay magazine. Here is the cover. And below, you can see a video of Zorilla talking about being on the cover…
Our correspondent Jordi Scrubbings is back with his latest… There are very few Rays players more fascinating than Ben Zobrist. We in the Rays community know his story: marginally successful utility player tinkers with his swing and becomes one of the most under the radar versatile all-round all-stars in baseball [...]

Prince Fielder is not to keen on the idea of a 3-year contract.
