Joe is back with his post-game thoughts…. It’s pathetic that Joe is sitting here mad that Matt Joyce didn’t move from second to third in the ninth inning with one out when a pitch got away from the Orioles’ catcher toward the first base bag. Would it have made a [...]
The Tampa Bay Rays often (every game?) have these little group “cheer” sessions in the dugout prior to the games. And honestly, it is more reminiscent of something you would see at a high school softball game than a Major League Baseball game. Obviously it is fun and shows how [...]
The Rays activated Matt Joyce from the disabled list today. But rather than waive Hideki Matsui, as some speculated and many fans wanted, the Rays instead optioned Will Rhymes to the minors (via TampaBay.com). On the surface, this move makes sense as Ben Zobrist will now move back to second [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. Indians 3, RAYS 2 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Help Is On The Way. Matt Joyce sent out a tweet last night saying he would be back in [...]

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 7, RAYS 3 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Flash Jennings. After the comeback win on Saturday night, things looked good when Desmond Jennings, batting 7th, drove [...]
Matt Joyce spoke with the media today and said he hopes to be back playing “within two weeks” (via Marc Topkin). Of course, even then, he will still need a rehab stint in the minors. So it sounds like we won’t see him back with the Rays until August.
There are several great stats out there that can tell how well a player is hitting, but they don’t tell us who is getting the hits when it matters most*. For example, most stats will treat a home run hit in the 9th inning of tie game the same as [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. RAYS 10, Indians 3 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Boom Sticks. Make no mistake, last night was about Luke Scott. But the Rays did score 8 other runs [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. RAYS (boxscore) THE GOOD: David Price. The Rays’ Ace deserved a better fate. As strong as the Rays’ bullpen is right now, the starters have done [...]
Matt Joyce played in a rehab assignment game last night for the Durham Bulls, and according to the Herald-Sun, asked to be taken out of the game after three at bats after feeling something in his back… The only bad news for the Bulls was that Joyce left the game [...]
