The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. Red Sox 5, RAYS 1 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Jeremy Hellickson. Hellboy stretched it out a bit, throwing 3 innings, striking out 4 and walking none. He [...]
Here is a tweet Joe Maddon sent out earlier today which is just so Joe… Going to miss @pink at the Times Forum 2nite but would love to have her throw out 1st pitch at tomorrow’s game vs Tigers or take BP. — Joe Maddon (@RaysJoeMaddon) February 27, 2013 So [...]
Joe Maddon and Andrew Friedman sat down with Peter Gammons for a tag-team interview. You can see the highlights below in which they spend a good deal of time discussing how Maddon ended up with the Rays, why he stays with the team, and what the organization’s philosophies are. But [...]

THE JUNKYARD DOGS WEBTOPIA… The Rays held their annual charity golf tournament and both Ben Zobrist and Joe Maddon wore some magnificent pants (via MLB.com). Here is a fascinating read on Juan Sandoval, a non-roster invitee in camp with the Rays. He is a pitcher. He is also blind in [...]

[UPDATE] Hayhurst has responded to this post. You can see his comments at the end. Looking through some more excerpts from Dirk Hayhurst’s upcoming book about his time in the Rays organization, we get an interesting, if not very flattering look at Joe Maddon. We also are starting to get [...]
This has been floating around for about a week, but in case you haven’t seen it yet, the folks over at BaseballProspectus had Evan Brunell, a blogger who also happens to be deaf, go over some videos of managers arguing with umpires and use his lip-reading skills to let us [...]
Here are a few leftover links to get the week started… The Rays were one of several teams to recently scout Javier Vazquez. Vazquez last pitched with the Marlins in 2011. It is hard to believe anything will come of this. If he is indeed at 93 on the gun [...]
Zack Meisel of MLB.com has written an article on the anatomy of arguments between managers and umpires. The entire piece is a solid read, so check it out. But the part that we are most interested in is two umpires recounting run-ins with Rays skipper Joe Maddon. Having seen Maddon [...]

Ian Eagle does, and he has a comparison that sports fans in Florida might find interesting (via Sun-Sentinel.com)… The Dolphins have clearly exceeded expectations through six games. Joe Philbin is like the Joe Maddon of football, a [...]
